Edwards valve-in-valve implantation in tricuspid position

Cardiol Young. 2017 Oct;27(8):1633-1636. doi: 10.1017/S1047951117000786. Epub 2017 May 16.

Abstract

We present two cases of percutaneous Sapien XT valve-in-valve implantation in the tricuspid position: a 20-year-old man with severe congenital pulmonary stenosis and percutaneous valvuloplasty, who required surgical implantation of two protheses, pulmonary and tricuspid, and a 12-year-old boy with CHD and a degenerated tricuspid prosthesis. We implanted three Sapien XT valve-in-valves, two in the tricuspid position and one in the pulmonic position. Sapien XT valve-in-valve implantation in the tricuspid position is feasible and can decrease the number of surgeries in CHD patients.

Keywords: CHD; percutaneous valve implantation; pulmonary valve disease; tricuspid valve disease.
