Key result
Intraoperative hybrid implantation of Sapien S3 valves was described in 2 patients with complex pulmonic and tricuspid valvular disease.
Why the study?
Management of congenital heart disease has shifted toward catheter-based approaches, but experience with intraoperative hybrid Sapien S3 valve implantation in multi-valvular disease is limited.
Case Report (n=2)
Intraoperative hybrid implantation of Sapien S3 valves represents a novel approach for managing complex pulmonic and tricuspid valvular disease.
May be feasible in select complex cases; leaves open need for prospective studies on safety and durability.
There has been a paradigm shift in the management of patients with congenital heart disease with a move away from conventional surgical treatment in favor of a percutaneous catheter-based approach across the spectrum of valvular heart diseases. The Sapien S3 valve implantation in the pulmonary position has been previously reported using a conventional transcatheter approach in patients with pulmonary insufficiency due to an enlarged right ventricular outflow tract. In this report, we present 2 unique cases of intraoperative hybrid implantation of Sapien S3 valves in patients with complex pulmonic and tricuspid valvular disease.
