Severe bioprosthetic tricuspid valve stenosis with systolic antegrade flow across the tricuspid valve.
We report the anatomic and hemodynamic details of severe stenosis of a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve studied by transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography. This patient also had antegrade systolic flow across the tricuspid valve due to a combination of severe tricuspid valve stenosis and poor right ventricular systolic function.
