Conclusions ü Our initial experience demonstrates that perventricular Melody Valve placement is
feasible in small sized patients ü Intraoperative TEE guidance may be utilized to prevent tricuspid valve injury ü RVOT pre-stenting is preferable at the time of valve placement, not preoperatively
Ø Care needs to be utilized while advancing the sheath across the stented RVOT
ü Procedure requires collaborative approach between CT surgery, interventional cardiology, and anesthesia
ü Associated with an ongoing learning curve ü Our preliminary data suggests that this approach is a relatively safe alternative to
alleviate multiple reentry surgical sternotomies
