Novel Percutaneous Treatment Strategies for Native Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Dysfunction-Case: Percutaneous Management of the Native RVOT in 67 YO

Case: Percutaneous Management of the Native RVOT in 67 YO

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video transcript describes a case of a 64-year-old female with non-ischemic cardiomyopathy. She had a HeartMate 3 LVAD placement, but developed severe pulmonary valve insufficiency, rendering the RVAD ineffective. Since she was not a surgical candidate, a decision was made to proceed with percutaneous pulmonary valve placement using the Altera system. The procedure was successful, with no residual pulmonary insufficiency. The patient did not require reinitiation of RVAD support and her most recent echocardiogram showed improved pulmonary valve function. She remains on LVAD support and home Milrinone therapy.
