• The authors report the case of a patient who had undergone tricuspid valve replacement with a bioprosthesis in 1985 after infectious endocarditis complicated by paradoxical embolism. The appearance of signs of right heart failure eight years later led to the diagnosis of stenotic degeneration of the bioprosthesis. Inoue balloon valvuloplasty was performed with no complications leading to significant improvement in the patient's condition.
