Abstract
Surgical valvuloplasty is not always possible in pediatric patients. Transcatheter “valve-in-valve” and “valve-in-ring” implantations have become common approaches for patients with failed biopros- thetic valves or dysfunctional annuloplasty rings. We present a case of percutaneous Melody valve implantation into a native, previously unreconstructed tricuspid valve. A key feature of this case was the presence of a mechanical valve prosthesis in the mitral position, whose rigid support ring provided stabilization to the fibrous annulus during the implantation of the endovascular valve into the tricuspid position, facilitating stable device positioning.
