Abstract

Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve replacement via right internal jugular is safe and feasible for failed bioprosthetic valve implantation. Challenging aspects include stiff wire advancement into the pulmonary artery for rail establishment and multiple push-pull manipulations for balloon and valve advancement.

Keywords: bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis; transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement.
