INDICATIONS FOR INTERVENTION
Typical guidelines for consideration of TPVR are similar to those for surgical pulmonary valve replacement. Moderate-to-severe RVOT obstruction (mean Doppler gradient .35 to 40 mmHg), moderate-to-severe pulmonary regurgitation, presence of clinical symptomatol­ogy/New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional status, arrhythmia burden, and RV size and function should be evaluated when deciding to proceed with TPVR. Two systems are currently approved in the United States by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treatment of dysfunctional surgical RVOT conduits or bioprosthetic valves: Melody (Medtronic, Inc. Minneapolis, MN, approved in 2010) and Edwards Sapien XT (Edwards Lifesciences, Inc., Irvine, CA, approved in 2016). However, it is estimated that only a small percentage of patients in need of RVOT therapy may be suitable for currently approved TPVR systems. Therefore off-label use of currently approved systems is commonplace. Clinical trials are being conducted to evaluate the Edwards Sapien 3 valve in the pulmonary position, as are trials of newly designed self-expanding stented valve systems to treat the dilated “native” RVOT with severe pulmonary regurgitation (such as the Alterra Adaptive Prestent [Edwards] designed for Sapien implant and the Harmony Valve [Medtronic, Inc].
AHA Guidelines
Recommendations in TOF
Pulmonary valve replacement (surgical or percutaneous) for relief
of symptoms is recommended for patients with repaired TOF and moderate or greater pulmonary regurgitation (PR) with cardiovascular symptoms not otherwise explained
Pulmonary valve replacement (surgical or percutaneous) is reasonable
for preservation of ventricular size and function in asymptomatic patients with repaired TOF and ventricular enlargement or dysfunction and moderate or greater PR
Recommendations in Isolated PR After Repair of PS
In symptomatic patients with moderate or greater PR resulting
from treated isolated pulmonary stenosis with RV dilatation or RV dysfunction, pulmonary valve replacement is recommended

Preprocedure Planning
Once a decision is made to proceed with TPVR, careful multimodality imaging assessment of the RVOT is necessary. Computed tomography with angiography (CTA) is useful for preprocedural imaging in most patients. Careful attention to the anatomy of the RVOT and PA branches is necessary, in addition to evaluation of surrounding cardiac structures, such as coronary artery origins and course in relationship to the RVOT and anticipated implant site. Three-dimensional reconstruction is useful for procedural planning, and evaluation of PA branch anatomy is recom­mended to determine if branch stent implantation will be needed. It is estimated that approxi­mately 5% of patients who undergo this type of RVOT intervention are at risk for coronary compression, especially those patients in whom coronary artery manipulation or reimplantation has been performed (e.g., Ross procedure).
Device selection is typically based on the size of the existing RVOT conduit or bioprosthetic valve. The Melody valve is designed for implantation using the 22F Ensemble II delivery system (Medtronic, Inc., Minneapolis, MN), which comes with 18-, 20-, and 22-mm implant balloon diameters. The approved Sapien XT is available in 20-, 23-, 26-, and 29-mm diameters and is

implanted on the NovaFlex catheter system; however, in many institutions at this time the Sapien S3 is being used in an off-label fashion.
Basic Procedure
General anesthesia is typically used for complex RVOT intervention and valve implantation; however, deep sedation in the adult congenital patient may be preferred to maintain baseline he­modynamics. The femoral approach is typical, although internal jugular access can be utilized. A 14 French sheath for initial right heart hemodynamics, angiography, and potential balloon inter­rogation of the RVOT should be sufficient. Once a decision is made to proceed with valve therapy, this can be changed to a large-bore venous access; a 22 French Edwards dry seal will accommodate the Melody valve Ensemble delivery system. We recommend a 65-cm 26 French Edwards dry seal sheath positioned into the RVOT/pulmonary annulus landing zone for Sapien implantation. A large-bore venous sheath is placed, and the patient is fully heparinized to maintain an activated clotting time (ACT) greater than 250 seconds. Additional venous access is planned depending on the need for angiography and/or pacing during prestent or valve deployment. Preprocedure anti­biotics are administered. Arterial access is necessary for aortic root angiography, selective coronary angiography, and arterial pressure monitoring during intervention.
Standard right heart catheterization is performed along with angiographic assessment of the
RVOT. RV angiography may be performed with a standard balloon-tipped angiographic or a pigtail catheter; alternatively, a multitrack catheter can be used for injection over the guidewire if this wire is positioned before angiography (Fig. 28.4). A balloon-tipped wedge catheter is used to achieve a distal position in a branch PA for anchoring of the exchange guidewire. The use of an angled Glidewire through the end hole of the wedge catheter facilitates positioning deep into a lower lobe PA branch; some prefer the left PA, as it is easier to visualize the wire tip during subsequent catheter manipulations. A 0.0350 exchange-length stiff guidewire is positioned into the distal PA branch (such as the Lunderquist [Cook, Bloomington, IN]).

