What Are the Treatments Tested in This Trial?

Interventions

• Xeltis Bioabsorbable Pulmonary Valved Conduit

Trial Overview The study tests the Xeltis Bioabsorbable Pulmonary Valved Conduit in a single group of participants without comparing it to other treatments. It's designed to see if this new type of heart valve can help correct blood flow issues caused by congenital heart malformations.

How Is the Trial Designed?

Group I: Xeltis Bioabsorbable Pulmonary Valved Conduit Experimental Treatment 1 Intervention

The Bioabsorbable Pulmonary Valved Conduit bio-absorbable, polymer-based medical device. The PV conduit is used in patients for correction or reconstruction of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT), in patients less than 22 years with any of the following congenital heart malformations: * Tetralogy of Fallot * Truncus Arteriosus * Pulmonary Atresia * Transposition of Great Arteries with Ventricular Septal Defect * Pulmonary Stenosis in combination with other defects in congenital heart defect (CHD) syndromes In addition, the PV conduit can be used for the following indications: * replacement of previously implanted, but dysfunctional, pulmonary homografts or valved conduits (except for mechanical valves, see exclusion criterion 3). * Patients undergoing a Ross procedure, where the PV conduit would replace the patient's own pulmonary valve which is used to replace a diseased aortic valve.
