Transthoracic pulmonary valve replacement for severe pulmonary regurgitation following pulmonary atresia repair with an intact ventricular septum: a case report

open access: yesWorld Journal of Pediatric Surgery
Pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum (PA/IVS) is a rare congenital heart disease. Pulmonary regurgitation is a major late postsurgical complication and pulmonary valve replacement is the mainstream treatment.We report the case of a 15-year-
