[HSF] TVR with liver failure

Tom,
  Your choice of porcine valve for the tricuspid position is likely  the best 
one.  To be honest, I've a very limited experience with tricuspid  
replacement, and have probably done less than 10 in my career.  I have  opted for a 
pericardial prosthesis simply because their durability seems better  in the aortic 
and mitral positions.  However, anybody requiring a tricuspid  replacement is 
pretty unlikely to outlive the prosthesis.
