Background: In small children with left atrioventricular valve dysfunction, valve repair is preferred but some will require valve replacement. No prosthetic valve has growth potential, bioprostheses have poor durability, and mechanical prostheses have high rates of thromboembolic and hemorrhagic complications. We reviewed our experience with a modified bovine jugular vein valve designed for use in the right ventricular outflow tract (Melody valve, Medtronic) and compared this with contemporary mechanical valve replacement.

Objectives: To describe the workflow and value of three-dimensional rotational angiography (3DRA) in percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI).
Background: 3DRA offers visualization of the entire topography in the chest and may enhance safety and reduce the risk for complications in PPVI through improved pre-procedural planning and per-procedural guidance.
Methods: All PPVI procedures with the use of 3DRA performed between August 2011 and December 2022 were reviewed.

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) poses significant risks following percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) or surgical replacement (PVR).
Aims: This study evaluates the effectiveness of emergency percutaneous treatment in stabilizing patients with severe right ventricular dysfunction or obstructive cardiac shock, allowing for delayed surgical or percutaneous valve replacement.
Methods: This retrospective study examines 16 patients (age 19.

Traditional anodization was generally conducted in aqueous or water-containing solutions at room temperature or even lower temperatures. The two best known examples of the application of traditional anodization in the fabrication of nanostructured oxides are porous anodic alumina and titania nanotube films. In 1998, Melody et al.
