title: Percutaneous valve implantation in "tricuspid" position after a Fontan-Björk operation.
abstract: A 30-year-old female with tricuspid valve atresia, ventricular septal defect, and atrial septal defect had a neonatal modified Blalock Taussig shunt and a Fontan-Björk operation performed at five years of age. She did well initially but progressively developed signs of systemic congestion due to severe homograft stenosis and underwent successful percutaneous implantation of a Melody®pulmonary valve (Medtronic, Minneapolis, MN, USA) in the "tricuspid" position.
