Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Coronary compression and vascular perforation have not been reported for self-expanding transcatheter pulmonary valves. We describe a patient with tetralogy of Fallot after self-expanding valve implantation who developed left coronary artery compression from the valve. In addition, a wire frame fracture resulted in perforation of the aorta.
