Pulsta® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Korean Multicenter Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Pulmonary Valve; Insufficiency, Congenital
Congenital Heart Defect
Pulmonary Valve Stenosis
Interventions
Device: Pulsta® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) Replacement
Registration Number
NCT03110861
Lead Sponsor
Taewoong Medical Co., Ltd.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the TPV in patients with pulmonary valve dysfunction.

Detailed Description

The TPV is indicated for use in patients with previous undergone replacement of bioprosthetic valve or conduit due to either pulmonary valve atresia, stenosis, regurgitation or a combination of them and present with dysfunctional right ventricular ourflow tract (RVOT) requiring treatment for severe pulmonary regurgitation and/or RVOT conduit obstruction. Consecutive subject data should be collected at discharge, 1, 3, 6 month, and 1-5 years post TPV implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hemodynamic functional improvement at 6month6 months

Hemodynamic functional improvement is defined as mean RVOT gradient ≤30 mmHg by continuous wave doppler, and a pulmonary regurgitant fraction \<20% by cardiac magnetic resonance (MR).

Procedural / Device related serious adverse events at 6month6 months
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Procedural success5 days

Procedural success is defined as the TPV implant within desired position, Right ventricle-Pulmonary artery (RV-PA) peak systolic pressure gradient \<35mmHg by catheter, less mild pulmonary regurgitation by angiography, and freedom from explantation of the TPV at 24 hours post-implant.

Hemodynamic function5 years

Hemodynamic function will be measured including peak RVOT pressure gradient, mean RVOT pressure gradient, RV-PA pressure gradient, RV pressure, cardiac output, cardiac index, RV end-diastolic volume by echocardiography, cardiac MR, or catheterization.

Severity of pulmonary regurgitation5 years
New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification5 years
Catheter reintervention on TPV5 years
Reoperation5 years
Death (all cause / procedural / device-related)5 years
Stent fracture5 years

Stent fracture will be assessed by the investigator through radiography (X-ray, Fluoroscopy).

Other adverse events5 years
Procedural / Device related serious adverse events5 years
Pulmonary regurgitant fraction6 months

Pulmonary regurgitant fraction will be measured by cardiac MRI.
