Description
Stormy Keppel leads a team that reports a catheter-based tricuspid valve replacement guided by ultrasound from inside the heart. An eighty-one-year-old man with carcinoid syndrome, a hormone-secreting tumor state, faced a severe tricuspid leak and cardiogenic shock. Standard throat ultrasound gave too weak a view for safe placement.
The team slid a three-dimensional ultrasound probe through the neck vein instead, which placed the camera beside the valve with nothing in the way. Live views from that route steered the EVOQUE valve into place. The neck route, the authors argue, deserves a place beside standard imaging when throat views fail. Patients too sick for open surgery gain most from such options.
