Abstract
The timing of treatment for patients who develop tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation after undergoing repair of tetralogy of Fallot has been controversial. Accurate treatment guidelines are still lacking. This article reports a patient who developed Pulmonary Regurgitation (PR) and tricuspid regurgitation after repair, and her symptoms did not improve after undergoing percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. The patient was too fragile to treat TR through open-heart surgery, thus she was recommended for trans catheter tricuspid valve replacement. The procedure was performed successfully, and the patient recovered without any adverse events. We hope this case will provide some basis for future treatment options.
