Pediheart Podcast #59: Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement With The Sapien S3 Valve

This week we review a recent report on transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement with the Sapien S3 prosthesis. What are the circumstances in which this valve might be preferable versus other valve types? What are the disadvantages of this device? How can patients be effectively screened as candidates for different valves? How can decisions be made between self expanding systems like Harmony or Venus P versus this sort of device for large RVOT's? We review all of these issues and more with Dr. Daniel Levi of UCLA who offers a wonderful overview of transcatheter PVR in 2019. You will not want to miss his many insights. doi: 10.1002/ccd.27973
