Simultaneous transcatheter dual valve replacement (mitral and tricuspid valves): a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Structural valve dysfunction in bioprosthetic heart valves necessitates redo replacement procedure that are associated with high mortality and morbidity. The transcatheter valve-in-valve (VIV) approach has emerged as a preferred option for patients requiring redo procedures due to structural valve degeneration. We report from India the first case of the simultaneous transcatheter dual VIV implantation (mitral valve and tricuspid valves) in a high-surgical-risk patient.

Case summary

A 57-year-old female was presented with a history of rheumatic heart disease, post-mitral valve as well as tricuspid valve replacement (perimount 33 mm) 11 years back. Bioprosthetic heart valve was chosen probably due to limited life expectancy and compliance issues with monitoring of i
