We report a successful percutaneous revalvulation of a dysfunctional tricuspid bioprothesis in an 8‐year‐old child. Five years after implanting a 25‐mm Carpentier‐Edwards valve in the tricuspid position, the prosthesis showed significant dysfunction with clinical right heart failure. A 26‐mm Edwards‐Sapien XT inverted aortic valve was successfully implanted through a 19F sheath using a jugular approach. Such procedure can significantly postpone the need for surgical replacement of a biological valve. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
