Abstract
Over the last 2 decades, experience with transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) has grown significantly and has become an effective and reliable way of treating pulmonary valve regurgitation, right ventricular outflow (RVOT) obstruction, and dysfunctional bioprosthetic valves and conduits. With the introduction of self-expanding valves and prestents, dilated native RVOT can be addressed with the transcatheter approach. In this article, the authors review the current practices, technical challenges, and outcomes of TPVR.

Holography-guided procedural planning for modifying Venus P-valve implantation technique in patients with left pulmonary artery stents: a case-series. Front Cardiovasc Med 2024; 11:1378924. [PMID: 38803661 PMCID: PMC11129635 DOI: 10.3389/fcvm.2024.1378924] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/30/2024] [Accepted: 03/29/2024] [Indexed: 05/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Venus P-valve™ (Venus Medtech, Hangzhou, China) is a self-expandable bioprosthetic valve that can be transcatheter-implanted in native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) patients. Valve implantation is technically challenging. Due to the implantation technique, left pulmonary artery (LPA) stents represent a relative contraindication to Venus P-valve. In this case series, we describe our experience in implanting Venus P-valve in patients with previous LPA stents and the use of holographic models to facilitate procedural planning. Methods and results From January to October 2023, 17 patients were scheduled for Venus P-Valve implantation. 16/17 (94%) patients were successfully implanted. 3/16 (18.7%) patients underwent Venus P-valve implantation with LPA stents. All patients underwent pre-operative CT scan. CT data set were employed to create three-dimensional (3D) holographic models (Artiness, Milan, Italy) of the entire heart, which were useful to plan valve implantation with a modified technique. Procedural success rate was 100%. No procedural complications occurred. All three patients presented good haemodynamic and angiographic results at discharge and follow-up visits. Conclusion This case-series underscores the feasibility of Venus P-valve implantation in patients with previous LPA stents. The use of holographic models facilitated procedural planning in these challenging anatomical scenarios.

Abstract
Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common form of cyanotic congenital heart disease. Palliative procedures, either surgical or transcatheter, aim to improve oxygen saturation, affording definitive procedures at a later stage. Transcatheter interventions have been used before and after surgical palliative or definitive repair in children and adults. This review aims to provide an overview of the different catheter-based interventions for TOF across all age groups, with an emphasis on palliative interventions, such as patent arterial duct stenting, right ventricular outflow tract stenting, or balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty in infants and children and transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in adults with repaired TOF, including the available options for a large, dilated native right ventricular outflow tract.

Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the fluid dynamic characteristics of the VenusP Valve System™ under varying cardiac outputs in vitro. A thorough hemodynamic study of the valve under physiological cardiac conditions was conducted and served as an independent assessment of the performance of the valve. Flow fields downstream of the valve near the pulmonary bifurcation were quantitatively studied by two-dimensional Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV). The obtained flow field was analyzed for potential regions of flow stasis and recirculation, and elevated shear stress and turbulence. High-speed en face imaging capturing the leaflet motion provided data for leaflet kinematic modeling. The experimental conditions for PIV studies were in accordance with ISO 5840-1:2021 standard, and two valves with different lengths and different orientations were studied. Results show good hemodynamics performance for the tested valves according to ISO 5840 standard without significant regions of flow stasis. Observed shear stress values are all well below established hemolysis limits.

