Transcatheter valves
Harmony™ transcatheter pulmonary valve
The Harmony™ transcatheter pulmonary valve is designed to treat severe pulmonary regurgitation in patients with a native or surgically-repaired RVOT.
Description
Harmony™ transcatheter pulmonary valve (TPV) is the first FDA-approved transcatheter valve system specifically designed to treat severe pulmonary regurgitation in patients with a native or surgically-repaired right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). This valve offers your patients a minimally invasive treatment option

Valve and system overview
The Harmony™ transcatheter pulmonary valve is specifically designed for the native RVOT.
Fully-sheathed delivery system
This delivery system is highly trackable through the vasculature.1
Fully-sheathed delivery system
The Harmony™ TPV is constructed of a self-expanding nitinol frame made up of individual wire struts, designed to conform to the native RVOT anatomy.
Pericardial leaflets
Porcine pericardial leaflets provide excellent kinematics across the full range of pressures of the right heart.2,3
Valve features
