Branch pulmonary artery valve implantation has been reported in larger patients with dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts via routine femoral access. Here, we report treatment of severe pulmonary insufficiency with bilateral branch pulmonary artery Melody valve implantation (Medtronic, Minneapolis, Minnesota). To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of bilateral valve implantation utilising the hybrid approach in a small-size patient.
经股动脉常规入路已报道在右心室流出道功能障碍的较大患者中进行分支肺动脉瓣植入。在此,我们报告了利用双侧分支肺动脉 Melody 瓣膜植入术(美敦力,明尼苏达州明尼阿波利斯)治疗严重肺动脉瓣闭锁不全。据我们所知,这是首例在小体型患者中采用杂交技术进行双侧瓣膜植入的报告。
