Transvenous valve-in-valve implantation of the tricuspid valve was performed after protecting a transvalvular defibrillator lead with a custom-made covered stent.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report demonstrates a novel technique to perform tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement without removing an existing transvalvular defibrillator lead by using a custom-made covered stent.

May enable lead preservation in tricuspid ViV; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before broader use.
Meester et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Tricuspid valve stenosis with a transvalvular shock-lead (n=1). Transvenous valve-in-valve implantation of the tricuspid valve with lead protection using a custom-made covered stent was evaluated on Technical issues, clinical outcome, and evolution of lead function. Transvenous valve-in-valve implantation of the tricuspid valve was performed after protecting a transvalvular defibrillator lead with a custom-made covered stent.
