Dysplasia of the tricuspid valve leading to recurrent atrial flutter and fibrillation: a case report
Tricuspid regurgitation and AFL/AF have a bidirectional relationship. Tricuspid regurgitation can both cause and result from AFL/AF. Structural heart diseases, including post-traumatic valve damage, should be considered in patients with recurrent AFL despite CTI-ablation and progression to AF. In cases with TR and right-heart-chamber enlargement, 3D-TEE is essential for accurate diagnosis and should be performed without delay.
