Abstract/OtherAbstract:
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation into dysfunctional right ventricular to pulmonary artery conduits is being increasingly performed in many European and North American centers with satisfactory results and low complication rates. We report the first application of this elaborate technique in the native right ventricular outflow tract of a young patient who developed severe supravalvular pulmonary stenosis following an arterial switch operation for transposition of the great arteries. The procedure may be used as an alternative to surgical repair for the treatment of selected patients with supravalvular pulmonary stenosis complicating congenital heart surgery. © 2011 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
