Conditions

Dysfunctional Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) Conduit

Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to confirm the short-term hemodynamic effectiveness results achieved by real-world providers are equivalent to the historical control established in the IDE study.

Interventions

DEVICEMelody® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve

Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve replacement Transcatheter valve implantation into a RVOT conduit in patients with complex congenital heart defects where the conduit has become dysfunctional and where the patient needs invasive intervention.

Inclusion criteria

* Existence of a full (circumferential) RVOT conduit that was equal to or greater than 16 mm in diameter when originally implanted * Dysfunctional RVOT conduits with a clinical indication for intervention (regurgitation ≥ moderate regurgitation, Stenosis: mean RVOT gradient ≥ 35 mmHg)

Exclusion criteria

* Implantation in the aortic or mitral position * Venous anatomy unable to accommodate a 22-fr size introducer sheath * Obstruction of the central veins * Clinical or biological signs of infection including active endocarditis * Unwilling or unable to provide written informed consent or comply with the follow-up requirements

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Acceptable TPV Hemodynamic Function at Six Months After Successful TPV Implantation6 monthsAcceptable TPV hemodynamic function at six months after successful TPV implantation is determined as a composite of the following: * Mean RVOT gradient is less than or equal to 30 mmHg as measured by CW Doppler, and * Severity of pulmonary regurgitation is less than moderate by Doppler echocardiography, and * Free from RVOT conduit reoperation or catheter re-intervention at six months after TPV implantation. The endpoint is defined as the percentage of subjects with acceptable TPV hemodynamic function at six months after Melody valve implantation.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Procedural Success6 MonthsProcedural success is defined as a composite of the following: * The TPV is fixated within the desired location, and * The RV-PA peak-to-peak gradient measured in the catheterization lab after TPV implantation is less than 35 mmHg, and * There is no more than trivial pulmonary regurgitation by angiography * The subject is free from explantation of the TPV at 24 hours post-implant
Serious Procedural Adverse Events6 MonthsA procedure-related event is defined as an event that is associated with the implant procedure by the chronology or physiology and was caused by the implant procedure (e.g. rupture of the conduit or damage to an intra-cardiac or intravascular structure by the delivery system).
Serious Device-related Adverse Events6 monthsA device-related event is defined as an event that is associated with the TPV by the chronology or physiology and was caused by the the TPV (e.g. embolization of the TPV and any adverse events which follow).
Changes in NYHA Functional Classification6 MonthsChange in NYHA functional class from pre-implant to 6 month post-implant

Outcome results

Primary

Acceptable TPV Hemodynamic Function at Six Months After Successful TPV Implantation

Acceptable TPV hemodynamic function at six months after successful TPV implantation is determined as a composite of the following: * Mean RVOT gradient is less than or equal to 30 mmHg as measured by CW Doppler, and * Severity of pulmonary regurgitation is less than moderate by Doppler echocardiography, and * Free from RVOT conduit reoperation or catheter re-intervention at six months after TPV implantation. The endpoint is defined as the percentage of subjects with acceptable TPV hemodynamic function at six months after Melody valve implantation.

Time frame: 6 months

Population: The implanted \>24 hours cohort consists of all subjects who had a Melody TPV implanted which remained implanted for greater than 24 hours. Of this population those with evaluable echo data at 6 months post implant were included in the analysis.
