The tricuspid valve can be affected in left‐sided infective endocarditis. We present a new technique to repair anteroseptal tricuspid valve commissure. It was employed in a patient with left‐sided infective endocarditis with intervalvular fibrous body abscess. A sliding plasty of septal and posterior leaflets was performed, reaching the anteroseptal commissure with the aid of De‐Vega like annuloplasty.
