Abstract
Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement is a novel modality of treatment for pulmonary regurgitation or right ventricular outflow tract stenosis. Varying degrees of pulmonary regurgitation develops in nearly all the patients who undergo intracardiac repair for tetralogy of Fallot, with resultant right ventricular dilatation. Percutaneous PVR offers a minimally invasive approach for the treatment of this condition. We share our experience of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation with both balloon and self-expandable valves.
