    Author: Mendes IC, Maymone-Martins F, Anjos R.
    Journal: J Card Surg; 2016 Dec; 31(12):750-754. PubMed ID: 27704613.
    Abstract:
    A 30-year-old female with tricuspid valve atresia, ventricular septal defect, and atrial septal defect had a neonatal modified Blalock Taussig shunt and a Fontan-Björk operation performed at five years of age. She did well initially but progressively developed signs of systemic congestion due to severe homograft stenosis and underwent successful percutaneous implantation of a Melody® pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in the "tricuspid" position.
