Abstract:
Pulmonary valve replacement in small children is rarely needed; when performed, it is usually done surgically. Herein, we describe a hybrid technique for pulmonary valve replacement through a small subxiphoid incision in a Toddler without utilising the cardiopulmonary bypass machine. The procedural technique is thoroughly explained. Collaboration between paediatric cardiology and cardiovascular surgery teams achieved optimal outcome with minimised invasiveness.
