TPVR in patients with large diameter dysfunctional RVOTs can be effectively performed with the Sapien S3. All procedures were technically successful with no embolizations, no perivalvular leaks, and excellent short-term valve function. Tricuspid valve injury from implantation of an uncovered valve was a serious procedural complication.
