Forty subjects were in NYHA class I\u2013II while 23 were in NYHA class III\u2013IV. Patients included had a history of a median three previous surgeries (range 1\u20135) and a median of one previous cardiac catheterization (range 0\u20134). A cono\u2010truncal disease was present in 39 patients, previous Ross operation in 9, and other diagnosis in 15. Indication to valve implantation was pure stenosis in 21 patients, pure regurgitation in 12, association of stenosis and regurgitation in 30. Implantation was performed in 61 subjects (97%). Pre\u2010stenting was performed in 85% of cases. Median procedure time was 170 minutes (range 85\u2013360). No significant regurgitation was recorded after procedure while the trans\u2010pulmonary gradient reduced significantly. Early major complications occurred in seven subjects (11%). One death occurred in the early post\u2010operative period in a severely ill subject. At a median follow\u2010up of 30 months (range 12\u201348 months), three patients died due to underlying disease. Major complications occurred in six patients during follow\u2010up (external electric cardioversion: one patient; herpes virus encephalitis: two patients; Melody valve endocarditis needing surgical explant: two patients; major fractures of the stent and need second Melody valve implantation: two patients). Freedom from valve failure at latest follow\u2010up was 81.4% \u00b1 9%.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Early results of the SICP registry on transcatheter Melody pulmonary valve implantation show that the procedure is safe and successful.
