Key result
Percutaneous implantation of pulmonary valves is emerging as an alternative to surgical re-operation for right ventricular outflow tract conditions, yielding excellent results for valve incompetence.

May offer less invasive option for RVOT dysfunction in congenital heart disease; leaves open need for randomized durability data.
Does percutaneous implantation of pulmonary valves provide an effective alternative to surgical re-operation in patients with congenital heart disease?
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is an emerging, effective alternative to surgical re-operation for right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction in congenital heart disease.
Khambadkone et al. (2003) conducted a review in Congenital heart disease requiring right ventricular outflow tract surgery. Percutaneous implantation of pulmonary valves was evaluated. Percutaneous implantation of pulmonary valves is emerging as an alternative to surgical re-operation for right ventricular outflow tract conditions, yielding excellent results for valve incompetence.
