Preoperative transesophageal echocardiography. We see the fixed annulus of the tricuspid valve due to fibrosis from previous correction and the to-and-fro flow across the valve (mixed valvular disease). The regurgitant component was the main hemodynamic reason of the child's protein losing enteropathy. Video available at: https://www.jtcvs.org/article/S2666-2507(20)30704-5/fulltext.

Transesophageal echocardiography at postoperative 16 months' follow-up. The SAPIEN 3 valve located in tricuspid position without obstructing the flow of the right ventricular outflow tract or compressing the left ventricular outflow tract. The function of SAPIEN 3 was normal, with no stenosis or regurgitation. Mild turbulence is noted in the inflow, inducing a mean transvalvular gradient of 3 mm Hg.
