“…Pulmonary regurgitation is a common late consequence of surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) ( 1 , 2 ). European society of cardiology guidelines on the management of adult congenital heart disease recommend transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) in symptomatic patients affected by severe pulmonary regurgitation ( 3 ).…”

BackgroundInfective endocarditis is a complication with high mortality in patients with congenital heart disease, particularly for those with bioprosthetic valve.Case summaryWe report a case of a 54-year-old female with a history of tetralogy of Fallot who had been surgically repaired using a transannular patch due to severe pulmonary insufficiency with right heart enlargement and presented with worsening dyspnea. She had received transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) 5 years ago. Unfortunately, bioprosthesis-associated infective endocarditis occurred due to dental caries. Given persistent antibiotic medication, she became clinically stable with prosthesis functional recovery. However, dysfunctional bioprosthesis was still detected 3 years later, which was successfully treated by valve-in-valve TPVI with the help of modified buddy wire technique. At a 12-month follow-up after valve-in-valve TPVI, she was completely recovered with improved symptoms of heart failure.ConclusionThis is the first report of valve-in-valve TPVI of a self-expandable valve in a degenerated self-expandable valve. The case highlights increased surveillance for infective endocarditis of transcatheter pulmonary valve should be emphasized. Subsequent valve-in-valve TPVI is an effective treatment for valve failure in defined conditions improving the hemodynamics.

“…31 Furthermore, on the basis of two studies that used TAPSE and EF to determine systolic RVF by conventional ECG, we defined systolic RVF as TAPSE <1.7 cm and EF 45%. 32 , 33 Accordingly, we focused on the TAPSE and EF for diagnosing RVF by conventional ECG. We found that children with than without RVF had a lower TAPSE of 1.7 cm and EF of less than 45%.…”
