Percutaneous Transcatheter Valve-in-Valve Pulmonary and Tricuspid Replacement in Carcinoid Heart Disease

Suvitesh Luthra et al. JACC Case Rep. .

Abstract

Surgical valve replacement is the most effective treatment for carcinoid heart disease; however, reoperation for prosthetic valve failure is burdened by high risk. We report the first described percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary and tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement for bioprosthesis degeneration for any reason in a patient with carcinoid heart disease. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: ViV, transcatheter valve-in-valve; carcinoid heart disease; prosthetic degeneration; transcatheter valve in valve.
