Management of right ventricular outflow tract with percutaneous Melody valve implantation in pediatric patients: experience in a high complexity center in Colombia.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundCongenital heart disease poses a therapeutic challenge, specifically pulmonary valve stenosis. This has been treated for many years with invasive procedures and bioprostheses, which over time, become dysfunctional due to the accumulation of fibrous tissue and calcification.
objectiveThe aim of this study is to describe the use of endovascular management in the right ventricular outflow tract, as the beginning of an ongoing effot to improve pediatric outcomes in developing countries.
methodsSeven pediatric patients with endovascular management of the right outflow tract are presented. Three of them underwent surgical valvuloplasty with persistent pulmonary stenosis. They decided to insert a percutaneous transcatheter pulmonary valve (PPVI) with a Melody valve using the valve-in-valve technique, with 100% stenosis and no complications associated with the procedure.
resultsFour patients with successful percutaneous valve implantation had different congenital heart diseases. In addition, the case of a patient in whom an intentional pulmonary valve fracture was performed, an innovative procedure in pediatric endovascular management in the country, is highlighted.
conclusionsThe procedure was minimally invasive, safe, and effective. The IVPP technique could be a viable option in our country for managing failed primary valve implantations or even in native tracts.
