Implantation of a Pulmonary Valve at the Infundibular Level: A Novel Technique

Monday, September 7, 2015

This video presents the case of a 37-year-old man diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with absent pulmonary valve syndrome. He underwent surgery, and a bioprosthetic valve was placed at the level of the infundibulum. This is a novel technique that the authors believe can be safely used for reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract in cases of TOF with absent pulmonary valve syndrome.

Thank you @baytacoglu for your kind words of appreciation. Sorry for the delayed reply. That is an excellent suggestion - using a stentless valve. To be honest we dont have stentless valves available at our institution, hence we had to go for the conventional bioprosthetic valve.
