Abstract

Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation has emerged as a non-surgical intervention for patients with right ventricular outflow tract dysfunction. Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare form of congenital heart disease characterized by atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance. The long-term follow-up and management of patients with this condition can pose significant challenges. In this article, we present the successful percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation in a 19-year-old patient with physiologically repaired congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries.
