Authors' objectives:
Is percutaneous pulmonary valve insertion equivalent, or superior, to open surgery for dysfunctional subpulmonary homograft, regarding procedure related complications, hemodynamic variables, and health-related quality of life?
Authors' recommendations:
Percutaneous pulmonary valve insertion is less invasive, and a much more tolerable procedure for the patient, compared with open surgery with homograft. Despite 800 performed percutaneous pulmonary valve insertions worldwide , the evidence base is poor, and only two studies including some comparison with open surgery have been published so far. Considering the question if valved stent is equivalent, or superior, compared to open surgery the scientific support is insufficient regarding all the studied outcomes.
