Résumé
Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is the most frequent valvular complication after heart transplantation with different clinical sequelae. In its most severe form, it can cause right heart failure with a poor long-term prognosis. Its management is complex, both medical, surgical, and percutaneous. The TricValve system, a bicaval system with two self-expanding valves (superior vena cava and inferior vena cava), dedicated to treating symptomatic IT refractory to medical therapy, is safe and effective in improving quality of life. We present the first heart transplant patient with severe symptomatic TR who underwent successful bicaval valve (TricValve) implantation.
