Abstract:
A patient with history of orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) followed by tricuspid valve replacement and two subsequent balloon valvuloplasties was offered transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) to avoid what would have been his fourth sternotomy. TTVR in patients with OHT can be a valuable approach to prevent further open-heart surgeries, which carry added morbidity and mortality.
