"Tailored" endovascular pulmonary valve and root replacement for rupture of a dilated homograft

Cardiovasc Diagn Ther. 2018 Dec;8(6):820-824. doi: 10.21037/cdt.2018.11.06.

Abstract

Current balloon expandable and self-expanding valves have limitations for the treatment of the enlarged right ventricular outflow tract. We report the first use of a tailored Zenith graft in composition with an Edwards Sapien S3 valve as an alternative to high-risk surgery for the treatment of a spontaneously ruptured homograft in an adult congenital heart disease patient.

Keywords: Pulmonary valve replacement; bleeding; endovascular; enlarged right ventricular outflow tract.
