STENOSIS OF A BIOPROSTHETIC TRICUSPID VALVE Dimitrios Maragiannis, M.D.; Shaun Smithson, M.D.; Mojgan Amrikachi, M.D.; Gerald Lawrie, M.D.; Stephen H. Little, M.D.; Su Min Chang, M.D. Houston Methodist DeBakey Heart & Vascular Center, Houston Methodist Hospital, Houston, Texas
A 41-year-old female with tricuspid valve replacement presented to the Houston Methodist Hospital with dyspnea. (A) Spectral Doppler by transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) revealed high velocity with rounded contour. (B) Three-dimensional (3D) transesophageal (TEE) image of the prosthesis during diastole.
64
(C) 64-multislice cardiac computed tomography demonstrated a degenerative prosthetic tricuspid valve with severely thickened and calcified leaflets. (D) Anatomic orifice area calculated by planimetry was found to be 1 cm2 (green perimeter trace). (E) Excised valve showing the extent of valve degeneration.
