Case report: successful emergent transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement within failing pulmonary artery conduit in the setting of cardiogenic shock with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation support.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support with successful decannulation as a bridge to recovery in a young adult with complex congenital heart disease.

Case summary

We describe a 24-year-old male patient with a history of D-transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect status post-Rastelli repair at age three lost to follow-up and presenting with severe biventricular failure, left ventricular thrombus, and critical pulmonary conduit stenosis, deemed non-surgical and non-transplant candidate, who underwent conduit stenting and TPVR in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Upon intubation for general anaesthesia, the patien
