title: Transatrial transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-valve technique.
abstract: A novel approach to reoperative tricuspid valve replacement using the transcatheter valve-in-valve concept is studied. Three consecutive transapica transcatheter tricuspid Sapien balloon-expandable valve-in-valve cases, including the first-in-man case, are described. The technical lessons learnt and the clinical outcomes are elaborated.
