Reversible Tricuspid Stenosis

We report a case of pseudotricuspid stenosis as a result of extrinsic compression of the tricuspid valve by a large right-sided pericardial effusion. Two-dimensional echocardiography and continuous-wave Doppler enabled accurate noninvasive diagnosis and hemodynamic assessment. (Chest 1991; 100:852-5...
