Proc (Bayl Univ Med Cent). 2015 Oct;28(4):502-3. doi: 10.1080/08998280.2015.11929323.

Abstract

A 67-year-old man underwent percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis. He had undergone two tricuspid valve replacements over a period of 39 years and became symptomatic. After the valvuloplasty, his symptoms were resolved. Stenosis of a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve can be successfully and safely treated with balloon valvuloplasty.
