Description
Connor P Craig and co-authors told in 2026 of a first-ever catheter valve swap, placed in its normal spot, for a man with a heart pump. Marked tricuspid leakage is common after assist device placement. It raises death risk. Yet surgical tricuspid work has not consistently shown gain.
A 46-year-old man with medically refractory severe leakage and right ventricular failure after assist device placement got the Evoque transcatheter valve system. The procedure proved technically feasible. It eased symptoms and cut need for chronic inotropic backing. As the first report of this valve system in an assist device patient, the case opens a less invasive option for a group with few good alternatives.
