What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of the GORE PV1 Device, which is used to replace a damaged heart valve and repair a part of the heart. It targets patients who need their pulmonary valve replaced and their Right Ventricular Outflow Tract fixed. The device helps the heart pump blood more efficiently by taking over the function of the damaged valve and repairing the heart's structure.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial coordinators or your doctor.

How does the GORE PV1 treatment for pulmonary valve dysfunction differ from other treatments?

The GORE PV1 device is unique because it is specifically designed for pulmonary valve dysfunction, potentially offering a less invasive option compared to traditional surgical valve replacements. While other treatments often involve complex surgeries, the GORE PV1 may provide a more straightforward approach, although specific details about its mechanism or administration are not provided in the available research. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

What data supports the effectiveness of the GORE PV1 treatment for pulmonary valve dysfunction?

The research on pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in patients with tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) shows that PVR can reduce pulmonary regurgitation (leakage of blood back into the heart) and improve heart function. This suggests that treatments like the GORE PV1, which address similar valve issues, may also be effective in improving heart function and reducing symptoms. ^{1 6 7 8 9}

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for individuals aged 5 or older with a congenital heart defect requiring pulmonary valve replacement or RVOT reconstruction. It's not suitable for those with artificial valves elsewhere, pacemakers, or severe non-cardiac diseases like liver failure, renal failure, or cancer with a life expectancy under one year.

Inclusion Criteria

I am 5 years old or older.

I need surgery for a heart valve issue due to symptoms or a doctor's advice.

Exclusion Criteria

You have a pacemaker or defibrillator implanted in your body.

I do not have a major illness with a life expectancy of less than one year.

I have or will need an artificial valve replacement soon.
