Transcatheter valve-in-ring and para-ring vascular plug implantation for severe tricuspid regurgitation following annuloplasty ring failure: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Moderate or severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) recurs in up to one-third of patients within 8 years of surgical annuloplasty repair. Reoperation often carries high risk with poor outcomes. Transcatheter valve-in-ring repair is an emerging alternative treatment. However, residual regurgitation is frequent and may necessitate further procedures.

Case summary

A 52-year-old female was diagnosed with severe rheumatic valvular heart disease. The patient underwent mechanical aortic and mitral valve replacement. Additionally, tricuspid repair was performed using a semi-rigid annuloplasty ring (28 mm Edwards Physio Tricuspid). Within 2 years, the patient developed recurrent, isolated severe symptomatic TR, with progressive right ventricular dilatation. The patient was con
