Making the complex simple: bicaval valve implantation as a rescue strategy

01 Jun 2026

An 80-year-old woman was referred for persistent right heart failure despite previous surgical mitral repair and subsequent transcatheter tricuspid intervention. Over time, she developed progressive symptoms with recurrent severe tricuspid regurgitation, refractory to optimised medical therapy.

Multimodality imaging confirmed significant right-sided chamber dilatation and complex valve anatomy,...

Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement in carcinoid heart disease: A multimodality‑guided, patient-centered approach

17 Apr 2026

A 74-year-old woman with carcinoid syndrome develops progressive NYHA III dyspnoea and marked fatigue, despite well-controlled systemic symptoms. Echocardiography reveals torrential tricuspid regurgitation with carcinoid valve involvement, while surgical risk is deemed high due to age, frailty, and systemic disease. How would your Heart Team approach this...
