Transatrial Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve-in-Valve Implantation of Balloon Expandable Bioprosthesis

Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Implantation: A Systematic Review of Literature

“…Only a few publications exist for degenerated tricuspid bioprostheses. Implantation via the transjugular, [21,22] trans-atrial, [23] and transfemoral [24] access routes has been reported.…”

Valve-in-Valve Therapy for Failed Surgical Bioprosthetic Valves

“…14, [26][27][28][29] Tricuspid Valve in Valve Tricuspid VIV can be performed via a direct right atrial puncture through the fourth intercostal space, via the transjugular route or via transfemoral access. [30][31][32][33][34][35] Both the ESV and Melody valves have been used in this position and there have been approximately 30 cases worldwide, including a case series of 15 patients implanted with the Melody valve. 10 The first such report was by Hon and colleagues 30 in Canada, where a 48-year-old woman with carcinoid underwent VIV in the tricuspid position within a stenotic size 27 mm Mosaic bioprosthesis.…”

Transjugular Tricuspid Valve-in-Valve Replacement

“…This has led to a number of valve-invalve implants, mostly in the aortic position. 1 The first case of transcatheter valve-in-valve tricuspid valve replacement was described by Hon et al 2 Their approach was, however, via a thoracotomy and direct puncture of the right atrium. This has definite advantages with regard to delivery of the device, but remains more invasive.…”
