Transcatheter Intervention for Inoperable Tricuspid Surgical Prosthesis Dysfunction: Minimally Invasive Approach to Mitigate Heart Failure

Abstract

What is the efficacy and safety of transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation for patients with inoperable tricuspid surgical prosthesis dysfunction? Thirty-day mortality after greatly effective transcatheter treatment is 2 times less than the estimated surgical risk.
