The Melody valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) is a stented bovine jugular vein graft that was primarily approved for transcatheter implantation in a pulmonary valve position. The prosthetic valve can also be implanted in an atrioventricular position in infants and young children, and in these cases it must be modified appropriately. In this tutorial we demonstrate the surgical preparation of a stented transcatheter Melody valve for implantation in the atrioventricular position. Additionally, we present a safe and effective method for surgical valve-in-valve implantation in a 3-year-old patient with hypoplastic left heart syndrome.

An 83-year-old man underwent dual-chamber pacemaker placement for complete atrioventricular block at another hospital. The active-fixation ventricular lead was positioned on the free wall of the anterior right ventricle. Ventricular pacing failure occurred on the day after pacemaker implantation, and fluoroscopy revealed right ventricular (RV) lead perforation.

Background: The Edwards Sapien percutaneous valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) is a promising therapeutic option for congenital atrioventricular disease mostly because of the possibility to accommodate somatic growth with balloon dilatation.
Case Summary: This article reports the performance of the Edwards Sapien 3 valve in atrioventricular valve position in four paediatric patients.
Discussion: Despite aggressive antiplatelet and anticoagulation strategies, most patients showed early bioprosthesis dysfunction, with increasing gradient not related with somatic growth.

Background: Evidence regarding cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (ccTGA) is insufficient. The timing to perform CRT and optimal pacing sites have not been systematically studied. We performed CRT for ccTGA with a complete atrioventricular block (CAVB) by pacing the dorsal site of right ventricular inflow (dRVI) and anterior RV outflow tract (aRVOT).

Background: Patients with an indication for a cardiovascular implantable electronic device (CIED) are complicated with special cardiomyopathy or other unspecified cardiac abnormalities and may need endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). However, EMB by a bioptome is usually avoided to reduce the risk of lead displacement in the CIED periprocedural period.
Objective: We aimed to assess the safety and feasibility of a novel approach for transvenous right ventricular (RV) EMB using the lead sheath method (L-S-M) during CIED implantation and compared it with the traditional bioptome method (T-B-M).
