Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are patients weighing at least 20 kg with a dysfunctional RVOT conduit or previously implanted valve and moderate pulmonary regurgitation.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active infections, certain blood disorders, or inappropriate anatomy for valve delivery may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This study evaluates the safety and effectiveness of the SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve in patients who have a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract conduit or a previously implanted valve in the pulmonic position. Participants must have a clinical indication for intervention and meet specific anatomical criteria for valve insertion. The study aims to provide a less invasive treatment option for patients with complex congenital heart defects and pulmonary valve issues.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this could offer a safer and more effective treatment option for patients with pulmonary valve dysfunction.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with transcatheter heart valves in similar patient populations, indicating potential for success in this approach.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Weight ≥ 20 kg (44 lbs.) 2. Dysfunctional RVOT conduit or previously implanted valve in the pulmonic position with a clinical indication for intervention and with a landing zone diameter ≥ 16.5 mm and ≤ 29 mm immediately prior to study device insertion as per the Instructions for Use 3.
