Successful Management of an Atrial Embolized Valve During Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve-in-Ring Implantation With a Novel Technique: A Case Report.

Transcatheter tricuspid valve-in-ring implantation (TVIRI) has emerged as a viable therapy for high-risk patients with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation after failure of tricuspid annuloplasty. However, there are potential complications associated with this minimally invasive procedure, including the rare but life-threatening occurrence of valve embolization during TVIRI. This report describes a rare case of atrial embolization of a balloon-expandable valve during TVIRI in a 67-year-old female patient. The embolized valve was successfully retrieved and repositioned with a balloon catheter, avoiding emergent surgery. This case illustrates a novel management strategy for valve embolization and provides valuable insight into the expanding field of structural heart interventions.
