CardioTwins: case report of a transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve implantation in one patient.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Besides transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER), there are new interventional treatment options for mitral and tricuspid regurgitation in evaluation, such as a complete replacement of the valve through a prosthesis.

Case summary

A 78-year-old previous coronary artery bypass graft-operated patient with symptomatic severe mitral regurgitation and tricuspid regurgitation was sequentially treated by a transfemoral transcatheter mitral and tricuspid valve prosthesis (Cardiovalve; Cardiovalve Ltd, Israel) due to unfavourable mitral valve anatomy. The transcatheter mitral valve implantation (TMVI) was performed first and after progression of the tricuspid regurgitation, a second transcatheter valve prosthesis was implanted in tricuspid position (TTVI) 1.5 years later.
