Abstract:
Patients with dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracks comprise a large portion of patients with severe congenital heart disease. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in patients with dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracks is feasible, safe, and efficacious. This article reviews current transcatheter valve replacement technology for dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary valvular disease and its applications to patients with congenital heart disease. Discussed are the approach and preprocedural planning, current options, and applications of transcatheter pulmonary valve therapy. Also considered are future directions in this field as the technologies begin to develop further.

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...
