The concomitant large atrial septal defect closure, endocardial biatrial cryoablation and tricuspid valve replacement with mitral homograft in a patient with adult congenital heart disease is presented. Because of the severely dilated right ventricle and leaflet tenting, tricuspid valve replacement was considered. The patient refused both mechanical and stented biological prosthesis due to personal beliefs, therefore, the alternative valve substitute was proposed. Relevant decision-making process, preoperative diagnostic work-up and surgical technique are highlighted with satisfactory outcomes.
