Abstract
Transfemoral and right transjugular approach has been described for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI). However, the use of left transjugular approach through the left superior vena cava to coronary sinus has not been well described. We present a 22-year-old male with Tetralogy of Fallot status post transannular patch, who underwent successful TPVI using the Sapien valve, preceded by pre-stenting of native right ventricular outflow tract. All the transcatheter intervention was performed through the left superior vena cava to coronary sinus.
