We report a 75-year-old female with a history of two heart operations: aortic valve replacement (St. Jude Medical 21 mm) at the age of 44 years for severe rheumatic aortic stenosis and mitral valve replacement (Carbomedics 29 mm) at the age of 51 years for rheumatic mitral regurgitation. Decades later, she presented with exertional dyspnea.

Background: It remains unclear what proportion of patients with tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are suitable candidates for transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) in clinical practice.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to ascertain the prevalence of eligibility for tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) and transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) devices among patients with TR.
Methods: The tricuspid valve anatomy of all consecutive patients with TR who were considered for TTVI in local heart team conferences was retrospectively reviewed.

Current evidence indicates that dual antiplatelet therapy with aspirin plus a P2Y inhibitor is essential for the prevention of thrombotic events after percutaneous coronary interventions. However, dual antiplatelet therapy is associated with increased bleeding which may outweigh the benefits. This has set the foundations for customizing antiplatelet treatments to the individual patient.

This novel case documents the successful use of transcatheter aortic valve implantation to treat severe aortic insufficiency arising from aortic root dissection following the repair of an ascending aortic aneurysm in a 75-year-old female patient. After she presented with symptoms of congestive heart failure, investigation revealed new severe aortic insufficiency and an acute aortic dissection. Given the prohibitive risks of reoperation, a self-expanding 27-mm Portico (St Jude Medical) prosthetic aortic valve was deployed, resulting in substantial clinical improvement without procedural complications.
