Tricuspid regurgitation or Ebsteinoid dysplasia of the tricuspid valve in congenitally corrected transposition: is valvuloplasty necessary at anatomic repair?
Tricuspid valve function significantly improved after anatomic repair, independent of direct surgical intervention. For significant TR associated with Ebsteinoid dysplasia, valvuloplasty should be considered.
Arachidonic acid epoxygenase and its metabolites can promote angiogenesis through activating MAPK and PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathways, and to some extent, the eNOS pathway, and the angiogenic effects may provide protection to ischemic tissues.
