- 03:33Results: Implantation of Autologous Pulmonary Valves in Adult Sheep
- 04:54Conclusion
This study demonstrates the feasibility and safety of developing an autologous pulmonary valve for implantation at the native pulmonary valve position by using a self-expandable Nitinol stent in an adult sheep model. This is a step toward developing transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement for patients with right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction.
