New heart valve device offers hope for patients with congenital defects
NCT ID NCT03441971
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing a new device called the GORE PV1 to replace the pulmonary valve and rebuild the right ventricular outflow tract in people with congenital heart defects. The device is designed to improve blood flow from the heart to the lungs. The study includes 15 participants aged 5 and older and will check safety and how well the device works at 6 months after the procedure.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. A symptomatic or appropriate asymptomatic subject with a native or repaired right ventricular outflow tract requiring reconstruction with a valved conduit 2. Age ≥5 years at the time of informed consent signature. Note: Additional Inclusion Criteria may apply Exclusion Criteria: 1. An artificial valve at another position or will need an artificial valve at another position (i.e. replacement at the time of index procedure or anticipated within 3 years). 2. Subjects with previously implanted pacemaker (including defibrillators). 3. Major or progressive non-cardiac disease (liver failure, renal failure, cancer) that has a life expectancy of less than one year. Note: Additional Exclusion Criteria may apply
