What is the incidence of aortic root compression during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in patients with congenital heart disease?
Aortic root compression is a notable complication during TPVR, particularly affecting patients with Tetralogy of Fallot and native/transannular patch right ventricular outflow tracts.
Lindsay et al. (2016) conducted an observational in Congenital heart disease (n=174). Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement was evaluated on Incidence of aortic root compression. Aortic root compression occurred in 9% of patients presenting for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement, predominantly affecting those with native or transannular patch outflow tracts.
