Trileaflet reconstruction of pulmonary valve for acute pulmonary valve insufficiency. [PDF]
Iatrogenic pulmonary valve insufficiency is a life-threatening complication and its treatment options pose another challenge. Easily accessible mechanical valves have high complication rates. Xenografts and homografts are expensive materials and are not readily accessible in case of emergency.

Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with rapid progression: a case report and literature review
Background Isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis (IPE) is rare, accounting for 1.5–2% of all cases of infective endocarditis. Herein, we describe a case of isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis with rapid progression in a 28-year-old male.

Pulmonary Valve Repair for Patients With Acquired Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency [PDF]
Pulmonary valve (PV) insufficiency is often an acquired condition after treatment for pulmonary stenosis. It is recognized that PV insufficiency has serious deleterious effects. Although surgical replacement of the PV is efficacious, artificial valves inevitably fail and require re-intervention. The purpose of this study was to summarize our experience

Pulmonary valve replacement in patients with corrected tetralogy of Fallot [PDF]
Introduction: Development of pulmonary insufficiency in patients with surgically corrected tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) may lead to severe right heart failure with serious consequences. We herein present our experience with pulmonary valve replacement (PVR)

Congenital Insufficiency of the Pulmonary Valve [PDF]
Congenital insufficiency of the pulmonary valve may result if the valvular cusps develop faultily or fail to develop. It is commonly associated with ventricular septal defect, with or without pulmonary stenosis. Under these conditions a continuous precordial murmur may be present. Less commonly, congenital pulmonary valvular insufficiency may appear as

Repair of Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency Using an Autologous Monocusp
A 3 1/2-year-old boy experienced right ventricular failure approximately two years after an operation for critical pulmonic stenosis. Severe pulmonary and tricuspid valvular insufficiency was documented echocardiographically and at cardiac catheterization.

Surgical management of a patient with mirror-image dextrocardia with situs inversus, atrial septal defect, moderate tricuspid regurgitation, and moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension: a case report [PDF]
Mirror-image dextrocardia is a rare congenital cardiovascular disease in which the main part of the heart is located on the right side of the thoracic cavity, with the tip of the heart pointing to the right side and the positions of the ventricles, atria,

Re-interventions after the Ross procedure: reasons, technical approaches, immediate outcomes
Re-interventions after pulmonary autograft aortic valve replacement (Ross procedure) may be associated with dysfunction of the neoaortic, neopulmonary, or both operated valves.
