Description
Matteo Biroli and co-authors present a 2026 case report on fixing a failed vein valve implant with a true valve replacement. A 70-year-old woman with severe tricuspid leakage had earlier received valves placed in her large veins, a fallback when repair is impossible. She returned with right-sided heart failure as the lower vein valve wore out.
Detailed imaging confirmed the leak and the worn implant, and showed her anatomy fit a catheter-delivered valve at the natural position. The Evoque replacement sealed the leak fully and unloaded the old implant. The authors highlight imaging-guided replacement as a complete fix even after earlier devices.
