Summary

Here, we describe a case of a successful percutaneous insertion of a transcatheter 29 mm Edwards Sapien XT valve into a tricuspid valve in a patient with repaired tetralogy of fallot.

Similar procedures have been performed with the Edwards Sapien valve and Melody valves; however, this is the first case described in the literature of an Edwards Sapien valve used in a patient with Tetralogy of Fallot.

With procedural safety being demonstrated, this case illustrates an important alternative treatment option for patients with congenital heart disease. Although long-term data is required to compare its efficacy with surgically replaced valves, percutaneous procedures can serve as a delay to surgical valve replacement which over a patients’ lifetime with congenital heart disease, can minimise the amount of invasive surgeries and potential complications.
