Abstract:
Transcatheter pulmonary valve placement is emerging as a standard therapy for dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract conduits. The Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve is indicated for use in the management of pediatric and adult patients with right ventricular outflow tract conduits measuring at least 16 mm in diameter. This is the first reported case of placement in a patient with a left ventricular assist device. We outline the preprocedural evaluation process, the procedural methods, and the outcomes of a successful implantation in a complex patient. With a team-based approach including thoughtful preprocedural evaluation, and close monitoring, successful deployment of a transcatheter pulmonary valve is possible in complex patients in the setting of mechanical circulatory support.
