First‐in‐Human Innovative Modification of the Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve to Accommodate Short Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Anatomy in Patients With Severe Pulmonary Regurgitation
A short right ventricular outflow tract represents an anatomical limitation for transcatheter self-expandable pulmonary valve placement. In this report, we present an innovative modification of the Harmony<sup>TM</sup> transcatheter pulmonary valve to accommodate the short right ventricular outflow tract anatomy in an 11-year-old boy in a setting in which an appropriately-sized balloon expandable valve was unavailable.
