Background And Aims: Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is indicated to treat right-ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction related to congenital heart disease (CHD). Outcomes of TPVI with the SAPIEN 3 valve that are insufficiently documented were investigated in the EUROPULMS3 registry of SAPIEN 3-TPVI.
Methods: Patient-related, procedural, and follow-up outcome data were retrospectively assessed in this observational cohort from 35 centres in 15 countries.
Aims: Patients with systemic right ventricles are at high risk of sudden cardiac death. Arrhythmia is a significant risk factor. Routine Holter monitoring is opportunistic with poor adherence.

The aim of this study was to assess whether Ross procedure carried out as a second or subsequent intervention for aortic valve disease carries similar risk and long-term benefit, when compared to Ross procedure for the first-time aortic valve replacement.
Methods: A total of 158 patients aged 16-60 years from a single congenital cardiac centre between 1997 and 2020 were included.
Background: A 9-year-old boy with Berlin Heart biventricular assist device for diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy developed progressive reduction in left ventricular assist device(VAD) emptying and evidence of low cardiac output despite alterations to the device settings. Computed tomography revealed that the Dacron graft attaching the systemic cannula to the ascending aorta was stenosed.
Method & Result: A minimally invasive approach with novel circuit modification was used to achieve antegrade stenting of the stenosed graft.
