Pulmonary Valved Conduit – Velum

A bovine pericardium conduit with a porcine pulmonary valve situated in the middle portion of the conduit, with its distal and proximal portions fully open.
Blood flow is indicated by an external suture located over the pulmonary valve. These characteristics make Velum a solution for use in the correction of congenital heart diseases, palliative or definitive procedures.
Velum is indicated for correction or reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract, preferably in patients younger than 18 years of age. Velum can be used in the correction of the following congenital heart defects:
· Pulmonary stenosis
· Pulmonary Atresia
· Tetralogy of Fallot
· Truncus Arteriosus
· Transposition with intraventricular communication.
Also indicated for replacement of homologous conduits or valved conduits previously implanted not functioning.