Depending on the nature of the existing RVOT conduit, preparation with prestenting may be necessary. Stenting should be performed when planning Melody valve implantation into a nonstented conduit, such as a homograft, to minimize the risk of subsequent Melody valve stent fracture that may lead to structural failure over time. Implantation of a longer bare-metal stent may provide a better “landing zone” for the shorter Sapien XT valve, but prestenting is not necessary to provide support for the frame of this valve. It is not common in our practice to prestent for preparation when implanting a Sapien valve. Certain types of bioprosthetic valves can be fractured prior to TPVR; typically a high-pressure balloon 1 mm larger than the labeled valve size is utilized. This allows expansion of the surgical valve to accommodate a slightly larger implant. In general, when implanting into a bioprosthetic valve, a prestent is not necessary. However, certain types of bioprosthetic valves may be fractured with high-pressure balloon dilation prior to TPVR to allow better expansion of implanted valve. Tips:
1. Guidewire position is critical: Care to achieve a secure distal wire position in a deep PA
branch will facilitate RVOT intervention, especially in the setting of significant conduit stenosis. The left lower lobe PA is often preferred.
2. Gentle inflation of the balloon on the wedge catheter in the distal PA during
guidewire positioning can help secure the most distal position for a stiff exchange guidewire.
3. Serial inflation of noncompliant balloons in a stenotic/calcified RVOT homograft con-
duit, beginning with a diameter approximately 110% of the minimum existing conduit diameter, is usually necessary to avoid conduit tear or rupture. Angiographic assessment between serial inflations should be performed to evaluate conduit disruption, and increas­ing balloon size should be performed in a small, stepwise fashion to avoid significant disruption. If early conduit disruption is seen and coronary artery anatomy is unfavorable
surgery for definitive therapy. Otherwise, full rehabilitation of the conduit should be achieved before Melody valve implantation with high-pressure, noncompliant balloon dilation of final stents to evaluate for recoil. Additional bare-metal stents may be needed to prevent conduit recoil once a covered stent is implanted.
4. Covered stents (i.e., Cheatham Platinum Stent System, B. Braun Medical, Inc., Bethlehem, PA)
should be available to the operator, particularly when rehabilitating a significantly narrowed conduit, such as a homograft, where significant conduit disruption can result in fatal hemorrhage if not able to be treated rapidly.
5. Selective coronary angiography may be necessary during RVOT balloon inflation to evalu-
ate the potential for compression if precatheterization CTA or baseline coronary angiogra­phy suggests risk with coronary proximity to the landing zone of the planned TPVR. The use of more dilute contrast in the RVOT balloon will allow visualization of the coronary artery during angiography. Often, a very “laid-back” view of the RVOT with caudal angula­tion showing the left coronary artery beneath is helpful (Fig. 28.5A and B). The patient who has undergone a Ross procedure or coronary reimplantation/manipulation may be at higher risk of this complication.
6. For optimal TPVR function, nearly complete relief of the RVOT gradient is best. This
is accomplished with placement of serial bare-metal stents (and/or covered stent de­pending on the nature of the conduit) to the point that there is minimal stent recoil upon deflation of the stent deployment balloon (Fig. 28.6). Therefore, during stent deploy­ment, the response of the stent should be evaluated during balloon deflation, not just during inflation.

7. Implantation of either the Melody or Sapien into an existing bioprosthetic valve is rela-
tively straightforward and may be treated as a typical valve-in-valve procedure (Fig. 28.7).
Any conduit stenosis beyond the existing bioprosthetic valve should be treated with
stent implantation, but stenting of the bioprosthetic valve before TPVR is not generally
necessary.

tioning of the valve into the RVOT, also to avoid damage to tricuspid apparatus (tricuspid
valve and RVOT crossed with balloon catheter to prevent catheter course through valve
chordae) (Fig. 28.8).

