title: Effectiveness of balloon valvuloplasty for stenosis of a bioprosthesis in the tricuspid valve position.
abstract: A 67-year-old man underwent percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty for bioprosthetic tricuspid stenosis. He had undergone two tricuspid valve replacements over a period of 39 years and became symptomatic. After the valvuloplasty, his symptoms were resolved. Stenosis of a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve can be successfully and safely treated with balloon valvuloplasty.
