Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation based on minimally invasive direct coronary bypass surgery.

We present the case of a 22-year-old young lady following Rastelli repair with chronic right heart failure. Weighing the risk of several offered surgical options, she underwent successful PPVI following minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB) procedure. A 22-year-old patient underwent successful percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation despite coronary compression during test ballooning of the right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit. A combination of MIDCAB and PPVI was performed to avoid a conduit exchange. PMID: 32145193 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
