A custom transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) system was successfully used in a patient with a complex right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anatomy, expanding treatment options for severe pulmonary regurgitation.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Congenital Heart Disease
Background:
- Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) is a less invasive option for severe pulmonary regurgitation post-tetralogy of Fallot repair.
- Complex right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anatomy can limit the use of standard TPVR devices.

Oxygen Delivering System II: Venturi Mask and Transtracheal Oxygen
Venturi Mask
The Venturi mask, named after the Venturi effect, is designed to deliver precise oxygen concentrations. It consists of a large tube with an oxygen inlet that narrows down, causing a pressure drop that pulls air in through adjustable side ports. The mask is a lightweight,...