Early Outcomes From a Multicenter Transcatheter Self-Expanding Pulmonary Valve Replacement Registry. J Am Coll Cardiol 2024; 83:1310-1321. [PMID: 38569760 DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2024.02.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2023] [Revised: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 02/08/2024] [Indexed: 04/05/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) with the self-expanding Harmony valve (Medtronic) is an emerging treatment for patients with native or surgically repaired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) pulmonary regurgitation (PR). Limited data are available since U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval in 2021. OBJECTIVES In this study, the authors sought to evaluate the safety and short-term effectiveness of self-expanding TPVR in a real-world experience. METHODS This was a multicenter registry study of consecutive patients with native RVOT PR who underwent TPVR through April 30, 2022, at 11 U.S. CENTERS The primary outcome was a composite of hemodynamic dysfunction (PR greater than mild and RVOT mean gradient >30 mm Hg) and RVOT reintervention. RESULTS A total of 243 patients underwent TPVR at a median age of 31 years (Q1-Q3: 19-45 years). Cardiac diagnoses were tetralogy of Fallot (71%), valvular pulmonary stenosis (21%), and other (8%). Acute technical success was achieved in all but 1 case. Procedural serious adverse events occurred in 4% of cases, with no device embolization or death. Hospital length of stay was 1 day in 86% of patients. Ventricular arrhythmia prompting treatment occurred in 19% of cases. At a median follow-up of 13 months (Q1-Q3: 8-19 months), 98% of patients had acceptable hemodynamic function. Estimated freedom from the composite clinical outcome was 99% at 1 year and 96% at 2 years. Freedom from TPVR-related endocarditis was 98% at 1 year. Five patients died from COVID-19 (n = 1), unknown causes (n = 2), and bloodstream infection (n = 2). CONCLUSIONS In this large multicenter real-world experience, short-term clinical and hemodynamic outcomes of self-expanding TPVR therapy were excellent. Ongoing follow-up of this cohort will provide important insights into long-term outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pulsta valve is increasingly used for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) in patients with a large native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). This study aims to elucidate the outcomes of Pulsta valve implantation within the native RVOT and assess its adaptability to various native main pulmonary artery (PA) anatomies. METHODS A multicenter retrospective study included 182 patients with moderate to severe pulmonary regurgitation in the native RVOT who underwent PPVI with Pulsta valves® between February 2016 and August 2023 at five Korean and Taiwanese tertiary referral centers. RESULTS Pulsta valve implantation was successful in 179 out of 182 patients (98.4%) with an average age of 26.7 ± 11.0 years. The median follow-up duration was 29 months. Baseline assessments revealed enlarged right ventricle (RV) volume (mean indexed RV end-diastolic volume: 163.1 (interquartile range, IQR: 152.0-180.3 mL/m²), which significantly decreased to 123.6(IQR: 106.6-137.5 mL/m2 after 1 year. The main PA types were classified as pyramidal (3.8%), straight (38.5%), reverse pyramidal (13.2%), convex (26.4%), and concave (18.1%) shapes. Pulsta valve placement was adapted, with distal main PA for pyramidal shapes and proximal or mid-PA for reverse pyramidal shapes. Two patients experienced Pulsta valve embolization to RV, requiring surgical removal, and one patient encountered valve migration to the distal main PA, necessitating surgical fixation. CONCLUSIONS Customized valve insertion sites are pivotal in self-expandable PPVI considering diverse native RVOT shape. The rather soft and compact structure of the Pulsta valve has characteristics to are adaptable to diverse native RVOT geometries.

Pediatr Res 2024; 95:615-624.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meeting increased regulatory requirements for clinical evaluation of medical devices marketed in Europe in accordance with the Medical Device Regulation (EU 2017/745) is challenging, particularly for high-risk devices used in children. METHODS Within the CORE-MD project, we performed a scoping review on evidence from clinical trials investigating high-risk paediatric medical devices used in paediatric cardiology, diabetology, orthopaedics and surgery, in patients aged 0-21 years. We searched Medline and Embase from 1st January 2017 to 9th November 2022. RESULTS From 1692 records screened, 99 trials were included. Most were multicentre studies performed in North America and Europe that mainly had evaluated medical devices from the specialty of diabetology. Most had enrolled adolescents and 39% of trials included both children and adults. Randomized controlled trials accounted for 38% of the sample. Other frequently used designs were before-after studies (21%) and crossover trials (20%). Included trials were mainly small, with a sample size <100 participants in 64% of the studies. Most frequently assessed outcomes were efficacy and effectiveness as well as safety. CONCLUSION Within the assessed sample, clinical trials on high-risk medical devices in children were of various designs, often lacked a concurrent control group, and recruited few infants and young children. IMPACT In the assessed sample, clinical trials on high-risk medical devices in children were mainly small, with variable study designs (often without concurrent control), and they mostly enrolled adolescents. We provide a systematic summary of methodologies applied in clinical trials of medical devices in the paediatric population, reflecting obstacles in this research area that make it challenging to conduct adequately powered randomized controlled trials. In view of changing European regulations and related concerns about shortages of high-risk medical devices for children, our findings may assist competent authorities in setting realistic requirements for the evidence level to support device conformity certification.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Robust data on changes in pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) procedural volume and predictors of bioprosthetic pulmonary valve (BPV) durability in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) are scarce. OBJECTIVES This study sought to assess temporal trends in PVR procedural volume and BPV durability in a nationwide, retrospective TOF cohort. METHODS Data were obtained from patient records. Robust linear regression was used to assess temporal trends in PVR procedural volume. Piecewise exponential additive mixed models were used to estimate BPV durability, defined as the time from implantation to redo PVR with death as a competing risk, and to assess risk factors for reduced durability. RESULTS In total, 546 PVR were performed in 384 patients from 1976 to 2021. The annual number of PVR increased from 0.4 to 6.0 per million population (P < 0.001). In the last decade, the transcatheter PVR volume increased by 20% annually (P < 0.001), whereas the surgical PVR volume did not change significantly. The median BPV durability was 17 years (Q1: 10-Q3: 10 years-not applicable). There was no significant difference in the durability of different BPV after adjustment for confounders. Age at PVR (HR: 0.78 per 10 years from <1 year; 95% CI: 0.63-0.96; P = 0.02) and true inner valve diameter (9-17 mm vs 18-22 mm HR: 0.40; 95% CI: 0.22-0.73; P = 0.003 and 18-22 mm vs 23-30 mm HR: 0.59; 95% CI: 0.25-1.39; P = 0.23) were associated with reduced BPV durability in multivariate models. CONCLUSIONS The PVR procedural volume has increased over time, with a greater increment in transcatheter than surgical PVR during the last decade. Younger patient age at PVR and a smaller true inner valve diameter predicted reduced BPV durability.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) is indicated to treat right-ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction related to congenital heart disease (CHD). Outcomes of TPVI with the SAPIEN 3 valve that are insufficiently documented were investigated in the EUROPULMS3 registry of SAPIEN 3-TPVI. METHODS Patient-related, procedural, and follow-up outcome data were retrospectively assessed in this observational cohort from 35 centres in 15 countries. RESULTS Data for 840 consecutive patients treated in 2014-2021 at a median age of 29.2 (19.0-41.6) years were obtained. The most common diagnosis was conotruncal defect (70.5%), with a native or patched RVOT in 50.7% of all patients. Valve sizes were 20, 23, 26, and 29 mm in 0.4%, 25.5%, 32.1%, and 42.0% of patients, respectively. Valve implantation was successful in 98.5% [95% confidence interval (CI), 97.4%-99.2%] of patients. Median follow-up was 20.3 (7.1-38.4) months. Eight patients experienced infective endocarditis; 11 required pulmonary valve replacement, with a lower incidence for larger valves (P = .009), and four experienced pulmonary valve thrombosis, including one who died and three who recovered with anticoagulation. Cumulative incidences (95%CI) 1, 3, and 6 years after TPVI were as follows: infective endocarditis, 0.5% (0.0%-1.0%), 0.9% (0.2%-1.6%), and 3.8% (0.0%-8.4%); pulmonary valve replacement, 0.4% (0.0%-0.8%), 1.3% (0.2%-2.4%), and 8.0% (1.2%-14.8%); and pulmonary valve thrombosis, 0.4% (0.0%-0.9%), 0.7% (0.0%-1.3%), and 0.7% (0.0%-1.3%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Outcomes of SAPIEN 3 TPVI were favourable in patients with CHD, half of whom had native or patched RVOTs.

