Testing a new pulmonary valve replacement in children
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests an early, first-use version of a new pulmonary valve device for children whose own valve is not working well. It may help improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs and aims to learn how safe and effective the valve is over time.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be under age 22, or a guardian can enroll you if you’re a minor
- Your care team must recommend pulmonary valve replacement for you (or you have certain valve/pressure problems)
- You and your guardian must be able and willing to return for all checkups for 1 year
- A parent or legal guardian must agree and sign consent at the enrolling hospital
- You should not have a heart valve replacement already anywhere else in the heart
- You must not have certain infections, blood count problems, or other conditions that raise risk

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at whether placing a small tube (stent) in a branch pulmonary artery can improve blood flow and heart function after specific childhood heart surgeries. It is meant for people who have d-TGA after ASO, or have ToF or TA, and need a branch PA intervention.
This study tests a new type of replacement valve for children who need a new pulmonary valve (the valve between the heart and lungs). Researchers want to see if the valve works safely and well in real-world use.
This study compares doing a valve replacement earlier versus later in people born with Tetralogy of Fallot who already had heart surgery as babies. It may help decide the safest timing to protect heart function, especially right-sided pumping and valve leakage.
This trial studies a surgery approach to help fix a narrowed or leaking aortic valve in children. It aims to see how well the reconstructed valve works and how it affects the child’s heart function over time.
This study tests whether a new type of heart valve made from your own tissue (an “autologous” valve) can be placed through a catheter safely in adults with leaking and pressure-related problems in the lung heart valve area. If it works well, it could offer a safer option for people who need treatment for pulmonary valve problems.
This study tests a new less-invasive heart valve (VenusP-Valve) for people whose own pulmonary valve is leaking severely. If you qualify, you could get the new valve without open-heart surgery.
