[Tricuspid and pulmonary percutaneous valvulopathy in the cardiopathy of the carcinoid syndrome. A case report]. / Valvuloplastia percutánea tricúspide y pulmonar en la cardiopatía del síndrome carcinoide. Presentación de un caso.

We present a 36-year-old woman with a malignant carcinoid syndrome, liver metastases and right heart involvement with severe tricuspid and pulmonic valve stenosis. She was admitted with severe heart failure and poor general status. A combined tricuspid and pulmonic valvuloplasty was performed and she exhibited great clinical improvement that was maintained during the follow-up. We point out the importance of two-dimensional echocardiography in the diagnosis of this pathology and the role of Doppler measurements for the evaluation of the valvuloplasty's results.
