| Abstract: | A patient with tricuspid and pulmonary regurgitation due to carcinoid syndrome successfully underwent double bioprosthetic valve replacement. This technique avoids anticoagulation treatment in a patient with hepatic dysfunction and facilitates future hepatic de-arterialization as a treatment option in carcinoid disease. Advances in treatment of carcinoid syndrome may have reduced the risk of early bioprosthetic degeneration. |
