Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation: an update
Expert Review of Cardiovascular Therapy , 07/20/09
Lurz P et al. – Median follow–up data show good freedom from reoperation and recatheterization and demonstrate that PPVI can postpone open–heart surgery, thereby potentially reducing the number of operations that patients have to undergo within their lifetime. Complications seen after PPVI, in particular stent fractures, can require reintervention in some cases (second stent–in–stent PPVI); however, valve competency remains good, with significant regurgitation during follow–up only seen in the context of occasional endocarditis.
