Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Study: Post Approval Study of the Investigational Device Exemption Cohort

March 4, 2024 updated by: Medtronic Cardiovascular

Implantation of the Medtronic Melody Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve in Patients With Dysfunctional Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) Conduits: A Feasibility Study

The primary objective is to confirm the long-term functionality of implantation of the Medtronic Melody TPV at 5 years is no worse than the historical control established through literature review. The secondary objectives are to evaluate long-term functionality at 10 years and to assess safety, procedural success, and clinical utility of transcatheter implantation of the Melody TPV.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Kaplan-Meier Freedom From TPV Dysfunction
Time Frame: 5 years

To assess whether long-term functionality of implantation of the Medtronic Melody TPV at 5 years is no worse than the historical control established through literature review. This study is designed to test the null hypothesis that the true freedom from TPV dysfunction at 5 years after Melody implantation (PMelody) is less than or equal to 36% (PControl). To reject the null hypothesis means that freedom from TPV dysfunction at 5 years after Melody implantation (PMelody) is greater than 36% (PControl). The null (H0) and alternative (HA) hypotheses are written as follows:H0: PMelody ≤ PControl and HA: PMelody > PControl. TPV dysfunction is a composite outcome defined as the following:

  • Hemodynamic dysfunction of the TPV

    • Moderate or greater pulmonary regurgitation, and/or
    • Mean Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) gradient greater than 40 mmHg
  • RVOT reoperation for conduit dysfunction or device-related reasons
  • Catheter re-intervention on the TPV
5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Freedom From TPV Dysfunction at 10 Years
Time Frame: 10 years
The outcome measure for this objective is TPV dysfunction, which is a composite outcome defined as RVOT reoperation for conduit dysfunction or device-related reasons, catheter re-intervention on the TPV, or hemodynamic dysfunction of the TPV (moderate or greater pulmonary regurgitation, and/or a mean RVOT gradient greater than 40 mmHg).
10 years
Procedural Success
Time Frame: Within 24 Hours post implant

Procedural success is a composite outcome defined as:

  • Melody TPV fixated within the desired location

  • Less than mild pulmonary regurgitation by angiography post-implant
