title: [Percutaneous valvuloplasty in tricuspid valve stenosis].
abstract: This report describes the first successful case of tricuspid valve stenosis by percutaneous double balloon valvuloplasty in Mexico. The gradient decreased from 5 to 0 mmHg, with an increase in valve area by echocardiography and improvement of the jugular vein pulse and disappearance of symptoms. The feasibility of the balloon percutaneous valvuloplasty was demonstrated unequivocally.
