Study Summary

The MASA Valve Early Feasibility Study (MVEFS) multi-site interventional clinical trial within the United States of America with each center following a common protocol.The objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and probable benefit of MASA Valve in the indicated subset of patients requiring Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reconstruction (RVOTR). As an early feasibility study, the purpose is determine the feasibility of success of the device in order to gather early data towards a future pivotal study and/or regulatory clearance submission.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. At least one of the following: Right Ventricular to Pulmonary Artery mean gradient > 35mm Hg, moderate or severe Pulmonary regurgitation (≥3+), or clinical indicationfor replacement of their native or prosthetic pulmonary valve with a prosthesis.

  2. Age < 22 years

  3. Patient is geographically stable and willing to return for 1 year follow-up for thetrial.

  4. Patient's legal guardian should be willing to provide informed consent (IC) at thehospital location where they are being enrolled.

  5. The patient, and the patient's parent / legal representative where appropriate, andthe treating physician agree that the subject will return for all requiredpost-procedure follow up visits and the subject will comply with clinicalinvestigation plan required follow-up visits.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Patient is in need of or has presence of a prosthetic heart valve at any otherposition

  2. Patient has a need for concomitant surgical procedures (non-cardiac)

  3. Patients with previously implanted pacemaker (including defibrillators) ormechanical valves

  4. Patient has an active bacterial or viral infection or requiring current antibiotictherapy (if temporary illness, patient may be a candidate 4 weeks afterdiscontinuation of antibiotics)

  5. Patient has an active endocarditis

  6. Leukopenia, according to local laboratory evaluation of white blood cell count

  7. Acute or chronic anemia, according to local laboratory evaluation of hemoglobinPatients can be transfused to meet eligibility criteria

  8. Thrombocytopenia, defined as Platelet count < 150,000/mm3 Patients can be transfusedto meet eligibility criteria

  9. Severe chest wall deformity, which would preclude placement of the PV conduit

  10. Known hypersensitivity to anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs and to the devicematerials

  11. Immunocompromised patient defined as: autoimmune disease, patients receivingimmunosuppressant drugs or immune stimulant drugs

  12. Patient has chronic inflammatory / autoimmune disease

  13. Need for emergency cardiac or vascular surgery or intervention

  14. Major or progressive non-cardiac disease (liver failure, renal failure, cancer) thathas a life expectancy of less than one year

  15. Currently participating, or participated within the last 30 days, in aninvestigational drug or device study

  16. Alcohol or drug abuse as defined by DSM IV-TR criteria for substance abuse - thisincludes the illicit use of cannabis within the last 12 months

  17. Patient has medical, social or psychosocial factors that, in the opinion of theInvestigator, could have impact on safety or compliance

Study Description

The MASA Valve is a bi-leaflet pulmonary valved conduit. The MASA Valve has an ePTFE conduit and ePTFE leaflets fixtured to the conduit with polypropylene suture. The device has a pad-printed design on the outer conduit surface indicating the valve position and direction of flow. .

The MASA Valve is intended to be used to reconstruction the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) and provide a functional pulmonary valve. Once implanted, the MASA Valve provides a pathway for blood from the Right Ventricle (RV) to the Pulmonary Arteries (PAs), while the integrated valve helps to prevent backflow into the RV. The MASA Valve Indications for Use are:

The MASA Valve pulmonary valved conduit is indicated for correction or reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) in patients aged less than 22 years with any of the following congenital cardiac malformations:

  • Pulmonary Stenosis

  • Tetralogy of Fallot

  • Truncus Arteriosus

  • Transposition of Great Vessels

  • Pulmonary Atresia

In addition, the MASA Valve is indicated for the replacement of previously implanted, but dysfunctional, pulmonary valves, valved conduits or conduits, as well as for use in the Ross Procedure when the native RVOT is being used to reconstruct the Aorta.

Treatments currently available for the above-stated conditions include biologic-tissue-based valved conduits (Homografts and Contegra Glutaraldehyde-fixed Bovine Jugular Vein), Intra-operatively constructed valved conduits made from off-the-shelf vascular grafts and cardiovascular membranes, and non-valved cardiovascular conduits. Based on existing evidence it is believed the potential benefits of MASA Valve outweigh the potential risks.
