Treatment of severe refractory valvar pulmonary stenosis with primary transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 23 March 2017
Abstract
Some patients with pulmonary valve stenosis do not respond to balloon valvuloplasty and must undergo surgical repair. We report the case of a 12-year-old child with pulmonary valve stenosis and Noonan syndrome in whom we performed transcatheter Melody pulmonary valve implantation after balloon dilation failed. The result was excellent. This technique can be proposed as an alternative to surgery in such cases.
