Brief Summary

The Melody valve has historically been used for pulmonary valve replacements; however it has been more recently used in the mitral and tricuspid positions. This multi-center, retrospective, observational study will review the durability of the Melody valve inserted into the mitral or tricuspid positions. Patients who have undergone Melody valve insertion into either the mitral or tricuspid positions prior to December, 2014 will be eligible for the study. Basic de-identified patient demographics will be collected as well as select clinical data. Ventricular function and valvar function of the affected valve will be retrospectively reviewed both prior to surgery and following, as well as review of operative data. The investigators will also review the most recent follow up data and any subsequent re-interventions on the Melody valve. Data from all sites will be entered into an external REDCap database, using only de-identified data.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Long term durability of Melody Valve in mitral and tricuspid positions, to be measured by degree of stenosis in Melody valve

    up to 5 years

  • Long term durability of Melody Valve in mitral and tricuspid positions, to be measured by grade of regurgitation in Melody valve

    up to 5 years

  • Long term durability of Melody Valve in mitral and tricuspid positions, to be measured by number of necessary re-interventions of Melody valve

    up to 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Mitral Valve Replacement

Review of retrospective data of those patients who have had surgical replacement of the mitral valve with the Melody valve.

Procedure: Valve replacement with the Melody valve

Tricuspid Valve Replacement

Review of retrospective data of those patients who have had surgical replacement of the tricuspid valve with the Melody valve.

Procedure: Valve replacement with the Melody valve

Interventions

This study will only review patients who have had the Melody valve surgically inserted into the Mitral and/or Tricuspid positions. We will not be reviewing any other intervention type.
