  • Title: Perventricular Melody valve implantation in a 12 kg child.
    Author: Holoshitz N, Ilbawi MN, Amin Z.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2013 Nov 01; 82(5):824-7. PubMed ID: 23723129.
    Abstract:
    Transcatheter pulmonic valve implantation has emerged as a safe and effective alternative to valve surgery in patients with surgically corrected congenital heart disease. In cases where the transcatheter approach has failed, or was thought to be technically challenging, a hybrid approach to pulmonic valve implantation has been described. This approach involves a small subxyphoid incision made by the cardiac surgeon and implantation of the pulmonic valve through the appropriate delivery sheath through this incision. Here we describe a case of a successful implantation of a Melody valve in a 12 kg child with tetralogy of Fallot. To our knowledge this is the smallest child to have undergone this procedure reported.
