Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hybrid approach to pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in the paediatric population has been reported, although data in infants and small children are limited. Several strategies are now possible. The aim of this study is to review our hybrid PVR strategy in a complex patient cohort, outlining a variety of approaches employed in our centre. METHODS We performed a retrospective review of infants and small children who underwent hybrid PVR between May 2017 and April 2019 in a single tertiary cardiology centre. Medical records were reviewed to ascertain demographic, clinical and outcome data. RESULTS Ten patients with a median (interquartile range) age of 1.5 years (1.1-1.9) and weight of 8.8 kg (8-10.6) were managed with hybrid pulmonary valve insertion. Eight patients had perventricular approach (4 sternotomy and 4 subxiphoid) and 2 patients had surgically sutured valve. Six patients underwent cardiopulmonary bypass for associated lesions. Three had insertion of the valve into conduits and 7 were deployed into native right ventricular outflow tracts. The pulmonary valve was successfully inserted in all 10 patients with no mortality. Postprocedural complications included paravalvar leak in 2 patients, suspected endocarditis in 1 patient who developed early valve regurgitation and wound infection in 1 patient. CONCLUSIONS Several approaches to hybrid PVR may be employed in small children with a high success rate. Follow-up studies are required to evaluate longer term durability of these approaches compared to standard surgical replacement.

Comparison of the investigational device exemption and post-approval trials of the Melody transcatheter pulmonary valve. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv 2021; 98:E262-E274.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We compared 5-year outcomes of transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) replacement with the Melody TPV in the post-approval study (PAS) and the investigational device exemption (IDE) trial. BACKGROUND As a condition of approval of the Melody TPV after the IDE trial, the Food and Drug Administration required that a PAS be conducted to evaluate outcomes of TPV replacement in a "real-world" environment. The 5-year outcomes of the PAS have not been published, and the IDE and PAS trials have not been compared. METHODS The cohorts comprised all patients catheterized and implanted at 5 IDE sites and 10 PAS sites. Differences in trial protocols were detailed. Time-related outcomes and valve-related adverse events were compared between the two trials with Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank testing. RESULTS 167 patients (median age, 19 years) were catheterized and 150 underwent TPV replacement in the IDE trial; 121 were catheterized (median age, 17 years) and 100 implanted in the PAS. Freedom from hemodynamic dysfunction (p = .61) or any reintervention (p = .74) over time did not differ between trials. Freedom from stent fracture (p = .003) and transcatheter reintervention (p = .010) were longer in PAS, whereas freedom from explant (p = .020) and TPV endocarditis (p = .007) were shorter. Clinically important adverse events (AEs) were reported in 14% of PAS and 7.2% of IDE patients (p = .056); the incidence of any particular event was low in both. CONCLUSIONS Hemodynamic and time-related outcomes in the PAS and IDE trials were generally similar, confirming the effectiveness of the Melody TPV with real-world providers. There were few significant complications and limited power to identify important differences in AEs. The lack of major differences in outcomes between the two studies questions the usefulness of mandated costly post-approval studies as part of the regulatory process for Class III medical devices.

Abstract
Background: The folded valve is a manual shortening of the Melody device, which has been validated as a valuable therapeutic option for the management of dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts needing a short valved stent. In this article, we aimed to evaluate, in a multicenter cohort, the mid-term outcomes of patients in whom a percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation was performed using the folded valve technique. Methods: A 2012 to 2018 retrospective multicenter study was performed in 7 European institutions. All patients who benefit from percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation with a folded Melody valve were included. Results: A total of 49 patients (median age, 19 years [range 4–56], 63% male) were included. The primary percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation indication was right ventricular outflow tract stenosis (n=19; 39%), patched native right ventricular outflow tracts were the most common substrate (n=15; 31%). The folded technique was mostly used in short right ventricular outflow tracts (n=28; 57%). Procedural success was 100%. After a median follow-up of 28 months (range, 4–80), folded Melody valve function was comparable to the immediate postimplantation period (mean transvalvular peak velocity=2.6±0.6 versus 2.4±0.6 m/s, P>0.1; only 2 patients had mild pulmonary regurgitation). Incidence rate of valve-related reinterventions was 2.1% per person per year (95% CI, 0.1%–3.9%). The probability of survival without valve-related reinterventions at 36 months was 90% (95% CI, 76%–100%). Conclusions: The folded Melody valve is a safe technique with favorable mid-term outcomes up to 6.5 years after implantation, comparable with the usual Melody valve implantation procedure. Complications and reinterventions rates were low, making this technique relevant in selected patients.

Abstract
In congenital heart surgery, the surgeon must constantly consider how a palliative or corrective procedure could be impacted by the child's somatic growth. Within pediatric valve surgery, existing valve repair techniques lack growth-accommodating prostheses. Valve replacement options are fixed in size and unable to grow with the child, thus subjecting children to repeated valve reoperations. When creating a systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt, replacing a branch pulmonary artery or conduit, creating an extracardiac Fontan pathway, or banding the pulmonary artery, the implant size must factor in both the child's current size and his or her anticipated growth. A variety of growth-accommodating technologies have been developed to fill this unmet need. Some devices have reached the clinical arena, while several are in preclinical development. The purpose of this review is to characterize the clinical need for growing device technology, and then review established and developing technologies for growth accommodation in congenital heart surgery.

