Abstract

In select patients, transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement through a percutaneous approach can be challenging because of complicated anatomy or small patient size. In these patients, especially those weighing <20 kg, hybrid perventricular valve delivery may provide a preferred alternative approach. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).