Potential Procedural Complications
All planned TPVR procedures should be considered with potential complications in mind. As previ­ously mentioned, coronary artery compression may be the most significant, potentially fatal complica­tion of RVOT intervention. Other complications that can occur with deployment of a transcatheter valve include (but are not limited to) vascular injury, valve embolization, jailing of PA branches, and distal PA complications due to wire perforation. Therefore a skilled heart team approach is necessary for successful implementation of a transcatheter pulmonary valve program. Surgical backup and potential mechanical support should be available, particularly for the high-risk patient.

Postprocedure Management
Noninvasive echocardiography is essential for documentation of baseline TPVR function, deter­mination of Doppler gradient, degree of valvular regurgitation, and follow-up of RV size and function. As RV remodeling occurs after pulmonary valve insertion, tricuspid valve regurgitation may improve. Serial imaging is necessary, with annual follow-up recommended. For patients who underwent significant RVOT rehabilitation, including the placement of multiple stents before valve implantation, routine chest radiography should be performed, with consideration of peri­odic fluoroscopic imaging to evaluate stent integrity, particularly if valve dysfunction is suspected or seen. All patients should be treated with antiplatelet therapy, typically aspirin, and should observe lifelong infective endocarditis precautions. Valve durability is expected to be similar to surgically placed bioprosthetic valves.
Summary
n
Percutaneous PBA is safe and effective, with acute success rates between 80% and 90%.
n
TPVR therapy is now an important part of intervention for patients with both congenital
and acquired pulmonary valve dysfunction.
n
Interventions should be performed by a pediatric interventional specialist or as part of a
multidisciplinary structural heart team that includes an experienced pediatric congenital interventionalist.

Introduction
Cardiac pseudoaneurysms are an uncommon occurrence; however, they are associated with sig­nificant risk of complications. or myocardial wall. A single layer of pericardium or adhesions lines the sac, increasing the risk of rupture and cardiac mortality approaching 30% to 50%. rysm, which is thinning of the wall and contains all three layers of the endocardium, myocardium, and epicardium.
Previously, surgical management of pseudoaneurysms was considered the gold standard; however, it is associated with significant mortality approaching 23%. structural heart procedures has helped in identifying percutaneous solutions for the manage­ment of pseudoaneurysms in patients who otherwise have high surgical risk. This chapter will discuss the various techniques and approaches for the diagnosis and management of pseudoaneurysms.

Retrospective studies have suggested that many patients are asymptomatic, with diagnosis made as an incidental finding on imaging. failure, chest pain, syncope, arrhythmias, or thromboembolism (Table 29.1). Recently, cases re- lated to wire perforations/injury during structural heart procedures such as transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and mitral valve replacements have also been reported.
The left ventricle (LV) is the most common location of pseudoaneurysms. The etiology of LV pseudoaneurysms is variable according to the location. Myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common etiology, usually leading to an inferior-posterolateral scar and subsequent pseudoaneu­rysm formation. Cardiovascular surgery is the second most common cause. Right ventricular pseudoaneurysm is frequently seen with congenital surgeries, and paravalvular pseudoaneurysm,

including mitral-aortic intervalvular fibrosa,8 can result as a complication from valve surgery or endocarditis.
Other causes of LV pseudoaneurysms include trauma to the chest, endocardial electrophysi-
ologic procedures, and structural heart procedures such as TAVR.

Aortic pseudoaneurysms may occur after aortic repairs, trauma, or endarteritis. Coronary artery
pseudoaneurysms can be related to prior percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), vasculitis, or spontaneous dissection.
Diagnosis
In the contemporary era, multimodality imaging is the key for diagnosis and procedural planning in pseudoaneurysms. in the past and still has an important role in the assessment of the defect during percutaneous closure. Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) is usually the initial test in most patients. Trans­esophageal echocardiogram, especially 3D modality, may be helpful in some cases to assess the size, depth, and surrounding cardiac structures. Computed tomography (CT) scan with full 3D reconstruction or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging is almost always performed to carefully plan any intervention by studying the following (Figs. 29.1 to 29.3):
n
Precise pseudoaneurysm location to determine the best access approach (e.g., retroaortic,
transseptal, transapical)
n
Size and extent of pseudoaneurysm and its neck to determine closure device size and type
n
Risk of interaction of occluder device with surrounding structures (e.g., risk of valve
impingement and risk of coronary occlusion or compression)
The field of 3D printing further enhanced preprocedural planning and management of pseu-
doaneurysms. Patient-specific 3D printed cardiac models with cardiac tissue characteristics have allowed for bench testing to simulate closure procedures and reduce the rate of trial and error (Fig. 29.4).
