The COMPASSION S3 study is testing a special heart valve called the Edwards Lifesciences SAPIEN 3. This valve is used for people with problems in the heart area known as the pulmonary valve, which is a part of the heart that helps blood flow to the lungs. The study aims to see if this valve is safe and works well for patients.
Key Points:
- The study lasts for a certain period, and you will need to visit the clinic for check-ups.
- Participants must weigh at least 44 pounds and have specific heart conditions to join.
- There are some risks, like allergic reactions, and certain conditions may exclude you from participating.
To join, you must not have active infections, blood disorders, or be pregnant. You should not have had recent heart procedures or have certain allergies. The study involves signing a consent form, which means you understand what the study is about and agree to take part. If you meet the requirements, this study may offer a chance to try a new treatment for your heart condition.
