Pulmonary insufficiency often follows the surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot, leading to adverse outcomes. Young patients with short right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduits are at risk of pulmonary artery branch occlusion when a traditional Melody valve (Medtronic) is used. We report a novel case of a folded Melody valve implanted with a simultaneous stent in a pediatric patient to address challenges posed by a short right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduit.
肺动脉闭锁不全常继发于法洛四联症的外科修复术后,会导致不良后果。使用传统的美敦力Melody瓣膜时,右心室-肺动脉导管较短的年轻患者有肺动脉分支闭塞的风险。我们报告了一例小儿患者,通过植入折叠式Melody瓣膜并同时置入支架,解决了右心室-肺动脉导管较短带来的挑战。
