Abstract:
We report on successful endovascular retrieval of an accidentally flared Melody valve in an adult patient with an indication for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. The Melody valve was removed through a 24 F sheath, introduced via the right jugular vein, and the urgent open-heart surgery was avoided.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
