Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in a patient with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries: a case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation has become an attractive method of dysfunctional right ventricle outflow tract treatment.

Case presentation

We describe a unique case of a 20-year-old Caucasian male patient with a complex cyanotic heart defect, namely pulmonary atresia, with congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries and ventricular septal defect after Rastelli-like surgery at the age of 5 years with homograft use. At the age of 20 years, the patient needed percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation owing to homograft dysfunction. Despite unusual course of the coronary arteries, balloon testing in the landing zone of the right ventricle outflow tract excluded potential coronary artery compression. Then, after presentation, a Melody valve wa
