Abstract
Chronic severe pulmonary valve regurgitation (PVR) following
the surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) and similar pathologies in infancy leads to right ventricular enlargement, which predisposes patients to right heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden
cardiac death. Subsequently, nearly all of these patients require
pulmonary valve implantation (PVI) later in life (1). PVI can be performed either through a surgery (under cardiopulmonary bypass)
or transcatheter route. In cases where the patient’s condition
poses high risk for surgery and/or is not suitable for transcatheter PVI, a hybrid procedure might be an alternative approach