[PMID: 38211659 PMCID: PMC11211093 DOI: 10.1016/j.jocmr.2023.100002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 12/11/2023] [Indexed: 01/13/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Many patients with repaired tetralogy of Fallot require pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) due to significant pulmonary regurgitation (PR). Transcatheter PVR (TPVR) is an equally effective and less invasive alternative to surgical PVR but many native right ventricular outflow tracts (RVOTs) are too large for TPVR at time of referral. Understanding the rate of growth of the RVOT may help optimize timing of referral. This study aims to examine the longitudinal growth of the native RVOT over time in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (TOF). METHODS A retrospective review of serial cardiac MRI cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) data from 121 patients with repaired TOF and a native RVOT (median age at first CMR 14.7 years, average interval between the first and last CMR of 8.1 years) was performed to measure serial changes in RVOT diameter, cross-sectional area, perimeter-derived diameter, and length. RESULTS All parameters of RVOT size continued to grow with increasing age but growth was more rapid in the decade after TOF repair (for minimum systolic diameter, mean increase of 5.7 mm per 10 years up to year 12, subsequently 2.3 mm per 10 years). The RVOT was larger with a transannular patch and in patients without pulmonary stenosis (p < 0.001 for both), but this was not associated with rate of growth. More rapid RVOT enlargement was noted in patients with larger right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RVEDV), higher PR fraction, and greater rates of increases in RVEDV and PR (p < 0.001 for all) CONCLUSIONS: in patients with repaired TOF, using serial CMR data, we found that RVOT size increased progressively at all ages, but the rate was more rapid in the first decade after repair. More rapid RVOT enlargement was noted in patients with a larger RV, more PR, and greater rates of increases in RV size and PR severity. These results may be important in considering timing of referral for transcatheter pulmonary valves, in planning transcatheter and surgical valve replacement, and in designing future valves for the native RVOT.

Abstract
Various transcatheter interventions for the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) have been introduced and developed in recent decades. Transcatheter pulmonary valve perforation was first introduced in the 1990s. Radiofrequency wire perforation has been the approach of choice for membranous pulmonary atresia in newborns, with high success rates, although complication rates remain relatively common. Stenting of the RVOT is a novel palliative treatment that may improve hemodynamics in neonatal patients with reduced pulmonary blood flow and RVOT obstruction. Whether this option is superior to other surgical palliative strategies or early primary repair of tetralogy of Fallot remains unclear. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement has been one of the biggest innovations in the last two decades. With the success of the Melody and SAPIEN valves, this technique has evolved into the gold standard therapy for RVOT abnormalities with excellent procedural safety and efficacy. Challenges remain in managing the wide heterogeneity of postoperative lesions seen in RVOT, and various technical modifications, such as pre-stenting, valve ring modification, or development of self-expanding systems, have been made. Recent large studies have revealed outcomes comparable to those of surgery, with less morbidity. Further experience and multicenter studies and registries to compare the outcomes of various strategies are necessary, with the ultimate goal of a single-step, minimally invasive approach offering the best longer-term anatomical and physiological results.

