Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation in Carcinoid Heart Disease

Michele Flagiello et al. Cardiovasc Revasc Med. 2022 Jul.

Abstract

Carcinoid heart disease is a rare condition affecting mostly tricuspid and pulmonary valves causing right-sided heart failure. Surgical valve replacement is the mainstay of treatment when patients become symptomatic and/or in the presence of right heart remodeling. We present a case of severe pulmonary valve regurgitation secondary to carcinoid heart disease occurring 4 years after a surgical tricuspid replacement, successfully treated with direct transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation without pre-stenting.

Keywords: Carcinoid heart desease; Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation.
