Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement technologies (including Medtronic Melody valve, SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve, and self-expanding valves)
This article provides a comprehensive review of current transcatheter pulmonary valve technologies, including valve design, screening, implantation procedures, and clinical outcomes.
Abstract
Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement was first performed by Dr Philip Bonhoeffer, who implanted a Medtronic Melody valve in a human in 2000. Over the past 2 decades, there have been many advances in transcatheter pulmonary valve technology. This includes the use of the SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve in the pulmonary position, modifications and refinements to valve implantation procedures, and development of self-expanding valves and prestents to treat large diameter native or patched right ventricular outflow tracts. This article reviews the current transcatheter pulmonary valve technologies with a focus on valve design, screening process, implant procedure, and clinical outcomes.
