Abstract

Current transcatheter tricuspid therapies vary by design with different mechanisms of fixation, anchoring, and therapy. This is the first published report of transfemoral tricuspid valve replacement with the Intrepid device, a valve designed to anchor from annular perimeter oversizing, to treat torrential tricuspid regurgitation from leaflet impingement secondary to a ventricular septal defect occluder. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.).

Keywords: transcatheter; transesophageal echocardiography; tricuspid regurgitation; tricuspid valve; ventricular septal defect.
