This paper presents a review of the current state of the method of transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation. The procedureis associated with a high procedural success rate and favourable parameters of immediate and persistent reduction in the RVOTgradient as well as with low rates of postprocedural regurgitation. Owing to its less invasive nature, it has become a safe andeffective catheter-based alternative to surgical treatment of RVOT conduit dysfunction. As novel types of implantable valves arebecoming available, it can be expected that the indications for this method will be expanded to include even those patients inwhom this procedure is not currently feasible because of unsuitable morphology.
