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

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.
