This novel procedure was performed by a team from the Department of Cardiology at the University Clinical Center, WUM, in two adults suffering from severe insufficiency of the pulmonary valve (i.e. the structure between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk). The implantable bioprosthetic valves ideally conform to the anatomical structure of the patient’s heart, which reduces the risk of such complications as paravalvular leaks.
