Key result
A tricky situation involving balloon rupture during pre-stenting for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation was successfully managed.
Case Report
This case report provides a descriptive strategy for managing the complication of balloon rupture during pre-stenting in percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation.
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is increasingly adopted as an alternative procedure to surgery in dysfunctional homograft, and in patients with "native" or wide right ventricle outflow tract dysfunction. Pre-stenting is mandatory in this category of patients for many reasons, one of which is to create an adequate landing zone for the bioprosthesis. Here we report on a tricky situation that occurred during pre-stenting, and we describe how we successfully overcame it.
