There were 32 patients in tricuspid detachment<br />(TVD) group and 204 in non-TVD group. The study endpoints were any<br />incidence of postoperative residual VSD, heart block or tricuspid regurgitation.<br />Fischer’s exact test was used to compare study endpoints.<br />Results: In TVD group 18 (56.3%) were male and in non-TVD group 141 (68.1%)<br />were male. Mean age in the TVD group was 13.38 ±6.91 years. While in non-<br />TVD group it was 11.34 ±6.06 years. Mean cross clamp time was 67.91 ±27.3<br />minutes and mean bypass time was 98.13 ±32.5 minutes in TVD group. In non-<br />TVD group mean cross clamp time was 58.63 ±24.46 minutes and bypass time<br />was 93.40 ±30.11 minutes (p values were 0.07 and 0.44 respectively). Only 1<br />(3.1%) case was noted in TVD group with moderate tricuspid regurgitation and<br />4 (2.0%) cases were noted in non-TVD group. One (3.1%) case was noted with<br />residual VSD in TVD group while 7 (3.4%) were noted in non-TVD group.<br />Conclusion: In our study difference in outcomes did not come up to a statically<br />significant difference but it showed low incidence of tricuspid regurgitation and<br />residual VSD in TVD group.}, number={3}, journal={Journal of Postgraduate Medical Institute}, author={Riaz, Muhammad Usman and Waqar, Tariq and Ahmad Raza Baig, Mirza}, year={2017}, month={Aug.} }
