RESUMEN
Congenital tricuspid valve stenosis is extremely rare. We describe 2 cases of patients with adult congenital heart disease with hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus who were symptomatic from annular- and leaflet-level tricuspid stenosis. The patients underwent transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty with good clinical outcomes. An extensive literature review and analysis of various procedural strategies suggests that percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty may be a reasonable therapeutic choice as a first-line therapy or when open surgical repair is associated with prohibitively high mortality. This procedure can be performed either as a destination therapy or as a bridge to valve replacement.

BACKGROUND: We sought to describe invasive hemodynamic measurements in patients with tricuspid stenosis (TS) undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve (TVIV) implantation immediately pre- and postimplantation. Development of TS in patients who have undergone surgical tricuspid valve replacement with a bioprosthetic valve is a serious complication that leads to elevated right atrial (RA) pressures and decreased cardiac output. Transcatheter TVIV implantation is a viable alternative to surgical tricuspid valve replacement, but data on the hemodynamic consequences of TVIV for the treatment of severe TS are currently limited to echocardiographic assessment of Doppler-derived gradients. METHODS: Eleven patients undergoing transcatheter TVIV implantation with moderate to severe bioprosthetic valve stenosis were selected for retrospective review. Right atrial mean pressure, right ventricular (RV) systolic and end-diastolic pressure, mean diastolic RA-RV pressure gradient, pulmonary artery capillary wedge pressure, pulmonary artery systolic, end-diastolic and mean pressures, and pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) both before and after transcatheter valve placement were collected from catheterization reports. RESULTS: After transcatheter TVIV implantation, the mean TS gradient decreased significantly (P < .01), while the mean RV end-diastolic pressure increased (P = .046). Pulmonary artery pulsatility index also increased as the TS was relieved (P = .039). CONCLUSIONS: Tricuspid valve-in-valve implantation results in immediate relief of TS, leading to increased RV preload with resultant augmentation of RV and pulmonary pressures. Increased PAPi following the procedure demonstrates acute improvement in RV output but remains low due to the failure of the RA pressure to decline significantly immediately following intervention.

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.

Tricuspid valve disease, and particularly tricuspid regurgitation, is a highly prevalent condition with a complex pathophysiology and long-term adverse consequences. Although historically neglected, tricuspid valve disease has gained increasing recognition, with important advances in the assessment and management of this disorder over the past 2 decades. Surgical treatment remains the standard of care, but it continues to have one of the the highest death rates among all cardiac valve-related procedures, and a broad range of patients still do not receive effective therapy for tricuspid valve disease in contemporary clinical practice. Therefore, several alternative, less-invasive technologies for treating patients with severe, native tricuspid valve disease at high surgical risk have been developed in the past decade, with promising early results. This Review summarizes key findings and highlights the latest developments in the diagnosis and management framework that are transforming clinical practice in the complex field of tricuspid valve disease.

BACKGROUND: Although flexible-ring annuloplasty is more inclined to increase the transmitral gradient over time, its effect on the tricuspid annulus is unknown. This study was conducted to evaluate serial changes in mean pressure gradient (mPG) across tricuspid and mitral valves after simultaneous dual implantation of flexible bands. METHODS: Seventy-one (71) patients (median age, 61.6 years; IQR: 50.8-69.0 years) underwent simultaneous mitral/tricuspid annuloplasties using St. Jude Tailor rings. Serial mPGs across mitral and tricuspid valves were evaluated at three postoperative time points: predischarge, 3 years, and 5 years. To gauge the effects and clinical outcomes of prophylactic intervention, patients were categorised as tricuspid regurgitation (TR)≥moderate or TRAsunto(s)

Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation is established as a valuable option to reconstruct failing right ventricular outflow tract function. Percutaneous tricuspid valve-in-valve or valve-in-ring reconstruction is even applied with increasing acceptance. A 46-year-old woman with a diagnosis of carcinoid-dependent right heart failure underwent surgical bioprosthetic tricuspid and pulmonary valve replacement. Almost 1 year later, she presented again with markedly dilatated and reduced right heart function caused by degeneration of both biologic valves. We report a successful two-stage percutaneous transcatheter double-valve replacement with the use of a Melody valve in pulmonary and tricuspid positions.

