About this study
Official title: Evaluation of the Performance of the VenusP-ValveTM System in Patients with Native RVOT Dysfunction
A prospective, multi-center, non-randomized interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the VenusP-ValveTM System in patients with native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction.
Post procedure, a clinical visit will be scheduled at pre-discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, and annually thereafter to 10 years.
About 60 subjects will be enrolled in this study. Data analysis will be performed after all enrolled subjects complete 6-month follow-up and the primary endpoint analysis report will be submitted to FDA for PMA approval.
- Conditions
- Pulmonary Regurgitation
- Being tested
- Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI), VenusP-ValveTM System
- Medical subject headings
- Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency
What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI)Device
A valve is implanted through a catheter (a narrow tube) and inserted through the femoral vein into the right atrium, right ventricle and pulmonary artery. After careful positioning, the valve is implanted by inflating a set of a balloons on the delivery catheter or self-expanding. After the catheter has been removed, the incision is closed with stitches, which are removed after the area has healed.
VenusP-ValveTM SystemDevice
VenusP-ValveTM System consists of two components:
- Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV)
- Delivery System (DS) including Delivery Catheter System (DCS) and Compression Loading System (CLS) The TPV consists of a self-expanding nitinol stent with a single layer tri-leaflet porcine pericardium tissue.
For the Delivery Catheter System (DCS) , the distal (deployment) end of the system features an atraumatic, radiopaque tip. A protective sheath (capsule) covers and maintains the TPV in a crimped position. The handle at the proximal end of the catheter is used to load and deploy the TPV.
The CLS compresses the TPV into the catheter, which including capture tube, valve protection tube, tip support tube, loading mandrels and crimper.
