Pediheart Podcast #266: How Is The Harmony Valve Performing At One Year?

This week we delve into the world of interventional cardiology and specifically that of transcatheter valves when we review a recent report on the Harmony valve. How are these valves performing at one year in regards to valvular function? Is frame fracture an issue? What percentage required reintervention? How common was ventricular tachycardia seen? Should patients undergoing these implantations undergo pre-procedural EP studies? We review these questions and more with the first author of this work, noted authority on interventional cardiology, Dr. Matthew J. Gillespie, Professor of Pediatrics at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcin.2023.03.002
