Pulmonary valve disease (congenital)
November 13, 2024
This video demonstrates the value of the modified Lecompte maneuver when combined with pulmonary valve replacement and reduction pulmonary arterioplasty in relieving tracheobronchial compression in a child with tetralogy of Fallot and absent pulmonary valve-like syndrome.

The minimally invasive approach has recently been advocated for repairing various congenital cardiac anomalies, including ASD, partial AV canal, subaortic web resection, VSD, and PAPVC. The authors report this approach for the supracardiac TAPVC and to their knowledge, this is the first report of this type of operation.

Outcomes of Treatment for Infective Endocarditis Following Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement
February 28, 2023
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) carries an increased risk of infective endocarditis. This study used data from the Pediatric Health Information System for the period 2010–2020. Ninety-eight hospital admissions for infective endocarditis were identified for sixty-eight patients.
