Successful valve‐in‐valve transcatheter intervention to treat severe stenosis of a 38‐year‐old tricuspid bioprosthesis

Abstract

AbstractA 60‐year‐old man presented with breathlessness. Nearly four decades previously, he had required three operations for Staphylococcus aureus infective endocarditis of the tricuspid valve and had received a bioprosthetic valve. He had critical tricuspid bioprosthesis stenosis which was treated successfully by valve‐in‐valve transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement using a balloon‐expandable transcatheter heart valve. One year after intervention, the patient is well with no tricuspid valve stenosis or regurgitation.
