TRANSCATHETER REPLACEMENT OF THE PULMONARY VALVE

Surgical implantation of valved aortic homografts orheterografts is the initial procedure of choice forpatients with tetralogy of Fallot and severe pulmonarystenosis or atresia. This surgical procedure can beperformed with low mortality and rate of complicationsin experienced centers, but valved conduits have limitedlifespan, less than 10 years. As a result, the majorityof patients with right ventricular outflow tract conduitswill undergo multiple re-operations with increasedcomplexity and surgical risk as a result of conduitstenosis and/or insufficiency, particularly, if the initialsurgery was performed early in life.

RATIONALE

Help to reduce the total number of surgeries over the patient’s lifetime by postponing time to surgery while

restoring pulmonic function

Option to intervene earlier, providing better outcomes for patients while avoiding

surgical complications


Available pulmonary valves

Melody® valve

Edwards – Sapien THV

Melody ® transcatheter pulmonary valve


The percutaneous implantation of pulmonaryvalve in patients with dysfunctioning RV topulmonary artery conduits is considered to bethe most exciting advancement ininterventional pediatric cardiology the last 5years.

CONDUIT FAILURE(Stenosis + insufficiency)

Progressive RV dilation can lead to eventual heart failure

Enlarged RV can be arrhythmogenic-AF

RV dysfunction can ultimately lead to LV dysfunction

RV failure can lead to early mortality

Timely intervention can save RV function and regress dilatation

CONCLUSIONS I

Transcatheter replacement of pulmonary valve using

the Medronic® pulmonary valve implant is a safe andeffective alternative to open heart surgery for thetreatment of selected patients with dysfunctioningvalve conduits. Close collaboration between CongenitalCardiac Surgery and Cardiology teams are key to long-term success!!


CONCLUSIONS II

RV to PA conduits are currently a great first step topulmonary blood-flow repair.

•The Melody™ in its current design is not intended toreplace the surgically placed conduit – but is insteadintended to extend the life of that conduit and reducethe number of operations over the total lifetime ofpatients . Further research is required to improve theimplantation techniques and outcome of

•percutaneous pulmonary valve replacement therapy andto extend it to all patients with a clinical indication to

•delay or avoid open heart surgery.

TRANSCATHETER REPLACEMENT OF THE TRICUSPID VALVE

CONCLUSIONS II

Transcatheter tricuspid valve in valve implantation

using the Medronic® pulmonary valve or the EdwardsSapien valve implants is a new techique that can beused as an effective alternative to surgical valvereplacemt in selective high risk patients withdisfunctioning biological tricuspid valves.However,further studies are required to document its efficasy,safety and long-term results in a larger patientpopulation.
