COMPASSION S3 - Evaluation of the SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve in Patients With Pulmonary Valve Dysfunction

Testing a valve for heart issues in a clinical trial.

Recruiting
All
Phase N/A

The study tests a new heart valve called the SAPIEN 3. It's for people with a problem in the pulmonary valve, which is part of the heart that helps blood go to the lungs. This study checks if the new valve is safe and works well. **Eligibility** includes those who weigh at least 44 pounds and have a specific heart issue needing treatment. The heart issue involves the right side of the heart, where blood flows to the lungs, being too narrow or having a faulty valve. Some people cannot join, like those with certain infections, blood problems, or who are pregnant.

  • This study involves a procedure to put in the new valve.
  • Participants will be checked often to ensure the valve is working and they are safe.
  • There are risks, like with any heart procedure, and it's important to discuss with doctors.
