Transjugular tricuspid valve ‐in‐ring replacement using the novel system under three‐dimensional printing guidance

We present a case of a 67-year-old male who underwent tricuspid annuloplasty 3  years ago and developed severe recurrent tricuspid regurgitation (regurgitation volume = 36 mL) 6 months ago. To avoid a high-risk thoracotomy, we finally performed TVIR replacement using the novel device, LuX-Valve Plus system, via the transjugular approach. Cardiovascular three-dimensional p rinting technology was utilized to investigate the distinct advantages offered by the new device in this specific intervention, as well as to simulate the procedure. Successful TVIR replacement resulted in significant symptomatic improvement. TVIR replacement with the LuX-Valve Plus system is feasib le for failed annuloplasty ring cases. Patient-specific three-dimensional printed models enable personalized procedural planning, enhancing safety and precision.
