  • Title: Transjugular melody valve placement in a small child with protein losing enteropathy.
    Author: Mallula KK, Kenny D, Hijazi ZM.
    Journal: Catheter Cardiovasc Interv; 2015 Feb 01; 85(2):267-70. PubMed ID: 24659117.
    Abstract:
    The authors present a patient with situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, and tetralogy of Fallot with complete AV canal who underwent pulmonary valve-sparing complete repair during infancy but developed progressive pulmonary outflow obstruction on serial follow-up. His right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was prestented as a precursor for Melody valve placement. After this, he developed protein losing enteropathy (PLE) which was unresponsive to medical management. Finally, he received transcatheter Melody valve percutaneously in the pulmonic position that lead to clinical and biochemical resolution of his PLE symptoms.
