Case Report (n=1)
Minimally invasive pulmonary valve replacement via a left anterior mini-incision is feasible and can result in rapid recovery in pediatric patients with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot.
Vekstein et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Tetralogy of Fallot with progressive pulmonary insufficiency and left pulmonary artery stenosis (n=1). Minimally invasive pulmonary valve replacement with left pulmonary artery augmentation through a left anterior mini-incision was evaluated on Surgical success and recovery. Minimally invasive pulmonary valve replacement with left pulmonary artery augmentation through a left anterior mini-incision was performed successfully without complication in a 12-year-old male.
