Abstract:
We describe two patients with unsalvageable ventricular-to-pulmonary artery conduits in whom endovascular stents were implanted in the native right ventricular (RV) outflow providing double outlet ventricle and RV hypertension relief. Both patients are free from surgical reintervention at 7 years and 5 months, respectively.
