Abstract
A 77-year-old female patient was referred to our department with dyspnoea, peripheral oedema and a history of right heart failure. Echocardiography revealed torrential tricuspid regurgitation. Since tricuspid-transcatheter edge-to-edge repair was not feasible and the patient refused open heart surgery, heart team decision was made to perform transcatheter tricuspid valve implantation in a borderline annulus dimension. During the procedure, migration of the valve in the right ventricle occurred. After patients' consent was obtained surgical explantation of the valve with subsequent surgical tricuspid valve replacement was performed. Postoperative course was complicated by pneumonia, pleural effusion and right heart and respiratory failure. The patient was discharged home on postoperative day 19 in good clinical condition.
期刊介绍：
The primary aim of the European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery is to provide a medium for the publication of high-quality original scientific reports documenting progress in cardiac and thoracic surgery. The journal publishes reports of significant clinical and experimental advances related to surgery of the heart, the great vessels and the chest. The European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery is an international journal and accepts submissions from all regions. The journal is supported by a number of leading European societies.
