Abstract
Pulmonary insufficiency often follows the surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot, leading to adverse outcomes. Young patients with short right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduits are at risk of pulmonary artery branch occlusion when a traditional Melody valve (Medtronic) is used. We report a novel case of a folded Melody valve implanted with a simultaneous stent in a pediatric patient to address challenges posed by a short right ventricle-pulmonary artery conduit.
