Abstract
Neuroendocrine tumors can lead to carcinoid heart disease with subsequent development of severe tricuspid regurgitation due to thickening and restriction of the tricuspid leaflets. We present a patient who underwent successful heterotopic transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement for torrential tricuspid regurgitation due to carcinoid heart disease. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
