A symptomatic neonate with tetralogy of Fallot, an absent pulmonary valve, and a single coronary artery with a major fistula.

30 Oct 2009 We present a case with a rare combination of tetralogy of Fallot with an absent pulmonary valve, and a single coronary artery with a major fistula to the main pulmonary artery. Myocardial ischemia developed in response to increasing shunt flow ... Read more...

A comparative study of mechanical and homograft prostheses in the pulmonary position.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Homografts (HGs) are considered the gold standard for pulmonary valve replacement. However, to avoid further operations, the use of mechanical valves (MVs) might be considered, especially in patients who had had multiple prior operations ... Read more...

Implantation of the melody transcatheter pulmonary valve in patients with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract conduit early results from the u.s. Clinical trial.

25 Oct 2009 OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the safety, procedural success, and short-term effectiveness of the Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota) in patients with dysfunctional right ventricular ... Read more...
