Key result
Simultaneous percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary and tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation was successfully performed in a high-risk patient with failing bioprostheses.
Case Report (n=1)
Simultaneous transcatheter pulmonary and tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation is a feasible approach for high-risk patients with failing bioprostheses.
We report a case of a patient with a history of bioprosthetic pulmonary and tricuspid valve replacement who developed significant stenosis and regurgitation of the bioprosthetic valves. Due to multiple comorbidities, he was deemed high risk for redo-valve replacement surgery. He subsequently underwent percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary and tricuspid valve-in-valve procedure at the same setting. This is the first of such that is reported in the literature.

Baig et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Failing bioprosthetic pulmonary and tricuspid valves (n=1). Simultaneous transcatheter pulmonary and tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation was evaluated. Simultaneous percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary and tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation was successfully performed in a high-risk patient with failing bioprostheses.
