SEVERE BIOPROSTHETIC TRICUSPID-VALVE STENOSIS WITH SYSTOLIC ANTEGRADEFLOW ACROSS THE TRICUSPID-VALVE

We report the anatomic and hemodynamic details of severe stenosis of a bioprosthetic tricuspid valve studied by transthoracic and transesoph ageal echocardiography. This patient also had antegrade systolic flow across the tricuspid valve due to a combination of severe tricuspid va lve stenosis and poor right ventricular systolic function.
