Patients were categorized into three groups based on admission periods: pre-pandemic (January 2019 to March 31, 2020), pandemic (April 1, 2020 to September 30, 2022), and post-pandemic (October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023).</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>There were no significant differences in the proportion of patients under 45 years old among total coronary care unit admissions across the three periods (12.9% vs 11.0% vs. 11.8%, respectively; P = 0.134). Similarly, although a slight increase was observed in the proportion of myocarditis cases relative to ACS over time, the difference was not statistically significant (29.9% vs. 70.1%, 32.0% vs. 68.0%, and 34.2% vs. 65.8%, respectively; P = 0.600).

Due to the high risk associated with reoperation, the percutaneous valve-in-valve (ViV) approach is preferred for patients with bioprosthetic degeneration following tricuspid valve replacement. However, the procedure can be challenging when the implanted bioprosthetic valve is not radio-opaque. We present three cases performed at our hospital, detailing a step-by-step approach and alignment techniques when the valve is not visible on fluoroscopy. All patients were admitted with right heart failure and demonstrated severe dysfunction of their tricuspid bioprosthetic valves. In the first case, the bioprosthetic valve was clearly visible on fluoroscopy, which facilitated the alignment process. In the other two cases, the valves were not visible. Predilation was performed, and the resulting indentation line served as a reference. Echocardiographic (ECHO) imaging, along with right atrial and ventricular angiograms, was used to guide the alignment of the balloon-expandable valve. The ViV procedure was successful in all three cases. The transcatheter ViV approach appears to be an effective treatment option for patients with tricuspid bioprosthetic valve degeneration. In cases where the valve is not radio-opaque, the procedure can be safely performed by using the indentation point from balloon dilatation, right ventricular and atrial angiography, and transthoracic or transesophageal echocardiography to guide valve alignment.</p>","PeriodicalId":94261,"journal":{"name":"Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi : Turk Kardiyoloji Derneginin yayin organidir","volume":"53 4","pages":"286-290"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144210650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