Abstract
This consensus document for the performance of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (CCT) to guide intervention in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients with congenital disease (CHD) was developed collaboratively by pediatric and adult interventionalists, surgeons and cardiac imagers with expertise specific to this patient subset. The document summarizes definitions of RVOT dysfunction as assessed by multi-modality imaging techniques and reviews existing consensus statements and guideline documents pertaining to indications for intervention. In the context of this background information, recommendations for CCT scan acquisition and a standardized approach for reporting prior to surgical or transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement are proposed and presented. It is the first Imaging for Intervention collaboration for CHD patients and encompasses imaging and reporting recommendations prior to both surgical and percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) with a SAPIEN 3 valve is effective for treating treat right ventricle outflow (RVOT) dysfunction. A modified technique was developed without prestenting using a protective valve delivery method. We aimed to compare the procedural results of the modified technique group (MTG) to those of patients in a conventional technique group (CTG). METHODS We designed a matched before-after study. All consecutive PPVI with SAPIEN 3 performed in the MTG over 9 months were matched, based on the RVOT type and size, to consecutive procedures performed previously with SAPIEN 3. RESULTS A total of 54 patients were included, equally distributed in the two groups. The sizes of the SAPIEN 3 valves were 23 mm (n = 9), 26 mm (n = 9), 29 mm (n = 36). The two groups were similar regarding demographic data, RVOT type, and pre-procedure hemodynamics. PPVI was performed in a single procedure in all patients of the MTG, whereas six (22.2%) patients of the CTG group underwent prestenting as a first step and valve implantation later (p = 0.02). The procedures were successful in all cases. Stent embolization was reported in two patients (7.4%) in the CTG, which were impacted in pulmonary arteries. In one case (3.7%), in the MTG, an unstable 29 mm SAPIEN 3 valve was stabilized with two stents and additional valve-in-valve implantation. The hemodynamics results were good in all cases, without significant differences between the two groups. The procedures' durations and fluoroscopy times were significantly reduced in the MTG (48.1 versus 82.6 min, p < 0.0001; 15.2 versus 29.8 min, p = 0.0002). During follow-up, neither stent fracture nor valve dysfunction was noticed in either group. CONCLUSION PPVI without prestenting and with a protective delivery method of the SAPIEN 3 valve significantly reduces the procedure's complexity, the duration, and the irradiation while maintaining excellent hemodynamics results in selected cases.

Abstract
Surgical treatment of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) involves surgical relief of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction and closure of ventricular septal defect. However, some patients may require staged palliation before surgical repair. This traditionally was achieved only with surgery but recently evolved to include catheter-based techniques. RVOT dysfunction occurs inevitably after the surgical repair of TOF and, depending on the surgical approach, manifests as either progressive stenosis, regurgitation, or a combination of both. This predisposes the individual to repeated RVOT interventions with the attendant risks of multiple open-heart surgeries. The advent of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement has reduced the operative burden, and the expansion of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement device platforms has widened the type and size of RVOT anatomies that can be treated. This review will discuss the transcatheter therapies available throughout the lifespan of the patient with TOF.

