Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common association of left-sided valvular lesions that is occasionally seen with ischemic heart disease. However, isolated ischemic TR requiring surgical intervention is extremely rare, with very few reported cases. The case is presented of a 59-year-old woman who,

after extensive non-cardiac investigations, was eventually diagnosed with severe functional TR due to chronic myocardial ischemia. The patient underwent successful surgical treatment.
