Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation: two-centre experience with more than 100 patients

Abstract

This study shows that PPVI is feasible and it improves the haemodynamics in a selected patient collective. Apart from one coronary compression, the rate of complications at short-term follow-up was low. Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation can be performed by experienced interventionalists with similar results as originally published. The intervention is technically challenging and longer clinical follow-up is needed.
