Acute Afterload Mismatch After Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Repair
Daniel Hagemeyer, Anas Merdad, Géraldine Ong, Neil Fam
Abstract
Acute afterload mismatch and left ventricular dysfunction after mitral valve repair are well established. The impact of transcatheter tricuspid valve repair (TTVr) on right ventricular (RV) function is less clearly defined. To our knowledge, there are no reports of acute RV dysfunction after TTVr. Here we report a case of acute afterload mismatch after successful TTVr. (Level of Difficulty: Advanced.)
