Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement for Recurrent Tricuspid Regurgitation After Tricuspid Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is currently unknown whether tricuspid valve replacement with EVOQUE is feasible after tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair.

Case summary

An 81-year-old patient with a complex history of multivalvular heart disease, previously treated with surgical and catheter approaches, presented to our center with symptomatic recurrent tricuspid regurgitation despite maximally tolerated medical therapy and previous tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) with 2 TriClips. A multidisciplinary heart team determined that patient was high-risk for tricuspid surgery due to age, comorbidities, and previous sternotomy. Multimodality imaging revealed no anatomical contraindications for transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR); however, due to the patient'
