Tough Crossing: A Challenging Case of Valve-in-Valve Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement.

ABSTRACT: Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement is a feasible treatment alternative in high-risk patients with degenerated tricuspid prosthesis. Either transjugular or transfemoral approaches are feasible, with the latter being used more commonly. We describe a challenging case of valve-in-valve transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement where we used a long sheath positioned in the right ventricular outflow tract to deliver the transcatheter heart valve.
