  • Title: Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation in Carcinoid Heart Disease.
    Author: Flagiello M, Pozzi M, Francois L, Al Harthy A, Forestier J, Boccalini S, Rioufol G, Walter T, Obadia JF.
    Journal: Cardiovasc Revasc Med; 2022 Jul; 40S():130-134. PubMed ID: 35033459.
    Abstract:
    Carcinoid heart disease is a rare condition affecting mostly tricuspid and pulmonary valves causing right-sided heart failure. Surgical valve replacement is the mainstay of treatment when patients become symptomatic and/or in the presence of right heart remodeling. We present a case of severe pulmonary valve regurgitation secondary to carcinoid heart disease occurring 4 years after a surgical tricuspid replacement, successfully treated with direct transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation without pre-stenting.