Abstract
Heterograft and artificial materials have been used for extracardiac conduit implantation to create right ventricular (RV) to pulmonary artery (PA) continuity for biventricular repair in Japan because of the limited availability of homograft valves. However, few studies have examined morphological changes and number of candidates for transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) in which the conduit includes more than one type of material. Overall, 88 patients who underwent biventricular repair with an external conduit were included in this evaluation. Based on catheterization data and surgical records, we estimated morphological change in the RV outflow tract for each material and the number of candidates for Melody valve implantation based on premarket approval application criteria established by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. There were 63 candidates for TPVI (72%, 63/88). Median anteroposterior and lateral diameter of the RV outflow tract was 20.4 mm (range 9.0-41.5) and 17.8 mm (range 9.5-34.9), respectively. Bovine pericardium tended to dilate by 11.2%. Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE), homograft, and Dacron polyethylene terephthalate (PET) tended to become stenotic by 11.1%, 28.0%, and 13.4%, respectively. While ePTFE (27/33, 82%) and Dacron PET (2/2, 100%) were highly suitable for TPVI, bovine pericardium (32/48, 67%) was less suitable. In Japan, many patients with hemodynamic indications for TPVI following extracardiac conduit implantation to create RV to PA continuity may also meet the morphological indications.

Abstract
The pulmonary valve (PV) has historically been ignored by imaging studies. Disorders of the PV encountered in adult cardiac patients are increasingly encountered due to advanced care of patients with congenital heart disease and associated PV diseases. Despite advances in PV imaging, multiple challenges remain when it comes to obtaining high quality PV images. While 2D TTE is the usual initial imaging tool for PV, excellent views of the PV annulus and its one or two leaflets are obtained in less than half of patients. The 3D echocardiography en face view allows all three leaflets to be evaluated concurrently, as well as assessments of the RV outflow tract and main pulmonary artery, which has improved quantitative assessment of PV diseases. Increasing image quality and experience with live/real time 3D TEE amplifies its utility in accurate evaluation and helps guide and monitor successful percutaneous PV interventions. 2D TTE remains the first line diagnostic tool; however, 3D TTE and 3D TEE provide better image quality which increases diagnostic accuracy and guidance to therapy. In this review article, we stress improvement in 3D echocardiography and its role in diagnostic and therapeutic options for PV diseases.

Abstract
We describe our experience with aortic root distortion in transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI). Aortic root distortion (AD) can be observed with balloon angioplasty of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), but its long-term significance is unknown. This has been a common finding in our institution, though not fully appreciated in our early experience. Retrospective review of procedural angiograms prior to TPVI and follow up imaging was performed. Between June 2012 and October 2017, 47 patients underwent catheterization to attempt TPVI. Five patients had coronary compression which precluded TPVI (one with significant AD as well). Four patients had significant AD and did not receive TPVI. Of the remaining 38 successful TPVI, 20 had adequate imaging to assess the aortic root. Four patients had severe AD, 7 had mild AD, and 9 with no AD. Severity of AI did not correlate with degree of AD. Median follow up after TPVI was 46 months (IQR 21-67). Of the 4 patients with severe AD who received TPVI, 1 has new mild AI with 78 months follow up. Of the 18 patients who received TPVI without adequate arch imaging, 2 patients have new mild AI with 86 and 75 months follow up. AD during RVOT angioplasty is a relatively common finding. In our early experience, some patients who were retrospectively identified to have severe AD received TPVI. These patients have done well, though further data is needed before considering severe AD a benign finding.

Abstract
Current paediatric valve replacement options cannot compensate for somatic growth, leading to an obstruction of flow as the child outgrows the prosthesis. This often necessitates an increase in revision surgeries, leading to legacy issues into adulthood. An expandable valve concept was modelled with an inverse relationship between annulus size and height, to retain the leaflet geometry without requiring additional intervention. Parametric design modelling was used to define certain valve parameter aspect ratios in relation to the base radius, Rb, including commissural radius, Rc, valve height, H and coaptation height, x. Fluid-structure simulations were subsequently carried out using the Immersed Boundary method to radially compress down the fully expanded aortic valve whilst subjecting it to diastolic and systolic loading cycles. Leaflet radial displacements were analysed to determine if valve performance is likely to be compromised following compression. Work is ongoing to optimise valvular parameter design for the paediatric patient cohort.

