Transcatheter pulmonary valve-in-valve implantation within the expandable Inspiris Resilia (R) bioprosthetic valve

Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is a common intervention for patients with repaired congenital heart disease. A key issue relates to the presence of an appropriately sized implantation zone for the transcatheter valve. We report the first case, to our knowledge, of TPVI within the newly engineered Inspiris Resilia (R) bioprosthetic valve, intentionally designed with a balloon-expandable valve ring (a.k.a. VFit zone) for prospective valve implantation.
