Congenital heart diseases(CHD)that involve the right ventricular outflow tract(RVOT) dysfunction are common. Surgical repair involves early relief of RVOT obstruction, which typically results in pulmonary stenosis or regurgitation and may ultimately lead to RV failure and dysrhythmias. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement(TPVR) is now available to treat certain patients with RVOT dysfunction.Venus P-Valve(Venus MedTech Inc., Hangzhou, China), as the first self-expansive TPVR product approved for marketing in China and Europe, is more suitable for the disease characteristics of Chinese people.The procedure is carried out almost exclusively via the transfemoral approach. However, in some patients transfemoral delivery of Venus P-valve is not technically feasible(e.g., occluded inferior vena cava or tortuous/obstructive iliofemoral venous anatomy).The technical considerations and challenges of the Venus P-valve procedure are amplified when an alternate route is considered. We describe a successful case of Venus P-valve performed via the right internal jugular approach in a patient due to interruption of the inferior vena cava with azygos vein dilation. |
