Key result
Combined Venus P-valve and Melody valve implantation is feasible for complex multi-tract RVOT dysfunction.
Case Report (n=1)
Case report describing the percutaneous implantation of Venus P-Valve and Melody Valve in a patient with dysfunctional native and artificial right ventricular outflow tracts.
Feasibility shown in mixed native-prosthetic RVOT dysfunction; leaves open durability, safety, and broader applicability.
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is been increasingly performed for restoring pulmonary competence in appropriately selected patients.However, The currently available valves are not capable of being safely implanted in the majority of patient with outflow tract dysfunction as they cannot accommodate the larger outflow tract diameters seen in most patients.The Venus P-valve is a new percutaneous pulmonary valve designed specifically for implantation in large (up to 32 mm diameters) native right ventricular outflow tracts.In this report we describe the combined use of a Venus P-valve and Melody transcatheter pulmonary valves in a patient with a dysfunctional native and artificial right ventricular outflow tracts.

Thanopoulos et al. (2019) conducted a case report in Dysfunctional native and artificial right ventricular outflow tracts (n=1). Combined percutaneous implantation of Venus P-valve and Melody transcatheter pulmonary valves was evaluated. Combined percutaneous implantation of a Venus P-valve (for up to 32 mm diameter tracts) and a Melody valve was performed in 1 patient with dysfunctional native and artificial RVOTs.
