Mid-term outcomes of percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement with Edwards-Sapien bioprosthesis in native right ventricular outflow tract.

ABSTRACT: Information on mid-term outcomes of percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (PPVR) with the Edwards Sapien (ES) valve in the native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) are limited. This study assesses mid-term outcomes in 76 patients who underwent PPVR between 2016 and 2022, comparing native (40.8%) and non-native (59.2%) RVOTs. The primary endpoint was a composite of endocarditis, reinterventions, and cardiovascular death and secondary outcomes included prosthetic valve dysfunction (PVD), tricuspid regurgitation (TR), right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF), and indexed ventricular volumes. The median patient age was 23.9 years. Pulmonary regurgitation was predominant in the native RVOT group (67.7%), while pulmonary stenosis or combined lesions were more common in the non-native g
