New Tools in the Toolbox to Fix the Pulmonary Valve - 2021 Quality Summit presentation (Non-CE)-New Tools in the Toolbox to Fix the Pulmonary Valve-Chisolm

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Joanne Chisholm, the Director of Interventional Cardiology and Clinical Research Studies at the Heart Center of Nationwide Children's Hospital, gave a talk on the pulmonary valve and the new treatments available for fixing it. She discussed the most common congenital heart defect involving the pulmonary valve, which is tetralogy of Fallot with either pulmonary stenosis or pulmonary atresia. She also mentioned other defects that affect the pulmonary valve and the right ventricular outflow tract. Chisholm explained that there are different types of valves that can be used to fix the pulmonary valve, including homografts, xenografts, and bioprosthetic valves. She showed images of these valves and explained how they are implanted. She then discussed the transcatheter pulmonary valve options, which include the Melody valve and the Edwards Life Sciences Sapien 3 valve. Chisholm explained that these valves can be used in patients with dysfunctional RV to PA conduits or in patients with native right ventricular outflow tracts. She also provided information on the pre-procedure workup, indications for the procedure, and follow-up care for patients who receive transcatheter pulmonary valves. Overall, the talk provided an overview of the current options for fixing the pulmonary valve and highlighted the importance of continued follow-up care for these patients. The video transcript was summarized by an AI language model.
