Percutaneous Valvuloplasty for Bioprosthetic Tricuspid Valve Stenosis

Abstract: Percutaneous transcatheter tricuspid balloon valvuloplasty (PTTBV) is an accepted treatment option for symptomatic severe native tricuspid valve stenosis, although surgical tricuspid valve replacement remains the treatment of choice. There have been few reports of successful PTTBV for bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis. We present case reports of 3 patients from our hospital experience. Two of the 3 cases were successful, with lasting clinical improvement, whereas the 3rd patient failed to show a reduction… Show more

“…In agreement with the available data. 22 , 23 we established that PTMC produced a noteworthy increase in the Mitral Valve Area with a significant splitting of both mitral commissures. The hemodynamic results of PTMC in our study are comparable to several other studies, in which there was a reduction in the trans-mitral pressure gradient average 18 to 6 mm Hg, and also had an average increase in the mitral valve area, from 1 to 2 cm.…”

“…Edwards SAPIEN valve-in-valve implantation has been utilized for degenerative bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis in patients for whom the original indication for tricuspid valve replacement was rheumatic heart disease, 8 , 9 or infective endocarditis. 10 , 11 Similar to percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis, 12 transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation was an inferior therapeutic alternative acceptable only because it avoided the high-surgical risk associated with redo-surgical tricuspid valve replacement.…”
