Diaphragmatic Paralysis After Heterotopic Bicaval Stenting.

ABSTRACT: Heterotopic bicaval stenting offers an alternative therapeutic approach for indirectly addressing the systemic effects of tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with severe symptomatic TR, despite optimal medical therapy. In this report, we describe 2 cases of procedure-related unilateral diaphragmatic paralysis, a clinically important complication not previously documented in the literature.