Abstract
Perventricular pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) of a xenograft valve can be a less invasive technique that avoids cardiopulmonary bypass in patients who require pulmonary valve replacement. We compared the hemodynamics, durability, and histologic changes between two different xenogenic valves (pericardial vs. aortic valve porcine xenografts) implanted into the pulmonary valve position using a PPVI technique and evaluated the safety and efficacy of PPVI as a preclinical study. In 18 sheep, pericardial (group porcine pericardial [PP], n = 9) or aortic valve (group porcine aortic valve [PAV], n = 9) xenogenic porcine valves manufactured as a stented valve were implanted using a PPVI technique. The porcine tissues were decellularized, alpha-galactosidase treated, fixed with glutaraldehyde after space-filler treatment, and detoxified to improve durability. Hemodynamic and immunohistochemical studies were performed after the implantation; radiologic and histologic studies were performed after a terminal procedure. All stented valves were positioned properly after the implantation, and echocardiography and cardiac catheterization demonstrated good hemodynamic state and function of the valves. All the anti-α-Gal IgM and IgG titers were below 0.3 optical density. Computed tomography of extracted valves demonstrated no significant differences in the degree of calcification between the two groups (P = .927). Microscopic findings revealed a minimal amount of calcification and no significant infiltration of macrophage or T-cell in both groups, regardless of the implantation duration. The PPVI is a feasible technique. Both stented valves made of PP and PAV showed no significant differences in hemodynamic profile, midterm durability, and degree of degenerative dystrophic calcification.

Acute and midterm outcomes of the post-approval MELODY Registry: a multicentre registry of transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation. Eur Heart J 2020; 40:2255-2264. [PMID: 31005985 DOI: 10.1093/eurheartj/ehz201] [Citation(s) in RCA: 55] [Impact Index Per Article: 13.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2018] [Revised: 08/14/2018] [Accepted: 04/03/2019] [Indexed: 11/14/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS The post-approval MELODY Registry aimed to obtain multicentre registry data after transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) with the Melody™ valve (Medtronic plc.) in a large-scale cohort of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS AND RESULTS Retrospective analysis of multicentre registry data after TPVI with the Melody™ valve. Eight hundred and forty-five patients (mean age: 21.0 ± 11.1 years) underwent TPVI in 42 centres between December 2006 and September 2013 and were followed-up for a median of 5.9 years (range: 0-11.0 years). The composite endpoint of TPVI-related events during follow-up (i.e. death, reoperation, or reintervention >48 h after TPVI) showed an incidence rate of 4.2% per person per year [95% confidence interval (CI) 3.7-4.9]. Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation infective endocarditis (I.E.) showed an incidence rate of 2.3% per person per year (95% CI 1.9-2.8) and resulted in significant morbidity and in nine deaths. In multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, the invasively measured residual right ventricle (RV)-to-pulmonary artery (PA) pressure gradient (per 5 mmHg) was associated with the risk of the composite endpoint (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.21, 95% CI 1.12-1.30; P < 0.0001) and the risk of TPVI I.E. (adjusted hazard ratio: 1.19, 95% CI 1.07-1.32; P = 0.002). Major procedural complications (death, surgical, or interventional treatment requirement) occurred in 0.5%, 1.2%, and 2.0%, respectively. Acutely, the RV-to-PA pressure gradient and the percentage of patients with pulmonary regurgitation grade >2 improved significantly from 36 [interquartile range (IQR) 24-47] to 12 (IQR 7-17) mmHg and 47 to 1%, respectively (P < 0.001 for each). CONCLUSION The post-approval MELODY Registry confirms the efficacy of TPVI with the Melody™ valve in a large-scale cohort of CHD patients. The residual invasively measured RV-to-PA pressure gradient may serve as a target for further improvement in the composite endpoint and TPVI I.E. However, TPVI I.E. remains a significant concern causing significant morbidity and mortality.

Abstract
Pulmonary regurgitation is the most important sequellae after correction of Tetralogy of Fallot and has a considerable impact over the right ventricle. Surgery has demonstrated low early mortality after pulmonary valve replacement and good long-term outcomes, remaining nowadays the gold standard treatment of pulmonary regurgitation in rTOF patients. Nevertheless, transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation has emerged as a new, safe and efficient alternative to surgical valve replacement. In this review article, we try to evaluate and compare both techniques to find out which is the best therapeutic option in this patients.

Early Outcomes of Percutaneous Pulmonary Valve Implantation with Pulsta and Melody Valves: The First Report from Korea. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9092769.

Abstract
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is used to treat pulmonary stenosis (PS) or pulmonary regurgitation (PR). We described our experience with PPVI, specifically valve-in-valve transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement using the Melody valve and novel self-expandable systems using the Pulsta valve. We reviewed data from 42 patients undergoing PPVI. Twenty-nine patients had Melody valves in mostly bioprosthetic valves, valved conduits, and homografts in the pulmonary position. Following Melody valve implantation, the peak right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery gradient decreased from 51.3 ± 11.5 to 16.7 ± 3.3 mmHg and right ventricular systolic pressure fell from 70.0 ± 16.8 to 41.3 ± 17.8 mmHg. Thirteen patients with native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) lesions and homograft underwent PPVI with the new self-expandable Pulsta valve—a nitinol wire stent mounted with a trileaflet porcine pericardial valve. Following Pulsta valve implantation, cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed a decreased PR fraction and that the right ventricular end-diastolic volume index decreased from 166.1 ± 11.9 to 123.6 ± 12.4 mL/m2. There were no mortality, severe procedural morbidity, or valve-related complications. At the mean 14.2 month (4–57 months) follow-up, no patients had more than mild PR. PPVI using Melody and Pulsta valves was first shown to provide excellent early outcomes without serious adverse event in most patients with RVOT dysfunction in Korea.

