Abstract: 
We report the case of a 64-year-old patient with history of chronic kidney disease on dialysis who was repeatedly hospitalized due to hydropic decompensation. Right heart failure with secondary severe tricuspid regurgitation was diagnosed. An interventional approach was recommended due to the heavy calcification of the sinus venosus and the perioperative risk (EuroScore II 3.2%) and taking into account the explicit request of the patient. After analysis of a full-cycle computed tomography, the patient was eligible for the implantation of the Tricento transcatheter heart valve. The custom-made prosthesis was implanted successfully using periprocedural transoesophageal guidance supported by fusion imaging that integrates live co-registration. After implantation of the valve prosthesis, the primary result was excellent. The patient was discharged without further complications shortly after the procedure and her status is being closely monitored.
