Key result
Transcatheter placement of a novel Russian-made valve-containing stent with polytetrafluoroethylene leaflets in the pulmonary artery position was described in a series of cases.
Why the study?
Repeat open prosthetic reconstruction of dysfunctional pulmonary artery valves carries high surgical risk, and biological transcatheter grafts have limited durability and infective endocarditis risk.

Novel PTFE pulmonary valve may offer durable alternative; hypothesis-generating for endocarditis risk reduction versus biological grafts.
Case Report
The use of a novel transcatheter pulmonary valve with polytetrafluoroethylene leaflets may offer an alternative to biological grafts with potentially better durability and lower endocarditis risk.
Базылев et al. (2020) conducted a case report in Dysfunction after primary correction of congenital and acquired heart defects requiring repeat pulmonary artery valve reconstruction. Transcatheter implantation of a Russian-made valve-containing stent with polytetrafluoroethylene leaflets was evaluated. Transcatheter placement of a novel Russian-made valve-containing stent with polytetrafluoroethylene leaflets in the pulmonary artery position was described in a series of cases.
