Transcatheter Interventions for Atrioventricular Dysfunction in Patients with Adult Congenital Heart Disease: An International Case Series.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

A substantial proportion of patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) suffer from worsening valvular dysfunction in adulthood. Transcatheter valve interventions can offer a therapeutic alternative to surgery for those at high surgical risk. There is emerging but limited data on transcatheter interventions for atrioventricular (AV) valve dysfunction in patients with ACHD.

Methods

We compiled an international collaborative multi-center registry focusing on adult patients with congenital heart disease undergoing transcatheter AV valve interventions (repair or replacement). Included were patients from three international centers who underwent procedures between 2016 and 2022. Demographic, clinical, and procedural data were compiled.
