TTVR with a Sapien 3 valve resolves severe bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis in a case report.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report describes the successful use of an Edwards Sapien 3 valve for transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement in a patient with severe bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis.
Adds single-case data to sparse transcatheter tricuspid options; leaves open need for prospective evaluation before adoption.
A few case reports and case series have documented the outcomes in patients with tricuspid bioprosthetic valvular degeneration who underwent transcatheter implantation of the Medtronic Melody and the Edwards Sapien XT and Sapien 3 valves. In this report, we describe the case of a 49-year-old woman with severe bioprosthetic tricuspid valvular stenosis and multiple comorbidities who underwent transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with a Sapien 3 valve.

Loyalka et al. (2017) conducted a case report in severe bioprosthetic tricuspid valvular stenosis (n=1). Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with a Sapien 3 valve was evaluated. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement with a Sapien 3 valve was described in a 49-year-old woman with severe bioprosthetic tricuspid valvular stenosis.
