Transcatheter valve‐in‐valve and valve‐in‐ring implantation has become a common approach to treating patients with failed bioprosthetic tricuspid valves as well as failed surgical repairs of the tricuspid valve where an annuloplasty ring has been utilized. We describe a case where a Melody valve was percutaneously implanted in a native tricuspid valve with severe stenosis following surgical repair without a supporting annuloplasty ring.
