title: Recurrent miscarriages as an indication for percutaneous tricuspid valvuloplasty during pregnancy.
abstract: Isolated balloon tricuspid valvuloplasty was successfully performed in a pregnant woman with a history of recurrent miscarriages. The course of pregnancy was uneventful, and a healthy baby was delivered. This report highlights the unusual indication for the procedure, which was recurrent miscarriage, and outlines some technical aspects of tricuspid valvuloplasty.
