Abstract

The implantation of a homograft in pulmonary position is commonly used to resolve the obstruction of the outfl ow tract of the right ventricle in various forms of complex congenital heart diseases. Unfortunately often they have dysfunction mainly due to stenosis, leading to indicate its replacement with a consequent increase in morbidity and mortality of repeated surgeries. Angioplasty with stent homograft appears as a therapeutic option to prolong the useful life and to postpone surgery. We report the case of a young woman who required multiple interventions for correction of pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect.
