Background and Objectives

Data on the real-world performance of PULSTA™ transcatheter pulmonary valve implantation (TPVI) in patients with native right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) dysfunction remain limited. We aim to evaluate the real-world safety and mid-term effectiveness of the self-expanding PULSTA™ transcatheter pulmonary valve in patients with native RVOT dysfunction.

Methods

This multicenter, prospective, post-marketing surveillance study enrolled 299 patients who underwent PULSTA™ TPVI at 11 tertiary centers in South Korea between October 2019 and September 2024.

Results

The mean age was 28.6±11.5 years, and 50.2% were male; tetralogy of Fallot was the most common underlying diagnosis (84.3%). Procedural success was achieved in 99% of the patients. All patients had moderate or severe pulmonary regurgitation at baseline, which improved to mild or less during follow-up after valve implantation. New York Heart Association functional class improved in 78.8% of patients by at least 1 class at 1 year. No deaths occurred during the follow-up. Serious procedure- or device-related adverse events occurred in 6 patients (2.0%). Catheter-based re-interventions were not required. Four patients underwent surgical reoperation for valve embolization (n=1), valve dislocation (n=2), or infective endocarditis (n=1).

Conclusions

PULSTA™ TPVI demonstrated favorable mid-term safety and sustained functional and hemodynamic outcomes in a real-world population with native RVOT dysfunction.
