Abstract
Unguarded tricuspid orifice is the most extreme of tricuspid valve dysplasia with a very variable natural history. They can tolerate tricuspid regurgitation well, and they become symptomatic only if significant right ventricular dysfunction or atrial fibrillation occurs. Patients with a mild degree of right ventricular dysfunction can survive to adulthood and even reach old age. Surgical treatment is a difficult option due to variable natural history, and surgical results are not too encouraging.
