# Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Outcomes and Mechanisms of Dysfunction

## TL;DR

This paper reviews the outcomes and failure mechanisms of transcatheter pulmonary valves used in treating heart conditions.

## Contribution

The paper provides an updated review of outcomes and dysfunction mechanisms of transcatheter pulmonary valves.

## Key findings

- Multiple generations of transcatheter pulmonary valves have been developed for less invasive treatment.
- The paper summarizes the latest outcomes and failure mechanisms of these valves.

## Abstract

Since the initial use of transcatheter pulmonary valves (TPVs), various generations of balloon-expandable and self-expanding valves have become available to effectively treat dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), providing a less invasive alternative to surgery. In this review, we summarize the most up-to-date TPVR outcomes and mechanisms of TPV dysfunction.
