First‐in‐Human Innovative Modification of the Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve to Accommodate Short Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Anatomy in Patients With Severe Pulmonary Regurgitation
Abstract
ABSTRACT A short right ventricular outflow tract represents an anatomical limitation for transcatheter self‐expandable pulmonary valve placement. In this report, we present an innovative modification of the Harmony TM transcatheter pulmonary valve to accommodate the short right ventricular outflow tract anatomy in an 11‐year‐old boy in a setting in which an appropriately‐sized balloon expandable valve was unavailable.
