Tricritical point

A tricritical point is a point in a phase diagram where a line of continuous (second-order) phase transitions meets a line of first-order transitions, so three critical lines meet.

TRICS-9 trial

TRICS-9 (NCT04400981) is an Italian phase II randomized trial of remote ischemic conditioning, four 5-minute blood pressure cuff inflation cycles on the non-paretic arm, for acute ischemic stroke within 9 hours in patients ineligible for thrombolysis or thrombectomy.

Tricuspid atresia

Tricuspid atresia is a critical congenital heart defect in which the tricuspid valve never forms, blocking right atrial to right ventricular flow. Treated with staged palliation ending in the Fontan procedure; about 1 in 12,500 US births.

Tricuspid regurgitation

Tricuspid regurgitation, also known as tricuspid insufficiency, is a right-sided heart valve disease in which the tricuspid valve fails to close fully, letting blood leak backward.

Tricuspid valve

Tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve): heart valve between right atrium and right ventricle with three leaflets, chordae tendineae, and the largest cardiac orifice (7-9 cm2); main disease is tricuspid regurgitation, treated by diuretics, surgery, or transcatheter repair/replacement.

Tricuspid valve replacement

Tricuspid valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure in which a diseased tricuspid valve is replaced with a prosthetic valve, used only when repair is not feasible or has failed.

Tricuspid valve rupture

Tricuspid valve rupture: traumatic tearing of the right heart valve's chordae, papillary muscles, or leaflets after blunt chest trauma, usually motor vehicle accidents; often diagnosed years later, treated by valve repair or replacement.

Tricuspid valve stenosis

Tricyclohexylphosphine

Tricyclohexylphosphine (PCy3, C18H33P) is a white, air-sensitive crystalline phosphine whose bulky, strongly electron-donating ligand properties make it key to the first-generation Grubbs olefin-metathesis catalyst and Crabtree's hydrogenation catalyst.