We present two cases of percutaneous Sapien XT valve-in-valve implantation in the tricuspid position: a 20-year-old man with severe congenital pulmonary stenosis and percutaneous valvuloplasty, who required surgical implantation of two protheses, pulmonary and tricuspid, and a 12-year-old boy with CHD and a degenerated tricuspid prosthesis. We implanted three Sapien XT valve-in-valves, two in the tricuspid position and one in the pulmonic position. Sapien XT valve-in-valve implantation in the tricuspid position is feasible and can decrease the number of surgeries in CHD patients.

La congestión venosa sistémica ha cobrado mucha importancia en la interpretación de la fisiopatología de la insuficiencia cardíaca aguda, y muy especialmente en el desarrollo del deterioro de la función renal durante las agudizaciones. En el presente trabajo se revisa el concepto, la caracterización clínica y la identificación de la congestión venosa. Se actualiza el conocimiento sobre su importancia en la fisiopatología de la insuficiencia cardíaca aguda y su implicación en el pronóstico. Se presta especial atención a la relación entre la congestión abdominal, el intersticio pulmonar como membrana filtrante, los fenómenos inflamatorios y el deterioro de la función renal en la insuficiencia cardíaca aguda. Por último, se revisa la descongestión como un novedoso objetivo terapéutico y los medios disponibles para su evaluación (AU)
Systemic venous congestion has gained significant importance in the interpretation of the pathophysiology of acute heart failure, especially in the development of renal function impairment during exacerbations. In this study, we review the concept, clinical characterisation and identification of venous congestion. We update current knowledge on its importance in the pathophysiology of acute heart failure and its involvement in the prognosis. We pay special attention to the relationship between abdominal congestion, the pulmonary interstitium as filtering membrane, inflammatory phenomena and renal function impairment in acute heart failure. Lastly, we review decongestion as a new therapeutic objective and the measures available for its assessment (AU)

Tricuspid stenosis (TS) is an uncommon complication of ventricular pacemaker implantation. Mechanisms described by the literature are ventricular inflow obstruction by tricuspid vegetations (endocarditis) or multiple pacemaker leads and fibrosis secondary to mechanical trauma, accounting for perforation or laceration of the TV leaflets, or adherence between redundant loops and valve tissue. We present the case of iatrogenic tricuspid stenosis, observed in a 77-year-old man. Extrinsic tricuspid valve stenosis was detected by transthoracic echocardiography. Further investigations confirmed the intramyocardial lead position. Tricuspid valve stenosis due to transvenous leads are reported to be treated by surgical replacement, surgical valvuloplasty, or percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty.

Parachute valve is the malformation of an atrioventricular valve in which the tension apparatus springs from a single papillary muscle or group of muscles. Parachute tricuspid valve is a rare anomaly with no surgically repaired case to date. We describe a case of parachute deformity of the tricuspid valve leading to hemodynamically significant severe tricuspid stenosis. The present case was successfully repaired surgically along with atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) closure.

Placement of an endocardial VDD pacing lead in small dogs (<12 kg) may necessitate a redundant lead remaining looped in the right atrium for appropriate sensing and pacing. This report documented acquired tricuspid valve stenosis in two small dogs between 8 months and 4 years after VDD pacemaker placement for third-degree atrioventricular block. Echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography identified elevated transtricuspid flow velocities, prolonged pressure half-times, decreased valve leaflet excursions, and tricuspid regurgitation in both cases. Both cases were euthanized secondary to this pacing complication. Necropsy was performed in one case and confirmed adherence between the redundant lead loop, atrial and valve tissue. While VDD pacing in dogs has proven hemodynamic benefits, these benefits have not been demonstrated in terms of survival benefit or clinical signs. The requirement of redundant lead placement in small dogs for appropriate VDD lead function creates potential deleterious effects that should be weighed against the possible clinical value of VDD pacing in these patients.

The percutaneous Melody valve is occasionally used for the treatment of bioprosthetic valve dysfunction and is an attractive option for patients at high risk for repeat operation. Anticoagulation is not routinely recommended following Melody valve placement. We present the case of a young woman who developed subacute spontaneous thrombosis of her Melody valve 15 months after placement. Her clinical status was compromised by severe tricuspid prosthesis stenosis and right-to-left shunting across a small residual atrial septal defect. Surgical replacement was required. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of spontaneous thrombosis of a Melody valve in the tricuspid position.
