CCPS implantation is a safe and effective strategy to treat or prevent RVOT conduit disruption during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support CCPS for RVOT conduit tears in TPVR; extends observational data but leaves open need for prospective trials.
Bishnoi et al. (2014) conducted an observational in Right ventricular outflow tract conduit disruption during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (n=251). NuMED Covered Cheatham-Platinum Stents (CCPS) was evaluated on Prevention or repair of conduit tears. NuMED Covered Cheatham-Platinum Stents successfully prevented or repaired right ventricular outflow tract conduit tears in 49 of 50 patients (98%) during transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement.
