The Melody^TM Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve can be seen deployed in the poisition of the native pulmonary valve of this human heart. For orientation, the interventricular septum is to the upper left, with the free wall of the RV opposite. A septal papillary muscle of the tricuspid valve can also be seen at the top of the screen.

Active Fixation Lead

The CapSureFix^® Novus 5076 positioned in the right atrial appendage. The crista terminalis is the smooth arc in the left and upper left of the screen, the tip of the appendage is to the upper left behind the crista terminalis, and the tricuspid valve is off the screen to the bottom.

Passive Fixation Lead

The CapSure^® Sense 4574 in the tip of the right atrial appendage. The tricuspid valve is directly behind the camera and the septal wall to the left.

The tip of the right atrial appendage is in the center, the septal wall to the left, and the tricuspid valve behind the camera.

HIGH SEPTUM

Active Fixation Lead

The CapSureFix^® Novus 5076 positioned high on the interatrial septum of the right atrium. The lead is entering the right atrium from the superior vena cava cannula in the center of the screen. The right atrial appendage is ot the right and upper right, the coronary sinus ostium off the screen to the left, and the tricuspid valve behind the camera.

Anatomic View

The interatrial septum from the right atrium is in the center of the screen, the appendage to the right and upper right, and the coronary sinus ostium off the screen to the lower left. The tricuspid valve is directly behind the camera.

LOW SEPTUM

Active Fixation Lead

The CapSureFix^® Novus 5076 positioned low on the interatrial septum in the right atrium. The coronary sinus ostium is to the upper left, the tricuspid valve to the bottom, and the appendage behind the camera.