Abstract
This consensus document for the performance of cardiovascular computed tomography (CCT) to guide intervention in the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) was developed collaboratively by pediatric and adult interventionalists, surgeons, and cardiac imagers with expertise specific to this patient subset. The document summarizes definitions of RVOT dysfunction as assessed by multimodality imaging techniques and reviews existing consensus statements and guideline documents pertaining to indications for intervention. In the context of this background information, recommendations for CCT scan acquisition and a standardized approach for reporting prior to surgical or transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement are proposed and presented. It is the first Imaging for Intervention collaboration for CHD patients and encompasses imaging and reporting recommendations prior to both surgical and percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Right ventricular outflow tract intervention spans transcatheter, surgical, or hybrid pulmonary valve replacement methodologies. Standardised pre-procedure workup includes cardiac MRI to identify an intended valve site (landing zone). Our institutional practice includes measurement of the right ventricular outflow tract perimeter (circumference) of this site in end-systole. Our primary aim was to compare patients by their perimeter values to the palliative interventions performed (transcatheter versus surgical/hybrid methodologies). METHODS Retrospective review of patients undergoing pulmonary valve replacement from January 2017 to 2021. We performed perimeter measurements at the intended valve site on advanced imaging; the outcomes of interventions were outlined via descriptive and statistical analyses. RESULTS A total of 37 patients underwent pulmonary valve replacement that met study criteria - 21 transcatheter, 7 surgical, and 9 hybrid. Median age at intervention was 26 years (range 8-70). The mean end-systolic perimeter of the transcatheter cohort was 88.9 ± 8.7 mm and in the surgical/hybrid cohort measured 106.6 ± 7.5 mm. For the transcatheter cohort, the median "circularised" diameter derived from the perimeter measurement (divided by π) was 27.7 mm (range 24.3-32.4). Notably, this correlated (r = 0.93, p < 0.01) with the median diameter of the narrowest region during actual transcatheter right ventricular outflow tract balloon sizing (lateral imaging) of 27.1 mm (range 23.2-30.1). CONCLUSIONS Right ventricular outflow tract perimeter measurement to determine circularised diameter is useful in planning pulmonary valve replacement in terms of candidacy of transcatheter versus the need for a surgical/hybrid approach. The circularised diameter correlates with transcatheter right ventricular outflow tract balloon sizing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) in patients with a congenital or acquired abnormality resulting in enlarged right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) is challenging and may preclude treatment with dedicated devices. We describe a technique using a physician-modified endograft to facilitate TPVR. METHODS Six patients underwent physician-modified endograft-facilitated TPVR for severe symptomatic pulmonary insufficiency with enlarged RVOT. The fenestration was created in a commercially available endograft before implantation, which was then deployed from the dominant branch pulmonary artery into the RVOT, with the fenestration aligned with the ostium of the nondominant pulmonary artery. A covered stent was placed through the fenestration into the nondominant branch pulmonary artery, and a transcatheter heart valve was deployed within the endograft at the level of the original pulmonary valve. RESULTS Four patients had tetralogy of Fallot, 1 had pulmonary atresia, and 1 had rheumatic valve disease. The RVOT/main pulmonary artery was severely enlarged (diameter, 44.2 [43.5-50.6] mm). All patients had reduced right ventricular (RV) function and dilated RVs (RV end-diastolic volume, 314 [235-316] mL). Successful endograft, covered stent, and transcatheter heart valve deployment were achieved in all cases without stent/valve embolization, vascular complications, or bleeding complications. At 30 days, 1 patient had mild pulmonary insufficiency, while others had none. The RV size measured by echocardiography was significantly reduced after TPVR (RV area, 34.4 [baseline] versus 29.0 [pre-discharge] versus 25.3 [30 days] cm2; P=0.03). During median follow-up of 221.5 (range, 29-652) days, there were no deaths or need for pulmonary valve reintervention. One patient developed severe tricuspid regurgitation due to entrapment of the anterior tricuspid leaflet by the endograft. The patient underwent successful tricuspid replacement and resection of the offending endograft with preservation of the pulmonary valve prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS Simple fenestration of an off-the-shelf endograft and associated covered stent placement through the fenestration allows TPVR for patients with dysfunctional native or patch-repaired pulmonary valves and RVOT enlargement.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Harmony transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) is the first U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved device for severe pulmonary regurgitation (PR) in the native or surgically repaired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). OBJECTIVES One-year safety and effectiveness of the Harmony TPV were evaluated in patients from the Harmony Native Outflow Tract Early Feasibility Study, Harmony TPV Pivotal Study, and Continued Access Study, representing the largest cohort to date of Harmony TPV recipients. METHODS Eligible patients had severe PR by echocardiography or PR fraction ≥ 30% by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and clinical indications for pulmonary valve replacement. The primary analysis included 87 patients who received a commercially available TPV22 (n = 42) or TPV25 (n = 45) device; 19 patients who received an early device iteration prior to its discontinuation were evaluated separately. RESULTS In the primary analysis, median patient age at treatment was 26 years (IQR: 18-37 years) in the TPV22 group and 29 years (IQR: 19-42 years) in the TPV25 group. At 1 year, there were no deaths; 98% of TPV22 and 91% of TPV25 patients were free from the composite of PR, stenosis, and reintervention (moderate or worse PR, mean RVOT gradient >40 mmHg, device-related RVOT reoperation, and catheter reintervention). Nonsustained ventricular tachycardia occurred in 16% of patients. Most patients had none/trace or mild PR (98% of TPV22 patients, 97% of TPV25 patients). Outcomes with the discontinued device are reported separately. CONCLUSIONS The Harmony TPV device demonstrated favorable clinical and hemodynamic outcomes across studies and valve types through 1 year. Further follow-up will continue to assess long-term valve performance and durability.

Abstract
Congenital heart diseases (CHDs) frequently impact the right ventricular outflow tract, resulting in a significant incidence of pulmonary valve replacement in the pediatric population. While contemporary pediatric pulmonary valve replacements (PPVRs) allow satisfactory patient survival, their biocompatibility and durability remain suboptimal and repeat operations are commonplace, especially for very young patients. This places enormous physical, financial, and psychological burdens on patients and their parents, highlighting an urgent clinical need for better PPVRs. An important reason for the clinical failure of PPVRs is biofouling, which instigates various adverse biological responses such as thrombosis and infection, promoting research into various antifouling chemistries that may find utility in PPVR materials. Another significant contributor is the inevitability of somatic growth in pediatric patients, causing structural discrepancies between the patient and PPVR, stimulating the development of various growth-accommodating heart valve prototypes. This review offers an interdisciplinary perspective on these challenges by exploring clinical experiences, physiological understandings, and bioengineering technologies that may contribute to device development. It thus aims to provide an insight into the design requirements of next-generation PPVRs to advance clinical outcomes and promote patient quality of life.

