Who needs the pulmonary valve procedure?
This procedure was introduced by Professor Bonhoeffer’s team at Great Ormond Street Hospital to help young people and children born with heart defects, especially those born without a connection between the pulmonary artery and the right ventricle of the heart. Usually many operations are needed throughout their lives to fix the problem. This is because of their rapid growth. The average child needing this technique will have had open-heart surgery three times before.
