4D Flow Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Uncovers the Cause of Bioprosthetic Pulmonary Valve Dysfunction

We present a case of a 20-year-old man with tetralogy of Fallot status post-repair with a transannular patch and left pulmonary artery reconstruction at age 1 and subsequent pulmonary valve replacement with bioprosthetic valve 3 years ago. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severe bioprosthetic...

Sumario:We present a case of a 20-year-old man with tetralogy of Fallot status post-repair with a transannular patch and left pulmonary artery reconstruction at age 1 and subsequent pulmonary valve replacement with bioprosthetic valve 3 years ago. A transthoracic echocardiogram revealed severe bioprosthetic valve insufficiency. Cardiac magnetic resonance with 4-dimensional flow revealed a paravalvular leak. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
