ABSTRACT
Anatomy/pathophysiology Pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is required for residual right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) lesions usually seen after repair of:
• pulmonary atresia, ventricular septal defect • tetralogy of Fallot • absent pulmonary valve syndrome • common arterial trunk (truncus arteriosus) • rastelli type repair of transposition, ventricular septal
defect with pulmonary stenosis (TGA, VSD, PS) or pulmonary atresia
• homograft in the subpulmonary outflow, e.g. after Ross operation.
