Sequential Melody Valve Insertion After Repair of Tetralogy of Fallot Atrioventricular Septal Defect.

We present a case describing hybrid strategies to treat severe left atrioventricular and pulmonary valve regurgitation with modified balloon expandable stent valves to counter low cardiac output secondary to valve dysfunction. Such strategies offer an alternative to standard valve choices and should be considered as an extension of the current surgical valve inventory. PMID: 29455823 [PubMed - in process]
