Abstract
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is an attractive option for patients with pulmonary valve insufficiency or stenotic right ventricular outflow tracts. We present the case of a 26-year-old patient in which PPVI was used to treat d-transposition of the great arteries, uncommon coronary artery anatomy, and conduit stenosis that resulted from multiple operations on the right outflow. Days after discharge to home, she experienced acute chest discomfort correlating with ischemia noted on an electrocardiogram and elevated troponin levels. Coronary angiography confirmed mechanical compression of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The valve was removed in an emergency operation and replaced with a biological conduit.
