Key result
3D rotational angiography-guided PPVI yields a ~93% procedural success rate with low complications.
Why the study?
Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) may enhance safety and reduce complication risks in percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI), prompting an evaluation of its workflow and value.
Does three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) safely and effectively guide percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in patients with congenital heart disease?

A two-step 3DRA workflow during PPVI allows for high procedural success and detailed anatomical assessment, including identification of coronary compression risk, with acceptable radiation and contrast doses.
Objectives: To describe the workflow and value of three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) in percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI). Background: 3DRA offers visualization of the entire topography in the chest and may enhance safety and reduce the risk for complications in PPVI through improved pre-procedural planning and per-procedural guidance. Methods: All PPVI procedures with the use of 3DRA performed between August 2011 and December 2022 were reviewed. Success rate, complications and radiation dose were assessed. Radiation dose of the latest 3DRA protocol was compared to historical 3DRA data. Results: /kg). Four patients experienced one or more complications. There were no deaths peri-procedural or during follow-up. Complications were; need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (n = 2), MPA paravasation (n = 1), valve dysfunction (n = 2). Conclusions: The use of rotational angiography for the guidance of PPVI results in a high success rate, low number of complications with the use of a low amount of radiation.

Krings et al. (2024) conducted a cohort in Congenital heart disease requiring percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (n=102). Three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) guided percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation was evaluated on Procedural success. The use of three-dimensional rotational angiography for the guidance of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation resulted in a 93% success rate, low complication rate, and limited radiation exposure.
