Abstract
This report describes a 41-year-old female with left isomerism, interrupted inferior caval vein with azygos continuation, dextrocardia, and repaired tetralogy of Fallot, who underwent percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation using the Venus P-valve system. Due to anatomical constraints, left jugular venous access was utilised. A Venus P-valve (30 by 25 mm) was successfully implanted in the right ventricular outflow tract using a simplified, one-curve trajectory directly on its delivery system without a delivery sheath. Contrast injections during valve implantation were not possible, and the pre-implanted duct occluder was our anatomical landmarks. This case highlights the adaptability of the Venus P-valve and the importance of individualised procedural strategies in addressing anatomical challenges and achieving optimal outcomes.
期刊介绍:
Cardiology in the Young is devoted to cardiovascular issues affecting the young, and the older patient suffering the sequels of congenital heart disease, or other cardiac diseases acquired in childhood. The journal serves the interests of all professionals concerned with these topics. By design, the journal is international and multidisciplinary in its approach, and members of the editorial board take an active role in the its mission, helping to make it the essential journal in paediatric cardiology. All aspects of paediatric cardiology are covered within the journal. The content includes original articles, brief reports, editorials, reviews, and papers devoted to continuing professional development.
