Abstract
Objective: To describe the effects of percutaneously implanted valve-in-valve in the tricuspid position for patients with pre-existing transvalvular device leads. Methods: In this case series, we describe implantation of the Melody valve and SAPIEN XT valve within dysfunctional bioprosthetic tricuspid valves in three patients with transvalvular device leads. Results: In all cases, the valve was successfully deployed and device lead function remained unchanged. In 1/3 cases with 6-month follow-up, device lead parameters remain unchanged and transcatheter valve-in-valve function remains satisfactory. Conclusions: Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve is feasible in patients with pre-existing transvalvular devices leads. Further study is required to determine the long-term clinical implications of this treatment approach.
