Abstract: | Stenting of the Shelhigh pulmonary conduit was performed 2 years after a Ross procedure because of a stenosis of the distal segment. We used the new Siemens Artis Zeego technology. A precise placement of the stent to release the stenosis within the distal segment simultaneously retaining a competent valve was possible by using the Dyna-computed tomography technology. The early onset of a stenosis of the Shelhigh xenograft in the pulmonary position is alarming, thus, its use can not be recommended for a replacement of the pulmonary valve. |
