Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation guided by three-dimensional rotational angiography.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To describe the workflow and value of three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) in percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI).

Background

3DRA offers visualization of the entire topography in the chest and may enhance safety and reduce the risk for complications in PPVI through improved pre-procedural planning and per-procedural guidance.

Methods

All PPVI procedures with the use of 3DRA performed between August 2011 and December 2022 were reviewed. Success rate, complications and radiation dose were assessed. Radiation dose of the latest 3DRA protocol was compared to historical 3DRA data.

Results

PPVI was successful in 95 of 102 procedures. Seven procedures were aborted due to coronary compression after balloon testing (n = 3), main pulmo