Abstract
Performance of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in the planning phase of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) is needed for the accurate delineation of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT), coronary anatomy and the quantification of right ventricular (RV) volume overload in patients with significant pulmonary regurgitation (PR). This helps to find the correct timings for the intervention and prevention of PPVI-related complications such as coronary artery compression, device embolization and stent fractures. A defined CMR study protocol should be set for all PPVI candidates to reduce acquisition times and acquire essential sequences that are determinants for PPVI success. For correct RVOT sizing, contrast-free whole-heart sequences, preferably at end-systole, should be adopted in the pediatric population thanks to their high reproducibility and concordance with invasive angiographic data. When CMR is not feasible or contraindicated, cardiac computed tomography (CCT) may be performed for high-resolution cardiac imaging and eventually the acquisition of complementary functional data. The aim of this review is to underline the role of CMR and advanced multimodality imaging in the context of pre-procedural planning of PPVI concerning its current and potential future applications.

Abstract
The Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (Medtronic) was recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration for transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement in native right ventricular outflow tracts. Despite this milestone, some patients have main pulmonary arteries that are severely dilated and continue to require surgical pulmonary valve replacement. The hybrid approach combines surgical creation of a landing zone, transcatheter valve deployment, and suture stabilization of the implanted valve. In this case series, we report the first use of a hybrid approach for Harmony™ transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement. Two cases are reported with varying approaches for surgical creation of a landing zone followed by successful placement of a Harmony™ valve.

Abstract
Surgical repair of a variety of congenital heart diseases involves repair of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) with valved or non-valved conduit to connect the right ventricle (RV) to the pulmonary artery (PA) or just patch enlargement of the native RVOT. With time, this RV-PA conduit will degenerate with deterioration of function, either causing pulmonary stenosis or pulmonary regurgitation. This RVOT dysfunction may result in RV dilation, RV dysfunction, and eventual RV failure and arrhythmias. Multiple surgical pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is often required throughout the patient's lifetime. Patients are subjected to increased risks with each additional cardiac operation. Transcatheter PVR (TPVR) has been developed over the past two decades as a valuable non-surgical alternative to restore the RVOT and RV function, and hence reduce patients' lifetime risks related to surgery. This article will discuss the long-term results of TPVR which are demonstrated to be comparable to surgical results and the latest development of large pulmonary valves which will allow TPVR to be performed on native or larger RVOT.

Abstract
The majority of patients with congenital heart disease who have undergone open heart surgery during childhood are possible candidates for additional transcatheter or surgical interventions. One fifth of these conditions usually involve the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement (PPVR) has been widely established as an alternative, less invasive option to surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR). The variability of RVOT anatomy and size, the relative course of the coronary arteries and the anatomy of the pulmonary artery branches are factors that determine the success of the intervention as well as the complication rates. Careful and reliable pre-interventional imaging warrants the selection of suitable candidates and minimizes the risk of complications. 2D and 3D fluoroscopy have been extensively used during pre- and peri-interventional assessment. Established imaging techniques such as Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and Computed Tomography (CT), as well as newer techniques, such as fusion imaging, have proved to be efficient and reliable tools during pre-procedural planning in patients assessed for PPVR.

Abstract
Objective Nearly 2/3 of patients with dilated right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) were excluded from pulmonary valves transplantation due to the lack of size-matched valves. Here, we explored the safety and efficacy of the Med-Zenith PT-Valve for the treatment of patients with severe pulmonary regurgitation. Methods 22 Patients with severe PR (grade 3+,4+) were enrolled based on the anatomical features of native RVOT and the valve design. The immediate, 3-months and 1-year post-procedural follow-up data were analyzed. Results The baseline mean systolic diameters in the distal main pulmonary artery (MPA), MPA sinus junction, MPA sinus, pulmonary annulus, RVOT aneurysm and muscular outlet measured with computed tomography were 33.6 ± 6.1, 34.0 ± 5.8, 37.9 ± 6.0, 32.4 ± 7.3, 41.9 ± 9.3, and 34.4 ± 8.0 mm, respectively. The PT-Valve landing zone was set within these levels. Successful valve implantations were achieved in all patients without noticeable device malposition, coronary artery compression, pulmonary branch obstruction or paravalvular leak during follow-ups. Post-procedural pulmonary artery diastolic pressure increased from 5.8 ± 3.1 to 11.3 ± 2.5 mmHg. In the 3-month and 1-year follow-up, the right ventricular end diastolic volume index reduced from the baseline 181.6 ± 29.0 to 143.7 ± 29.7 ml/m2 and 123.4 ± 31.2 ml/m2, and the trans-pulmonary valve gradient decreased from 25.6 ± 22.2 to 10.64 ± 3.54 mmHg and 11.16 ± 3.0 mmHg, respectively. The 6-min walk distance increased from 416.6 ± 97.9 to 455.9 ± 64.6 m and 467.8 ± 61.2 m, respectively. Conclusion This clinical trial revealed favorable outcomes for the safety, efficacy and feasibility of the Med-Zenith PT-Valve in the treatment of severe PR with significantly enlarged RVOT.

Abstract
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anomalies comprise a wide spectrum of congenital heart disease, typically characterized by obstruction to flow from the right ventricle to pulmonary arteries. This review highlights important considerations surrounding management strategy as well as clinical outcomes for the neonate with RVOT anomaly, including: pulmonary atresia with intact ventricular septum, congenital pulmonary valve stenosis, tetralogy of Fallot, and Ebstein anomaly with anatomic or physiologic RVOT obstruction.

