English
Authors' recommendations: Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI), also referred to as transcatheter or catheter-based pulmonary valve implantation or replacement, is a minimally invasive heart surgery in patients with right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) defects. The procedure involves the deployment and placement of a pulmonary valve prosthesis via a catheter inserted into a vein. The purpose of PPVI is to delay the need for surgical repair of a dysfunctional RVOT.
