Severe tricuspid valve (TV) dysfunction may lead to surgical TV replacement with a biological valve prosthesis in patients with congenital heart disease. To expand the lifetime of this valve and reduce the number of surgeries, percutaneous TV implantation (PTVI) may be an effective alternative to repeated surgery. We report on our 2-center experience with PTVI.
