Hypothesis-generating for this novel valve in high-risk patients; prospective trials needed before clinical adoption.
Is transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation with a Med-Zenith PT-Valve feasible and safe in patients with a stenotic pulmonary conduit who are at high risk for re-operation?
First-in-human use of the Med-Zenith PT-Valve demonstrates feasibility and safety for transcatheter pulmonic valve implantation in high-risk patients with stenotic pulmonary conduits.
Gao et al. (2020) studied this question. Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation with the Med-Zenith PT-Valve is feasible and safe in patients with a stenotic pulmonary conduit at excessively high risk for surgical replacement.
