The durability of bioprosthetic valves is limited due to a process of mineralization and collagen degeneration over time. In a few years after surgery bioprosthesis dysfunction can occur and necessitate reimplantation. We would like to present a case of a patient with high risk of surgery, who underwent percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty of a stenotic tricuspid bioprosthesis.
