DOI: 10.4103/apc.apc_143_18
Abstract: Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement using Melody valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis MN) has significantly increased in the recent decades. Melody valve failures, although rare, can be problematic and require re-intervention. Through intracardiac echocardiography, we present two patients… read more here.
