Patients with congenitally-corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) commonly develop significant systemic tricuspid valve regurgitation and systemic right ventricular dysfunction in adulthood, both of which presenting a therapeutic dilemma for the care team. Here we describe the case of a 35-year-old male with congenitally-corrected transposition of the great arteries who presented with severe systemic tricuspid valve regurgitation, biventricular systolic failure, and pulmonary hypertension. Due to prohibitive surgical risk, he underwent percutaneous tricuspid valve repair via MitraClip placement.

We describe the impact of a clinic-based intervention on follow-up rates in this high-risk population.

Whereas some cases are cured during childhood, most patients instead undergo palliation, which leaves them at risk for late complications. Lifelong clinical follow-up involving serial multimodality imaging is helpful to monitor and guide the treatment of late complications.
