ABSTRACT
A 60 year-old female underwent tricuspid valve replacement in 2002. Post-operative recovery was complicated by severe post-pericardiotomy-syndrome. Seven years later she underwent transcatheter valve-in-valve implantation through the right jugular vein because of early prosthesis deterioration. Moreover intra-operative transoesophageal echocardiography showed an important right-to-left shunt through the patent foramen ovale that immediately disappeared after the deployment of a 29-mm Sapien-XT. The patient had an immediate and dramatic improvement in day-by-day activities. This case shows that tricuspid valve deterioration can be safely and successfully treated through this approach.
