Abstract:
Tricuspid regurgitation is a frequent condition that is linked to an elevated risk of cardiovascular events and significant mortality but is often overshadowed by left-sided valve diseases. Isolated surgical tricuspid valve surgery is still considered a high-risk surgery, and over recent years, various transcatheter procedures for tricuspid treatment have emerged as an alternative solution. Among the available transcatheter procedures, the EVOQUE system's transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement could potentially offer a solution, especially in patients considered non-eligible for transcatheter edge-to-edge tricuspid valve repair. We present a case report of an octogenarian patient considered at prohibitive risk for conventional surgery and not eligible for transcatheter edge-to-edge repair who was eventually treated with a transfemoral transcatheter tricuspid 52-mm EVOQUE valve implantation. Postprocedural recovery and follow-up at 18 months were uneventful, with a well-functioning tricuspid valve bioprosthesis.
