The Medtronic Harmony™ Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Clinical Study

September 9, 2025 updated by: Medtronic Heart Valves
The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony™ TPV system. The Pivotal/CAS phases of the study have transitioned into a post-approval study to confirm the long-term functionality of transcatheter implantation of the Medtronic Harmony TPV.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The continued clinical experience addendum is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, interventional study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony TPV system. All implanted subjects will receive the Harmony TPV 22 or Harmony mTPV 25 device. This phase allows up to 45 subjects implanted with TPV 22 in the United States and Canada, and up to 84 subjects implanted with mTPV 25 in the United States.

The Post Approval Phase (PAS) addendum is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, post-market study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony TPV system in the United States. All implanted subjects have been implanted with the Harmony TPV 22 or Harmony mTPV 25 device during the pivotal or CAS phase of the study. The PAS addendum extends follow-up from five years to ten years for consenting subjects.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Other: Harmony TPV System
Intervention Device: Harmony Transcatheter Pulmonary Valves and Delivery Systems

The Harmony™ TPV (Model NTPV0022) is comprised of a 22mm porcine pericardium valve, sewn to a polyester-covered nitinol frame.

The Harmony TPV 25 and mTPV 25 (Model HTPV254952 and HTPV254252, respectively) is comprised of a 25mm porcine pericardium valve, sewn to a polyester covered asymmetrical hourglass nitinol frame with larger diameter inflow and outflow as well as shorter length compared to TPV 22 (Harmony TPV 25 Model HTPV254952 is not applicable for Continued Clinical Experience).

The Harmony Delivery System (DS) for the TPV 22, TPV 25, and mTPV 25 (NTPVDS0022 and HTPVDS0025) are all 25 Fr delivery systems using a coil loading catheter.