Abstract
Transcatheter device intervention is now offered as first line therapy for many congenital heart defects (CHD) which were traditionally treated with cardiac surgery. While off-label use of devices is common and appropriate, a growing number of devices are now specifically designed and approved for use in CHD. Advanced imaging is now an integral part of interventional procedures including pre-procedure planning, intra-procedural guidance, and post-procedure monitoring. There is robust societal and industrial support for research and development of CHD-specific devices, and the regulatory framework at the national and international level is patient friendly. It is against this backdrop that we review transcatheter implantable devices for CHD, the role and integration of advanced imaging, and explore the current regulatory framework for device approval.

Abstract
Dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tracts after a repair for tetralogy of Fallot using a transannular patch offer limited nonsurgical opportunities due to their large dimensions. A discrete subannular narrowing between a dilated right ventricle and the enlarged pulmonary trunk was a potential anatomical target for the creation of a landing zone using a prestent in a young male with severe pulmonary regurgitation and moderate stenosis. Asymmetric expansion of the prestent in the angulated outflow tract led to distal stent embolization that was stabilized by another telescoping stent before successful valve implantation. This manuscript details the unique challenges posed by a dilated regurgitant outflow tract for implanting a pulmonary valve.

Abstract
Background : Balloon-expandable pulmonary valves are usually not suitable for dilated native outflow tracts. Methods : Indian Venus P-valve registry was retrospectively analyzed for efficacy, complications, and midterm outcomes. Straight valve was used in prestented conduits in patients with right ventricular pressure above two-thirds systemic pressure and/or right ventricular dysfunction. Flared valve 1–4 mm larger than balloon waist was used in native outflow in symptomatic patients, large ventricular volumes, and ventricular dysfunction. Objectives : A self-expanding porcine pericardial Venus P-valve is available in straight and flared designs.. Results : Twenty-nine patients were included. Straight valve was successful in all seven conduits, reducing gradients significantly, including one patient with left pulmonary artery (LPA) stent. Flared valve was successfully implanted in 20 out of 22 native outflow tracts. Sharp edges of the older design contributed to two failures. Complications included two migrations with one needing surgery, endocarditis in one, insignificant wire-frame fractures in three, and groin vascular complication in one patient. There were no deaths or valve-related reinterventions at a mean follow-up of 47.8 ± 24.5 months (1–85 months). Modifications of technique succeeded in three patients with narrow LPA. There was significant improvement in symptoms, right ventricular volume, and pulmonary regurgitant fraction. Conclusion : Straight and flared Venus P-valves are safe and effective in appropriate outflow tracts. Straight valve is an alternative to balloon-expandable valves in stenosed conduits. Flared valve is suitable for large outflows up to 34 mm, including patients with LPA stenosis. Recent design modifications may correct previous technical failures. Studies should focus on durability and late complications.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that narrowing the landing zone using commercially available endografts would enable transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) using commercially available transcatheter heart valves. BACKGROUND TPVR is challenging in an outsized native or patch-repaired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). Downsizing the RVOT for TPVR is currently possible only using investigational devices. In patients ineligible because of excessive RVOT size, TPVR landing zones were created using commercially available endografts. METHODS Consecutive patients with native or patch-repaired RVOTs and high or prohibitive surgical risk were reviewed, and this report describes the authors' experience with endograft-facilitated TPVR (EF-TPVR) offered to patients ineligible for investigational or commercial devices. All EF-TPVR patients were surgery ineligible, with symptomatic, severe pulmonary insufficiency, enlarged RVOTs, and severe right ventricular (RV) enlargement (>150 ml/m2). TPVR and surgical pulmonary valve replacement (SPVR) were compared in patients with less severe RV enlargement. RESULTS Fourteen patients had large RVOTs unsuitable for conventional TPVR; 6 patients (1 surgery ineligible) received investigational devices, and 8 otherwise ineligible patients underwent compassionate EF-TPVR (n = 5 with tetralogy of Fallot). Three strategies were applied on the basis of progressively larger RVOT size: single-barrel, in situ fenestrated, and double-barrel endografts as required to anchor 1 (single-barrel and fenestrated) or 2 (double-barrel) transcatheter heart valves. All were technically successful, without procedure-related, 30-day, or in-hospital deaths. Two late complications (stent obstruction and embolization) were treated percutaneously. One patient died of ventricular tachycardia 36 days after EF-TPVR. Compared with 48 SPVRs, RV enlargement was greater, but 30-day and 1-year mortality and readmission were no different. The mean transvalvular pressure gradient was lower after EF-TPVR (3.8 ± 0.8 mm Hg vs. 10.7 ± 4.1 mm Hg; p < 0.001; 30 days). More than mild pulmonary insufficiency was equivalent in both (EF-TPVR 0.0% [n = 0 of 8] vs. SPVR 4.3% [n = 1 of 43]; p = 1.00; 30 days). CONCLUSIONS EF-TPVR may be an alternative for patients with pulmonic insufficiency and enlarged RVOTs ineligible for other therapies.

