Autus Valve Pivotal Study (NCT05006404)

Autus Size-Adjustable Valve for Surgical Pulmonary Valve Replacement Pivotal Study

πŸ”΅ Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic βš™οΈ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: Edwards Lifesciences

🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Prospective, single-arm, multi-center study to evaluate safety and effectiveness of the Autus Size-Adjustable Valve in pediatric patients aged 18 months to 16 years requiring surgical pulmonary valve replacement. The Autus Valve may be expanded pre-implant to match the subject's body size. Subjects will be evaluated prior to the Autus Valve implant procedure, immediately post-implant, at hospital discharge, 30 days, 6 months, and annually through 10 years. The Autus Valve may be expanded post-implant via transcatheter balloon dilation to accommodate growth of the subject. In subjects who undergo a post-implant valve expansion, follow-up will continue for a minimum of 1 year after the post-implant valve expansion procedure.
