A 51-year-old unrestrained female driver with history of a high-speed motor vehicle accident had been followed due to progressively worsening tricuspid valve regurgitation (TR). Three dimensional (3D0 transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a TR jet through a perforation in the an avulsed anterior leaflet from the tricuspid valve and another central tricuspid TR jet regurgitation due to tricuspid leafletresulted from malcoaptation of the leaflets from tricuspid annulus annular dilatation.

Objective: To determine the role of perioperative milrinone on pulmonary hypertension in patients with mitral valve disease undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery. Study Design: Randomized Control Trial. Setting: Department of Cardiac Surgery, Faisalabad Institute of Cardiology, Faisalabad. Period: June 2019 to June 2020. Material & Methods: A total of 80 patients with mitral valve disease who underwent mitral valve replacement were included. The patients were divided into a control group of 40, who were not administered milrinone, and a study group of 40 who received milrinone perioperatively. TVPG, LVEF and NYHA class were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively and were compared. Results: In the study group, postoperative LVEFs and NYHA class were not statistically significant in both groups while postoperative TVPG was significantly lower in study group as compare to control group and is statistically significant (P<0.001). Conclusion: Our study concludes that milrinone can be used as an effective therapy to reduce pulmonary pressure in patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing mitral valve replacement surgery.
