Abstract

After the popularization of transcatheter aortic valve-in-valve replacement, mitral valve-in-valve is being increasingly performed for failing bioprostheses or annuloplasty rings. In the tricuspid position, despite smaller experience, valve-in-valve is also becoming an alternative to high-risk redo tricuspid surgery. We report the case of a patient with 2 failing mitral and tricuspid bioprostheses who was successfully treated with simultaneous transapical mitral and percutaneous transjugular tricuspid transcatheter valve-in-valve replacements.
