    AbstractWe describe tricuspid valve repair using papillary muscle shortening for severe tricuspid regurgitation due to leaflet prolapse in children combined with De Vega annuloplasty. The papillary muscle was shortened until the prolapsed leaflet was at the same height as the other nonprolapsed leaflets. Although echocardiographic tricuspid regurgitation tends to increase over time, it rarely requires long-term intervention.
