Hybrid transcatheter tricuspid valve ‐in‐valve placement of an Edwards Sapien XT valve in palliated hypoplastic left heart syndrome

We report successful hybrid trans ‐atrial implantation of an Edwards Sapien XT valve into a dysfunctional bioprosthetic valve in the tricuspid position of a 9‐year‐old patient with HLHS. There was an immediate fall in the Fontan pressures combined with significant clinical improvement and the valve continues to function well n early 3 years post implant. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first described implantation of a transcatheter valve in this specific position and anatomy.
