Images and Case Reports in Interventional Cardiology Branch Pulmonary Artery Jailing With a Bare Metal Stent to Anchor a Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve in Patients With Patched Large Right Ventricular Outflow Tract

چکیده
Although transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement using the Melody valve (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, MN) has become widely adopted, it has only been formally studied in patients with right ventricle–to–pulmonary artery conduits 22 mm in diameter.1,2 Such patients compose only a small proportion of individuals with right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction, and there is interest and potential utility to broadening the indications for Melody valve implantation. We report nonstandard use of Melody valve in 3 noncandidate patients and discuss salient technical points.

متن کاملImages and Case Reports in Interventional Cardiology Bilateral Branch Pulmonary Artery Melody Valve Implantation for Treatment of Complex Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Dysfunction in a High-Risk Patient
Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement is one of the most important advancements in the field of interventional cardiology in the past decade.1,2 However, currently available technologies are not applicable to patients with oversized right ventricular outflow tracts (RVOTs), especially when there is concomitant proximal branch pulmonary artery (PA) stenosis. This combination commonly is encou...

A 14-year-old patient with the complex congenital heart defect of transposition of great arteries, ventricular septal defect and pulmonary stenosis, after the "réparation à l'etage ventriculaire" operation at the age of 3, was admitted to the hospital with critical pulmonary stenosis with a maximal right ventricle-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) gradient of 110 mm Hg. Transcatheter pulmonary valve imp...
متن کاملRight-sided Infective Endocarditis with Multiple Large Vegetations in a Case of Ventricular Septal Defect: A Case Report
Herein, we present the case of a 10-year-old child suffering from right-sided infective endocarditis with ventricular septal defect. Echocardiography revealed multiple rare large vegetations on the pulmonary valve extending into pulmonary artery along with a large vegetation over the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve.