The Compensatory Reserve Index Responds to Acute Hemodynamic Changes in Patients with Congenital Heart Disease: A Proof of Concept Study. Pediatr Cardiol 2020; 41:1190-1198.

Abstract
Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) who undergo cardiac procedures may become hemodynamically unstable. Predictive algorithms that utilize dense physiologic data may be useful. The compensatory reserve index (CRI) trends beat-to-beat progression from normovolemia (CRI = 1) to decompensation (CRI = 0) in hemorrhagic shock by continuously analyzing unique sets of features in the changing pulse photoplethysmogram (PPG) waveform. We sought to understand if the CRI accurately reflects changing hemodynamics during and after a cardiac procedure for patients with CHD. A transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TcPVR) model was used because left ventricular stroke volume decreases upon sizing balloon occlusion of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and increases after successful valve placement. A single-center, prospective cohort study was performed. The CRI was continuously measured to determine the change in CRI before and after RVOT occlusion and successful TcPVR. Twenty-six subjects were enrolled with a median age of 19 (interquartile range (IQR) 13-29) years. The mean (± standard deviation) CRI decreased from 0.66 ± 0.15 1-min before balloon inflation to 0.53 ± 0.16 (p = 0.03) 1-min after balloon deflation. The mean CRI increased from a pre-valve mean CRI of 0.63 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.56-0.70] to 0.77 (95% CI 0.71-0.83) after successful TcPVR. In this study, the CRI accurately reflected acute hemodynamic changes associated with TcPVR. Further research is justified to determine if the CRI can be useful as an early warning tool in patients with CHD at risk for decompensation during and after cardiac procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Multiple congenital cardiac malformations require pulmonary valve replacement and/or right ventricular outflow (RVOT) reconstruction. Pulmonary valve replacement remains challenging in children owing to the limited growth potential of prosthetic valves. We evaluated outcomes in patients undergoing surgical implantation of a Melody valve in the RVOT. METHODS Data were retrospectively collected for 23 patients undergoing surgical Melody valve implantation at Boston Children's Hospital between 2009 and 2019. We assessed postoperative valve function, reintervention rates, and mortality. RESULTS Median age was 1.7 years (range, 2 months to 6 years); 12 patients were aged greater than 2 years (52%). Diagnosis was tetralogy of Fallot in 15 patients (65%); 15 had a prior RVOT operation (65%). The Melody valve was dilated before surgery to a median diameter of 14 mm (range, 10-20 mm). No patients had acute pulmonary regurgitation. One required transcatheter RVOT reintervention before discharge. Median follow-up was 3.7 years (range, 0.02-8.7 years) with moderate or greater pulmonary regurgitation in 2 patients. Catheter-based interventions (mean, 0.83 ± 1.07/patient) occurred at a median of 1 year (range, 16 days to 5.4 years) and included valve expansion for somatic growth (n = 10) and subsequent valve-in-valve replacement (n = 3). Three patients (13%) required surgical valve explant or replacement at a median of 1.0 year (range, 0.6-3.7 years) for Melody-specific indications. One-, 3-, and 5-year freedom from Melody-driven reoperation was 90%, 90%, and 83%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The Melody valve can be surgically implanted in the RVOT of young patients with acceptable early results. These valves can be successfully dilated through transcatheter reintervention to accommodate growth.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction is common among individuals with congenital heart disease (CHD). Surgical intervention often carries prohibitive risks due to the need for sequential pulmonary valve (PV) replacements throughout their life in the majority of cases. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (tPVR) is one of the most exciting recent developments in the treatment of CHD and has evolved to become an attractive alternative to surgery in patients with RVOT dysfunction. AREAS COVERED In this review, we examine the pathophysiology of RVOT dysfunction, indications for tPVR, and the procedural aspect. Advancements in clinical application and valve technology will also be covered. EXPERT OPINION tPVR is widely accepted as an alternative to surgery to address RVOT dysfunction, but still significant numbers of patients with complex RVOT morphology deemed not suitable for tPVR. As the technology continues to evolve, new percutaneous valves will allow such complex RVOT patient to benefit from tPVR.

