Bicuspid pulmonary valve implantation using polytetrafluoroethylene membrane: early results and assessment of the valve function by magnetic resonance imaging.
OBJECTIVES The durability of bioprosthetic valves in the pulmonary position is suboptimal. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the early results of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) bicuspid pulmonary valve (PV) implantation and to better define the function of this valve by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS Fifty-six patients who underwent PTFE bicuspid PV implantation between...
متن کاملPercutaneous transcatheter heart valve implantation in a bicuspid aortic valve.
ardio 77-year-old man presented with increasingly ymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS). Echocardioram showed an aortic valve area of 0.6 cm and a ean pressure gradient of 57 mm Hg. It could not be scertained conclusively if the valve was tricuspid or icuspid due to heavy calcification (Figs. 1A and 1B). ortic annulus was 20 mm in diameter. Left ventriclar ejection fraction was 40%. At cardiac...
متن کاملBicuspid Pulmonic Valve and Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm
Bicuspid pulmonary valves and pulmonary artery aneurysms are two rare entities, reported in association, and usually attributed to hemodynamic alterations caused by the bicuspid pulmonary valve. We present magnetic resonance images of a patient with a bicuspid pulmonary valve and pulmonary artery aneurysm, and propose an alternative mechanism for this association, based on recent embryologic st...
متن کاملPercutaneous pulmonary valve implantation
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is one of the most exciting recent developments in the treatment of structural heart disease and has evolved as an attractive alternative to surgery in patients with dysfunctional right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduits. Although surgical pulmonary valve replacement is associated with low morbidity and mortality rates, there are ma...
متن کاملPercutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation
Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is a frequent sequelae after repair of tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia, truncus arteriosus, Rastelli and Ross operation. Due to patient growth and conduit degeneration, these conduits have to be changed frequently due to regurgitation or stenosis. However, morbidity is significant in these repeated operations. To prolong conduit longevity, bare-metal stenting...
