Recent Development in Pulmonary Valve Replacement after Tetralogy of Fallot Repair: The Emergence of Hybrid Approaches

Abstract: An increasing number of patients with tetralogy of Fallot require repeat surgical intervention for pulmonary valve replacement secondary to pulmonary regurgitation. Catheter-based interventions have emerged as an attractive alternative to surgery in this patient population but it is limited by patient size or the anatomy of the right ventricular outflow tract. Hybrid approaches involving both cardiac interventionists and surgeons are being developed to overcome these limitations. The purpose of this review is … Show more

“…Various approaches to hybrid pulmonic valve replacement have been described, typically in patients not considered candidates for surgical PVR. Prior reports have involved a variety of surgical approaches (median sternotomy, lateral thoracotomy) and techniques (PA banding, RVOT plication), points of access (per‐ventricular, percutaneous), and valve types (Melody, Sapien XT). The largest series of hybrid TPVR compared eight patients with hybrid TPVR using a Melody valve following RVOT modification through a median sternotomy to 13 matched patients who underwent surgical PVR and showed the hybrid approach to be associated with fewer blood transfusions and a trend toward shorter length of stay.…”

“…An increasing number of adult congenital heart disease patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are surviving into adulthood. The mortality in TOF patients has declined from 50% in the 1950s to less than 2% , with 90% of them living beyond 40 years of age . Pulmonary valve regurgitation is a common late consequence of surgical repair of TOF.…”

“…Pulmonary valve regurgitation is a common late consequence of surgical repair of TOF. As patients live longer, the severity of pulmonary valve regurgitation worsens leading to progressively worsening of right ventricular (RV) function, decrease in exercise tolerance, worsening heart failure, and arrhythmias .…”

“…Chronic severe pulmonary valve regurgitation (PR) following treatment of congenital heart defects in infancy leads to right ventricular and atrial enlargement which predisposes patients to right heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death . Subsequently nearly all of these patients require pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) later in life.…”