Abstract
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate the utility of computed tomography angiography (CTA) for coronary compression (CC) prediction in patients with congenital heart disease undergoing balloon-expandable transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). Background: Coronary compression is a serious complication of TPVR, but the value of preprocedural CTAs to assess CC risk is largely unexplored. Methods: In all, 586 patients underwent TPVR between January 2009 and July 2018. Adults with a pre-TPVR CTA and children with a CTA performed less than one year prior to TPVR were included. Patients with poor CTA image quality or with aborted cases due to reasons other than CC were excluded. Sixty-six patients were finally included. Cardiac anatomy was assessed via multiplanar reconstruction of CTAs. Results: Coronary compression occurred in 9 (14%) of the 66 patients who underwent TPVR. Most CC cases (seven of nine) occurred in patients with conduits. Proximity of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) landing zone to the coronary arteries and to the chest wall was a significant risk factor for compression ( P < .001 and P = .019, respectively). Compression risk increased significantly if patients had an RVOT to coronary artery distance of ≤3 mm ( P < .001) and an RVOT to chest wall distance of ≤8 mm ( P = .026). Anomalous course of coronary arteries was another significant univariate risk factor ( P = .003). Conclusions: Right ventricular outflow tract landing zone distance of ≤3 mm to a coronary artery, landing zone distance of ≤8 mm to the chest wall, and anomalous coronary arteries are associated with increased CC risk. Electrocardiogram gating may not be necessary if coronary arteries are opacified on CTAs. Larger studies are needed to explore and confirm these coronary artery compression risk factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has emerged as an alternative to surgery in patients with pulmonary valve dysfunction. METHODS We searched the Medline and Cochrane databases since their inception to January 2019 as well as references from article, for all publications comparing TPVR with surgical PVR (SPVR). Studies were considered for inclusion if they reported comparative data regarding any of the study endpoints. The primary endpoint was early mortality after PVR. Secondary endpoints included procedure-related complications, length of hospital stay, mortality during follow-up, infective endocarditis, need for reintervention, post-PVR transpulmonary peak systolic gradient, and significant pulmonary regurgitation. RESULTS There were no differences in perioperative mortality between groups (0.2% vs 1.2%; pooled odds ratio, 0.56; 95% confidence interval, 0.19-1.59; P = .27, I2 = 0%). However TPVR conferred a significant reduction in procedure-related complications and length of hospital stay compared with SPVR. Midterm mortality and the need for repeat intervention were similar with both techniques, but pooled infective endocarditis was significantly more frequent in the TPVR group (5.8 vs 2.7%; pooled odds ratio, 3.09; 95% confidence interval, 1.89-5.06; P < .001, I2 = 0%). TPVR was associated with less significant PR and a trend towards a lower transpulmonary systolic gradient during follow-up. CONCLUSIONS TPVR is a safe alternative to SPVR in selected patients and is associated with a shorter length of hospital stay and fewer procedure-related complications. At midterm follow-up TPVR was comparable with SPVR in terms of mortality and repeat intervention but was associated with an increased risk of infective endocarditis.

Crethers D, Kalish J, Shafer B, Mathis L, Polimenakos AC. Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reintervention in the Transcatheter Era: Outcomes and Cost Analysis. Pediatr Cardiol 2020; 41:599-606.

Abstract
Surgical pulmonary valve insertion (SPVI) for re-entry right ventricular outflow tract intervention (RVOTI) remains an established and reproducible approach. Fast-track in patients undergoing RVOTI of the comprehensive valve program targets early ICU and hospital discharge (Hd). Feasibility study for outcome and cost analysis was undertaken. Between January 2015 and December 2016, 34 patients underwent re-entry RVOTI. Seventeen had SPVI and 17 transcatheter PVI (TPVI). Surgical perioperative fast-track protocol was used. Echocardiographic evaluation preoperatively (TTE-1), after RVOTI (TTE-2), at hospital discharge (TTE-3), and follow-up (TTE-4) were obtained. Cost Analysis included procedural and hospital costs. Mean follow-up period was 11.3 ± 6.9 months. All patients were extubated prior to ICU arrival. Mean age was 8.5 ± 7.8 for SPVI [vs 28.5 ± 8.6 years for TPVI] (p < 0.05). There was no hospital mortality or 30-day readmission for SPVI (versus 1 for TPVI).Mean hospital length of stay (LOS) was 4.1 ± 1.1 days for SPVI [vs 1.1 ± 0.7 days for TPVI] (p < 0.05). Number of prior sternal re-entry had no influence on outcome. RV systolic pressure referenced to LVSP (rRVSP, %) and diastolic dimension (RVEDDi, z score) showed sustainable improvement (TTE-2, TTE-3, TTE-4) in both groups compared to TTE-1 (p < 0.05). Mean total hospital cost was $5475.86 ± 2503.91 lower after SPVI (p = 0.09), 21.7% procedural cost reduction. Patients undergoing RVOTI can be safely stratified, based on a customized concept, towards SPVI or TPVI. Standardized strategy can advocate a fast-track path. SPVI is associated with comparable mid-term outcomes to TPVI although SPVI is delivered in younger patients. Despite longer LOS SPVI is associated with reduced hospital cost. Multisite studies might help determine suitability for each strategy on cost containment/quality of life basis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study provides the 3-year follow-up results of the COMPASSION (Congenital Multicenter Trial of Pulmonic Valve Regurgitation Studying the SAPIEN Transcatheter Heart Valve) trial. Patients with moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation and/or right ventricular outflow tract conduit obstruction were implanted with the SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve (THV). BACKGROUND Early safety and efficacy of the Edwards SAPIEN THV in the pulmonary position have been established through a multicenter clinical trial. METHODS Eligible patients were included if body weight was >35 kg and in situ conduit diameter was ≥16 and ≤24 mm. Adverse events were adjudicated by an independent clinical events committee. Three-year clinical and echocardiographic outcomes were evaluated in these patients. RESULTS Fifty-seven of the 63 eligible patients were accounted for at the 3-year follow-up visit from a total of 69 implantations in 81 enrolled patients. THV implantation was indicated for pulmonary stenosis (7.6%), regurgitation (12.7%), or both (79.7%). Twenty-two patients (27.8%) underwent implantation of 26-mm valves, and 47 patients received 23-mm valves. Functional improvement in New York Heart Association functional class was observed in 93.5% of patients. Mean peak conduit gradient decreased from 37.5 ± 25.4 to 17.8 ± 12.4 mm Hg (p < 0.001), and mean right ventricular systolic pressure decreased from 59.6 ± 17.7 to 42.9 ± 13.4 mm Hg (p < 0.001). Pulmonary regurgitation was mild or less in 91.1% of patients. Freedom from all-cause mortality at 3 years was 98.4%. Freedom from reintervention was 93.7% and from endocarditis was 97.1% at 3 years. There were no observed stent fractures. CONCLUSIONS Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement using the Edwards SAPIEN THV demonstrates excellent valve function and clinical outcomes at 3-year follow-up.

Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) with right ventricle outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction need sequential pulmonary valve replacements throughout their life in the majority of cases. Since their introduction in 2000, the number of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantations (PPVI) has grown and reached over 10,000 procedures worldwide. Overall, PPVI has been proven safe and effective, but some anatomical variations can limit procedural success. This review discusses the current status and future perspectives of the procedure.

Abstract
Right ventricular outflow tract diseases are historically outcomes of surgical reconstruction for heart defects in neonates or children (Tetralogy of Fallot, Ross surgery). This kind of surgery performed during childhood lead often to dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract (stenosis, leak) in older infants or young adults. In this case, reintervention on the right ventricular outflow tract would be associated with a high surgical risk. Development of the first percutaneous valves in the year 2000 paved the way for the pulmonary revalvulation. This percutaneous procedure has emerged as a credible alternative to the surgery for multioperated high risk patients with congenital cardiopathies. Two valves are currently available on the French market (Melody®, Sapien®); they cover all therapy indications, except the example of very wide outflow tracts which remain a surgical issue. Medical teams in charge of these young patients have to be enough trained in order to limit risks during the procedure. To this end, several teams promote the percutaneous pulmonary revalvulation over surgical revalvulation, this latter becoming limited only to cases in which percutaneous treatment is not feasible.

Abstract
BACKGROUND High-pressure balloon and stent angioplasty are frequently necessary to prepare the dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract conduit before transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). Conduit injury can result, which may be catastrophic to the patient or prevent successful TPVR. METHODS AND RESULTS The PARCS trial (Pulmonary Artery Repair With Covered Stent) was a pivotal, prospective multicenter trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the NuMED Covered CP Stent (CCPS) for treatment of conduit injury occurring during TPVR. The study also evaluated immediate and short-term TPVR function in patients receiving covered stents. A total of 616 patients were consented; 120 (19.5%) had a wall injury identified and were treated with CCPS. Severe conduit injuries were uncommon (5%), but predictors for severe injury were not identified. Stenotic homografts had the highest incidence of injury (29%), compared with other conduit substrates. Among patients receiving CCPS implant, 96% required no further therapy for conduit injury, and 94% underwent TPVR at that procedure. Only 2 patients (1.6%) required urgent surgery for conduit injury, despite CCPS implant. There were few CCPS-related complications. TPVR function was similar between CCPS and non-CCPS groups at follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Conduit injury during TPVR is common, although severe injury is rare. The CCPS was a safe and effective treatment for right ventricular outflow tract conduit injury during preparation for TPVR, allowing nearly all patients to complete the procedure without identifiable impact on valve performance.

Abstract
Background Pediatric patients with atrioventricular valve disease have limited options for prosthetic valve replacement in sizes <15 mm. Based on successful experience with the stented bovine jugular vein graft (Melody valve) in the right ventricular outflow tract, the prosthesis has been modified for surgical valve replacement in pediatric patients with atrioventricular dysfunction with the intention of subsequent valve expansion in the catheterization laboratory as the child grows. Methods and Results A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was performed among patients who underwent atrioventricular valve replacement with Melody valve at 17 participating sites from North America and Europe, including 68 patients with either mitral (n=59) or tricuspid (n=9) replacement at a median age of 8 months (range, 3 days to 13 years). The median size at implantation was 14 mm (range, 9-24 mm). Immediately postoperatively, the valve was competent with low gradients in all patients. Fifteen patients died; 3 patients underwent transplantation. Nineteen patients required reoperation for adverse outcomes, including valve explantation (n=16), left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (n=1), permanent pacemaker implantation (n=1), and paravalvular leak repair (n=1). Twenty-five patients underwent 41 episodes of catheter-based balloon expansion, exhibiting a significant decrease in median gradient ( P<0.001) with no significant increase in grade of regurgitation. Twelve months after implantation, cumulative incidence analysis indicated that 55% of the patients would be expected to be free from death, heart transplantation, structural valve deterioration, or valve replacement. Conclusions The Melody valve is a feasible option for surgical atrioventricular valve replacement in patients with hypoplastic annuli. The prosthesis shows acceptable short-term function and is amenable to catheter-based enlargement as the child grows. However, patients remain at risk for mortality and structural valve deterioration, despite adequate early valvular function. Device design and implantation techniques must be refined to reduce complications and extend durability. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Endocarditis has emerged as one of the most concerning adverse outcomes in patients with congenital anomalies involving the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and prosthetic valves. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate rates and potential risk factors for endocarditis after transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in the prospective Melody valve trials. METHODS All patients in whom a transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) was implanted in the RVOT as part of 3 prospective multicenter studies comprised the analytic cohort. The diagnosis of endocarditis and involvement of the TPV were determined by the implanting investigator. RESULTS A total of 309 patients underwent transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) and were discharged with a valve in place. The median follow-up duration was 5.1 years, and total observation until study exit was 1,660.3 patient-years. Endocarditis was diagnosed in 46 patients (median 3.1 years after TPVR), and a total of 35 patients were reported to have TPV-related endocarditis (34 at the initial diagnosis, 1 with a second episode). The annualized incidence rate of endocarditis was 3.1% per patient-year and of TPV-related endocarditis was 2.4% per patient-year. At 5 years post-TPVR, freedom from a diagnosis of endocarditis was 89% and freedom from TPV-related endocarditis was 92%. By multivariable analysis, age ≤12 years at implant (hazard ratio: 2.3; 95% confidence interval: 1.2 to 4.4; p = 0.011) and immediate post-implant peak gradient ≥15 mm Hg (2.7; 95% confidence interval: 1.4 to 4.9; p = 0.002) were associated with development of endocarditis and with development of TPV-related endocarditis (age ≤12 years: 2.8; 95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 5.7; p = 0.006; gradient ≥15 mm Hg: 2.6; 95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 5.2; p = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Endocarditis is an important adverse outcome following TVPR in children and adults with post-operative congenital heart disease involving the RVOT. Ongoing efforts to understand, prevent, and optimize management of this complication are paramount in making the best use of TPV therapy.