Abstract
Transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty for the treatment of aortic and pulmonary valve stenosis was first described nearly 40 years ago. Since that time, the technique has been refined in an effort to optimize acute outcomes while reducing the long-term need for reintervention and valve replacement. Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is considered first-line therapy for pulmonary valve stenosis and generally results in successful relief of valvar obstruction. Larger balloon to annulus (BAR) diameter ratios can increase the risk for significant valvar regurgitation. However, the development of regurgitation resulting in right ventricular dilation and dysfunction necessitating pulmonary valve replacement is uncommon in long-term follow-up. Balloon aortic valvuloplasty has generally been the first-line therapy for aortic valve stenosis, although some contemporary studies have documented improved outcomes following surgical valvuloplasty in a subset of patients who achieve tri-leaflet valve morphology following surgical repair. Over time, progressive aortic regurgitation is common and frequently results in the need for aortic valve replacement. Neonates with critical aortic valve stenosis remain a particularly high-risk group. More contemporary data suggest that acutely achieving an aortic valve gradient <35 mm Hg with mild aortic regurgitation may improve long-term valve performance and reduce the need for valve replacement. Continued study will help to further improve outcomes and reduce the need for future reinterventions.

Abstract
Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) obstruction is present in a variety of congenital heart disease states including tetralogy of Fallot, pulmonary atresia/stenosis and other conotruncal abnormalities etc. After surgical repair, these patients develop RVOT residual abnormalities of pulmonic stenosis and/or insufficiency of their native outflow tract or right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit. There are also sequelae of other surgeries like the Ross operation for aortic valve disease that lead to right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit dysfunction. Surgical pulmonic valve replacement (SPVR) has been the mainstay for these patients and is considered standard of care. Transcatheter pulmonic valve implantation (TPVI) was first reported in 2000 and has made strides as a comparable alternative to SPVR, being approved in the United States in 2010. We provide a comprehensive review in this space–indications for TPVI, detailed procedural facets and up-to-date review of the literature regarding outcomes of TPVI. TPVI has been shown to have favorable medium-term outcomes free of re-interventions especially after the adoption of the practice of pre-stenting the RVOT. Procedural mortality and complications are uncommon. With more experience, recognition of risk of dreaded outcomes like coronary compression has improved. Also, conduit rupture is increasingly being managed with transcatheter tools. Questions over endocarditis risk still prevail in the TPVI population. Head-to-head comparisons to SPVR are still limited but available data suggests equivalence. We also discuss newer valve technologies that have limited data currently and may have more applicability for treatment of native dysfunctional RVOT substrates.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There are limited published data focused on outcomes of transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) with either a Sapien XT or Sapien 3 (S3) valve. OBJECTIVES This study sought to report short-term outcomes in a large cohort of patients who underwent TPVR with either a Sapien XT or S3 valve. METHODS Data were entered retrospectively into a multicenter registry for patients who underwent attempted TPVR with a Sapien XT or S3 valve. Patient-related, procedural, and short-term outcomes data were characterized overall and according to type of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) anatomy. RESULTS Twenty-three centers enrolled a total of 774 patients: 397 (51%) with a native/patched RVOT; 183 (24%) with a conduit; and 194 (25%) with a bioprosthetic valve. The S3 was used in 78% of patients, and the XT was used in 22%, with most patients receiving a 29-mm (39%) or 26-mm (34%) valve. The implant was technically successful in 754 (97.4%) patients. Serious adverse events were reported in 67 patients (10%), with no difference between RVOT anatomy groups. Fourteen patients underwent urgent surgery. Nine patients had a second valve implanted. Among patients with available data, tricuspid valve injury was documented in 11 (1.7%), and 9 others (1.3%) had new moderate or severe regurgitation 2 grades higher than pre-implantation, for 20 (3.0%) total patients with tricuspid valve complications. Valve function at discharge was excellent in most patients, but 58 (8.5%) had moderate or greater pulmonary regurgitation or maximum Doppler gradients >40 mm Hg. During limited follow-up (n = 349; median: 12 months), 9 patients were diagnosed with endocarditis, and 17 additional patients underwent surgical valve replacement or valve-in-valve TPVR. CONCLUSIONS Acute outcomes after TPVR with balloon-expandable valves were generally excellent in all types of RVOT. Additional data and longer follow-up will be necessary to gain insight into these issues.

Abstract
Purpose of Review Cardiac catheterization therapies to treat or palliate infants, children and adults with congenital heart disease have developed rapidly worldwide in both technical innovation and device development in the previous three decades. By reviewing of current status of novel or development of devices and techniques, we will discuss what is likely to happen in paediatric heart intervention in the next decade. Recent Findings Recently, biodegradable stents and devices, transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation for the native right ventricle outflow tract and MRI-guided interventions have been progressing rapidly with good immediate to early results. These are expected to be introduced and spread in the next decade although there are still challenges to overcome. Summary The future of paediatric heart intervention is very promising with rapid development of technological progress.
