What is Atypical Pulmonary Emoblus: A Case Of A Migrating Pulmonic Valve about?

Background: Transcatheter heart valve embolization (THVE) is a rare occurrence that can present with various symptoms. Thus, there is a lack of evidence-based guidance for optimal management. Case: A 25-year-old female with a history of tetralogy of fallot presented with progressive dyspnea, hemoptysis, and chest pain. She had a repair as a newborn and required pulmonic valve replacement as an adult. Years later, her valve was found to have embolized and a second valve replacement was performed without removal of her embolized valve, as she was asymptomatic. Evaluation for the cause of her symptoms included a RHC, coronary CTA, CTA chest, and TEE. The results indicated severe PI due to elevated pulmonary pressures caused by obstruction of the pulmonary circulation by the THVE.