Abstract
Background: After encouraging results with the Edwards Sapien and XT valves, this study aimed to review procedural data and early outcomes for the Sapien 3 valves for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). Methods: We performed a multicenter, retrospective analysis of cases who underwent a Sapien 3 TPVR between 2015 and 2017 in 7 centers in Germany with a follow-up of up to 2 years. Results: 56 patients could be enrolled (weight 58,5 ± 25,0 kg; 53% Tetralogy of Fallot, 45% native RVOT). Most procedures were two-stage procedures (82,1%) with 100% prestenting. Valve sizes were 20 mm (n = 1), 23 mm (n = 15), 26 mm (n = 27), 29 mm (n = 13). Procedural success rate was 96.4%. Two patients underwent surgical valve implantation after balloon rupture during TPVR. Follow-up data were available up to 24-month post TPVR. The rate of patients with ? moderate and severe pulmonary regurgitation decreased to 0% after TPVR, peak systolic gradient decreased from 24,2 (SD±20,9) mmHg to 7,1 mmHg (SD±5,0). There were no endocarditis, severe tricuspid valve impairment or stent fractures. Conclusions: With the Edwards Sapien 3 valve, the patient pool for TPVR can be substantially extended. Continued data collection is necessary to verify long-term results.

Abstract
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction is common following surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot and other forms of complex congenital heart disease. This results in pulmonary stenosis or regurgitation and may ultimately lead to RV failure and dysrhythmias. Transcatheter valve technologies are now available to treat certain patients with RVOT dysfunction. Current devices include the Medtronic Melody valve and the Edwards Lifesciences SAPIEN XT. Although these valves are approved for use in dysfunctional circumferential RVOT conduits, they are increasingly being used off label for nonconduit outflow tracts. Procedural complications include but are not limited to conduit rupture and coronary compression. Longer-term complications include stent fracture and endocarditis. Outcomes with these valves have demonstrated durable relief of stenosis and regurgitation. The Medtronic Harmony valve and the Alterra Prestent from Edwards Lifesciences are investigational devices that are intended to treat the patulous RVOT that is too large to accommodate currently available valves. This review will focus on current indications to treat RVOT dysfunction, existing transcatheter valve technologies, and investigational devices undergoing clinical trials. Hopefully, within the not-too-distant future, transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation will be feasible in the vast majority of patients with RVOT dysfunction following surgical repair of congenital heart disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Twenty percent of patients born with congenital heart disease present with right ventricular outflow tract abnormalities. These patients require multiple surgical procedures in their lifetime. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has become a viable alternative to conventional pulmonary valve and right ventricular outflow tract surgery in pediatric and adult populations. In this retrospective review, we analyze the perioperative management of adult patients who underwent TPVR in our center. METHODS The study consisted of a chart review of patients who underwent TPVR at Toronto General Hospital between 2006 and 2015. Information about preoperative assessment, intraoperative anesthetic management, and intra- and postprocedural complications was collected. Two types of percutaneous valves have been used for a conduit or valve size between 16 and 28 mm. These procedures are done via the femoral, jugular, or subclavian vein under general anesthesia. RESULTS Seventy-nine adults (17-68 years of age) who underwent elective TPVR procedures were included. General anesthesia was used in all cases. Defibrillation was necessary in 1 case, and bradycardia was spontaneously resolved in another 1. Eighty-five percent were successfully extubated at the end of the procedure. Five patients required intraoperative inotropic support. Three patients presented self-resolved hemoptysis. Mechanical ventilation for >24 hours was necessary in 3 cases, 2 of which also required concomitant inotropic support. Four failed deployments and 1 case of persistent conduit stenosis were reported. Three patients required reintubation. All patients were discharged home. CONCLUSIONS Patients undergoing TPVR represent a complex and heterogeneous population. General anesthesia with endotracheal intubation is preferred. Setup for urgent lung isolation and cardiac defibrillation should be considered. Postoperative monitoring and intensive care setting are required. Anesthesiologists with cardiac anesthesia training are probably better suited to manage these patients.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of the study was to evaluate the midterm safety and efficacy of a self-expanding valve (Venus P-valve) in the treatment of patients with pulmonary regurgitation and a native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in China. METHODS AND RESULTS Patients who had moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation after surgical repair of the RVOT with a transannular or RVOT patch were included in the study. Fifty-five patients (67% female; average age 28.7±12.4 years) from six different hospitals in China were enrolled. The procedure success rate was 98.2%. In the one failure, the patient experienced valve dislodgement two days after the procedure. During the 12-month follow-up, two patients died, one due to infective endocarditis. Three other patients developed infective endocarditis. Two patients developed atrial flutter, and one patient had a pulmonary embolism. Echocardiography examinations at 12 months showed that two patients had mild pulmonary regurgitation, and 19 patients had trace pulmonary regurgitation. No paravalvular regurgitation occurred. The mean peak pulmonary gradient was 16.3±7.4 (range 4-38) mmHg. Compared with the baseline data, the right ventricular end-diastolic volume index (RVEDVI) was reduced from 137.6±15.8 mL/m2 to 83.9±16.0 mL/m2 (p<0.001), and the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class was significantly improved (p<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The one-year results of the China Venus P-valve study show considerable promise for a hitherto unmet need in patients with pulmonary regurgitation and an enlarged native RVOT.

