Right pulmonary to left pulmonary perfusion ratio after percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) requires the positioning of a stiff guidewire into one of the pulmonary branch arteries. An infrequent but commonly known complication is the “jailing” of one of the pulmonary branch arteries. However, even without apparent “jailing” of one of the pulmonary branch arteries, we suspect that the technique of stent placements often has an effect on the pulmonary perfusion ratio. The aim of this study was to assess the changes of the pulmonary perfusion ratio and their predictors after PPVI.

Right ventricular Hemodynamic Alteration after Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Children with Congenital Heart Disease
Introduction: In patients who underwent surgery to repair Tetralogy of Fallot, right ventricular dilation from pulmonary regurgitation may be result in right ventricular failure, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. Hence, pulmonary valve replacement may be necessary to reduce right ventricular volume overload. The aim of present study was to assess the effects of pulmonary valve replacement on rig...
متن کاملIntegrated Percutaneous Atrial Septal Defect Occlusion and Pulmonary Balloon Valvuloplasty
Introduction: Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is one of the most common congenital heart diseases during childhood. Today, ASD closure is done by occlutech device via cardiac catheterization. ASD repair with transcatheter technique has shown high closure rate. However, coexistence of severe pulmonary stenosis and large defect in atrial septum is rare. When these two problems coexist, the result is i...

Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation for conduit dysfunction in the right ventricular outflow tract is a safe and efficient treatment in selected patients. We report on a patient with stenosis and regurgitation of a homograft in the right ventricular outflow tract who developed complete atrioventricular block during percutaneous implantation of a Melody™ valve. This complete atrioventricul...
