Tricuspid infective endocarditis is rare. Usually occurs associated with the use of drugs or invasive procedures such as hemodialysis, catheters, and pacemakers. Severe injuries may required surgical treatment with complete tricuspid resection with or without immediate replacement. Two cases are reported, both without valve replacement for over 15 and 20 years, respectively, they had later symptoms of heart failure. Volume overload masked the ventricular dysfunction. Determining the strain was important for early detection of ventricular dysfunction. Tricuspid resection without replacement can be used on a temporary basis, being recommended the prosthetic implant as early as possible, to preserve ventricular function.
