Alvarez-Fuente, Maria; Haas, Nikolaus A. and Jesus del Cerro, Maria (2017): Edwards valve-in-valve implantation in tricuspid position. In: Cardiology in the Young, Vol. 27, No. 8: pp. 1633-1636

Abstract

We present two cases of percutaneous Sapien XT valve-in-valve implantation in the tricuspid position: a 20-year-old man with severe congenital pulmonary stenosis and percutaneous valvuloplasty, who required surgical implantation of two protheses, pulmonary and tricuspid, and a 12-year-old boy with CHD and a degenerated tricuspid prosthesis. We implanted three Sapien XT valve-in-valves, two in the tricuspid position and one in the pulmonic position. Sapien XT valve-in-valve implantation in the tricuspid position is feasible and can decrease the number of surgeries in CHD patients.
