Case Discussion

The valve that was repaired is the tricuspid valve. The ring is C shaped because the anchor sutures in a full ring would destroy the AV node. The AV node lies at the top of the Triangle of Koch. The Triangle of Koch has the coronary sinus at it's base, the septal leaflet base at one side and the Ligament of Todaro on the other side. Where the Ligament of Todaro and the base of the septal leaflet approximate is the AV node.The open part of the ring is placed so sutures that anchor the ring do not destroy the AV node.