Branch Pulmonary Artery Valve Implantation Reduces Pulmonary Regurgitation and Improves Right Ventricular Size/Function in Patients With Large Right Ventricular Outflow Tracts. JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2019; 11:541-550. [PMID: 29566799 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcin.2018.01.278] [Citation(s) in RCA: 18] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2017] [Revised: 01/15/2018] [Accepted: 01/23/2018] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The authors sought to assess the intermediate-term effects of percutaneous placed valves in the branch pulmonary artery (PA) position. BACKGROUND Most patients with large right ventricular outflow tracts (RVOTs) are excluded from available percutaneous pulmonary valve options. In some of these patients, percutaneous branch PA valve implantation may be feasible. The longer-term effects of valves in the branch PA position is unknown. METHODS Retrospective data were collected on patients with significant pulmonary regurgitation who had a percutaneous branch PA valve attempted. RESULTS Percutaneous branch PA valve implantation was attempted in 34 patients (18 bilateral and 16 unilateral). One-half of the patients were in New York Heart Association (NHYA) functional class III or IV pre-implantation. There were 2 failed attempts and 6 procedural complications. At follow-up, only 1 patient had more than mild valvar regurgitation. The right ventricular end-diastolic volume index decreased from 147 (range: 103 to 478) ml/m2 to 101 (range: 76 to 429) ml/m2, p < 0.01 (n = 16), and the right ventricular end-systolic volume index decreased from 88.5 (range: 41 to 387) ml/m2 to 55.5 (range: 40.2 to 347) ml/m2, p < 0.01 (n = 13). There were 5 late deaths. At a median follow-up of 2 years, all other patients were in NYHA functional class I or II. CONCLUSIONS Percutaneous branch PA valve implantation results in a reduction in right ventricular volume with clinical benefit in the intermediate term. Until percutaneous valve technology for large RVOTs is refined and more widely available, branch PA valve implantation remains an option for select patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The long-term benefits of Melody valve implant for right ventricular outflow tract conduit obstruction or insufficiency on exercise capacity are undefined. METHODS As part of the Melody valve clinical trial, 136 patients with congenital heart disease underwent serial cardiopulmonary exercise testing prior to, 6 months after, and annually for up to 5 years postimplant. RESULTS Mean age at Melody valve implantation was 22.4 ± 0.9 years (range 7-53 years). The 95 patients who completed the study protocol provide the basis of this report. An initial improvement in % predicted workload was present at 6 months postimplant; however, at the final (5 year) follow-up, sustained or further improvements in workload were not demonstrated for the entire cohort compared to baseline. By subgroup analysis, age <17 years at implant and pulmonary regurgitation as the primary lesion were variables associated with sustained improvement in exercise performance. There were sustained improvements in the ventilatory equivalents for O2 (minute ventilation/O2 intake, P = .01) and CO2 (minute ventilation/CO2 output, P < .01) at the ventilatory anaerobic threshold at the study conclusion. Improvements in forced vital capacity were also observed during the study but not sustained at the final follow-up. CONCLUSIONS A cautious appraisal of the cardiovascular benefits of Melody valve implant on sustained improvements in exercise performance appears warranted. Although the observed changes in pulmonary function suggest improved restrictive lung physiology and more efficient gas exchange, after an initial increase in % predicted performance, neither sustained nor further improvements in exercise performance were observed, except in specific patient subgroups.
