New Pulmonary Valve Study for Kids Needing Replacement
Part of Genetic & congenital, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 18 months and 16 years old.
- Your child needs a replacement for their pulmonary valve (the valve that lets blood flow from the heart to the lungs).
- The doctors have recommended a surgical pulmonary valve replacement.
- An echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) shows severe narrowing, moderate-to-severe leaking, or both of the pulmonary valve.
- Your child is healthy enough to undergo surgery and has no serious infections or blood disorders.

This study looks at how well a new device works to control blood flow to the lungs in children with heart problems. It reviews medical records of children who had this device placed in their lung arteries.
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.
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.
This study looks at a new device called the PULSTA Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve, which is placed without open-heart surgery to help people with a leaky or narrowed pulmonary valve. It aims to see how well the valve works 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 is testing a new way to replace a damaged heart valve using a donated valve (allograft) that may last longer and work better for children and young adults. It may be a good option if you need a new valve and have few other choices.
