Reports of isolated congenital tricuspid regurgitation are very rare. A 20-year-old female with severe tricuspid regurgitation was reported. The patient was admitted to our hospital with complaints of easy fatigability and palpitation. Right ventriculogram showed severe tricuspid regurgitation. She was treated with tricuspid valve replacement with a 33 mm bioprosthetic valve. Seven surgical treated cases of isolated congenital tricuspid regurgitation including our case were collected from literature and reviewed.
