Heterotopic Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Replacement in Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation and Refractory Right Heart Failure.

ABSTRACT: Torrential tricuspid regurgitation may lead to heart failure and poor survival and quality of life. Heterotopic transcatheter tricuspid replacement is increasingly offered to patients unsuitable for direct valve repair or replacement. We describe 1 patient treated by transcatheter implantation of 2 self-expanding valves in the venae cavae with a multimodality imaging approach. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).
