[Emergency valvuloplasty with a balloon catheter of a tricuspid bioprosthesis in Ebstein's anomaly].
A case of severe stenosis of a tricuspid bioprosthesis was successfully dilated in a 13 year old young male with Ebstein's anomaly. The patient had congestive heart failure and developed cardiogenic shock; angiography revealed absence of emptying of the right atrium. Multiple size balloons (#4 to 23) were sequentially introduced with successful bioprosthesis dilation and shock resolution. Tricuspid bioprosthesis can be dilated even in critical conditions and, although a palliative procedure, balloon valvuloplasty can be a lifesaving procedure in patients with cardiogenic shock.
