Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Implantation

Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is a less invasive alternative to open surgical pulmonary valve replacement or reconstruction for right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction. Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement may be indicated for congenital pulmonary stenosis. Pulmonary stenosis or regurgitation in a patient with congenital heart disease who has previously undergone RVOT surgery are additional indications. Patients with prior congenital heart disease repair are at risk of needing repeated reconstruction procedures.
