  abstract = 	{Objectives: Long-term data on isolated surgical tricuspid valve procedures is limited. Current guidelines on heart valve disease recommend valve repair over valve replacement. In this study we report our 12-year single-center experience with isolated surgical tricuspid valve repair in patients with various tricuspid valve pathologies. Methods: Between May 2007 and December 2019, 26 consecutive patients underwent isolated tricuspid valve annuloplasty/repair for various indications. In 18 patients (69.2{\%}) an open ring or band annuloplasty (26.9 and 42.3{\%}, respectively) was performed, 5 patients (19.2{\%}) underwent a tightening of the annulus using the DeVega technique, 5 patients (19.2{\%}) had a leaflet reconstruction with patch or bicuspidalization and in 3 patients (11.5{\%}) a leaflet debridement was performed. In 15.4{\%} of the cohort a combination of the techniques was utilized. Results: The mean follow-up time was 2.1 (0.3--5.0) years. Early survival at 30{\thinspace}days after surgery was 84.6{\%}. Mean hospital stay was 11 (6.7--16) days. One-year survival was 73{\%}. No patient required a redo procedure on the tricuspid valve during follow-up. Conclusion: Tricuspid valve repair is suggested as a treatment of choice according to recent guidelines on heart valve disease. If chosen correctly, various repair techniques provide good long-term results. Tricuspid valve repair may be safely applied in patients undergoing surgical isolated tricuspid valve procedures.},
