Figure 1 Concomitant TV repair during implantation of a HeartMate II device (Thoratec Corp, Pleasanton, Calif) using a modified Kay stitch. A, Severe TR resulted from scattered adhesions between the implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead and the septal leaflet of the TV. B, The valve leaflet was carefully cut to free the implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead. The remaining edges were reapproximated using 5-0 Prolene sutures. The implantable cardioverter defibrillator lead was placed at the commissure between the septal and posterior leaflets. A 4-0 Prolene suture was placed to plicate the tricuspid annulus at the posteroseptal commissure to reduce the effective annulus of the TV (modified Kay stitch).
