I had a tricuspid replacement and was extremely pleased with the results. The entire cardiac team visited me frequently before the procedure, told me exactly what was going to be done and it was carried out exactly as described.I couldn’t have had a better outcome.Thanks to Dr Caranasos and the entire team at UNC
