Right ventricular outflow tract revalvulation using the Melody Valve: The next frontier

Congenital heart lesions with abnormal right ventricular outflow tract anatomy will require early surgical intervention. Re-intervention rates in these patients are high due to homograft degeneration. Until recently, surgery was the only treatment option for right ventricular outflow tract dysfuncti...
