Portico Re-sheathable Transcatheter Aortic Valve System US IDE Trial
Description
Brief Summary
The objective of the PORTICO pivotal IDE trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of
the St Jude Medical (SJM) Portico Transcatheter Heart Valve and Delivery Systems (Portico) in
the treatment of severe symptomatic aortic stenosis via transfemoral and alternative delivery
methods in high risk and extreme risk patients.
Detailed Description
The PORTICO pivotal IDE trial will include a randomized cohort of 750 subjects enrolled at up
to 70 investigational sites in the United States and Australia. Patients will be randomized
(1:1) to receive the SJM Portico Transcatheter Heart Valve and Delivery Systems (Portico) or
any FDA-approved, commercially-available Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)
System. The randomized cohort will be tested for two co-primary endpoints at 30 days (primary
safety endpoint) and 1 year (primary effectiveness endpoint). At the time of the primary
randomized cohort analysis, the risk cohorts will be combined and analysis will be conducted
on the intention-to-treat (n=750) population.
The FlexNav Delivery System study will be conducted as a separate arm of the PORTICO IDE
trial and will include up to 200 high or extreme risk subjects; including a minimum of 100
analysis subjects. The study will characterize the safety of the next-generation Portico
Delivery System ("FlexNav™ Delivery System"). The primary analysis cohort will include
FlexNav analysis subjects.
The IDE Valve-in-Valve registry will enroll up to 100 high or extreme risk subjects with a
failed surgical bioprosthesis who are eligible to receive a Portico Transcatheter Heart
Valve.
All subjects enrolled in the PORTICO pivotal IDE trial will undergo follow-up at baseline,
peri- and post-procedure, at discharge or 7 days post-procedure (whichever comes first), 30
days, 6 months, 12-months and then annually through 5-years.
Phase
N/AInclusion and Exclusion Criteria
- Inclusion Criteria
- Subjects must have co-morbidities such that the surgeon and cardiologist Co-Investigators concur that the predicted risk of operative mortality is ≥15% or a minimum Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) score of 8%. A candidate who does not meet the STS score criteria of ≥ 8% can be included in the study if a peer review by at least two surgeons concludes and documents that the patient's predicted risk of operative mortality is ≥15%. The surgeon's assessment of operative comorbidities not captured by the STS score must be documented in the study case report form as well as in the patient medical record.
- Subject is 21 years of age or older at the time of consent.
- Subject has senile degenerative aortic valve stenosis with echocardiographically derived criteria: mean gradient >40 mmHg or jet velocity greater than 4.0 m/s or Doppler Velocity Index <0.25 and an initial aortic valve area (AVA) of ≤ 1.0 cm2 (indexed effective orifice area (EOA) ≤ 0.6 cm2/m2). (Qualifying AVA baseline measurement must be within 60 days prior to informed consent).
- Subject has symptomatic aortic stenosis as demonstrated by New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification of II, III, or IV.
- The subject has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of the respective clinical site.
- The subject and the treating physician agree that the subject will return for all required post-procedure follow-up visits.
- Subject's aortic annulus is 19-27mm diameter as measured by computerized tomography (CT) conducted within 12 months prior to informed consent. Note: if CT is contraindicated and/or not possible to be obtained for certain subjects, a 3D echo and non-contrast CT of chest and abdomen/pelvis may be accepted if approved by the subject selection committee. For a subject to be considered an Extreme Risk candidate they must meet # 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 of the above criteria, and
- The subject, after formal consults by a cardiologist and two cardiovascular surgeons agree that medical factors preclude operation, based on a conclusion that the probability of death or serious, irreversible morbidity exceeds the probability of meaningful improvement. Specifically, the probability of death or serious, irreversible morbidity should exceed 50%. The surgeons' consult notes shall specify the medical or anatomic factors leading to that conclusion and include a printout of the calculation of the STS score to additionally identify the risks in these patients. Exclusion Criteria
- Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction (defined as: ST Segment Elevation as evidenced on 12 Lead ECG) within 30 days prior to index procedure.
- Aortic valve is a congenital unicuspid or congenital bicuspid valve or is non-calcified as verified by echocardiography.
- Mixed aortic valve disease (aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation with predominant aortic regurgitation 3-4+).
- Any percutaneous coronary or peripheral interventional procedure performed within 30 days prior to index procedure.
- Pre-existing prosthetic heart valve or other implant in any valve position, prosthetic ring, severe circumferential mitral annular calcification (MAC) which is continuous with calcium in the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT), severe (greater than 3+) mitral insufficiency, or severe mitral stenosis with pulmonary compromise. Subjects with pre-existing surgical bioprosthetic aortic heart valve should be considered for the Valve-in-Valve registry.
- Blood dyscrasias as defined: leukopenia (WBC<3000 mm3), acute anemia (Hb < 9 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelet count <50,000 cells/mm³).
- History of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy.
- Cardiogenic shock manifested by low cardiac output, vasopressor dependence, or mechanical hemodynamic support.
- Untreated clinically significant coronary artery disease requiring revascularization.
- Hemodynamic instability requiring inotropic support or mechanical heart assistance.
- Need for emergency surgery for any reason.
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with or without obstruction (HOCM).
- Severe ventricular dysfunction with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) <20% as measured by resting echocardiogram.
- Echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation.
- Active peptic ulcer or upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within 3 months prior to index procedure.

- Subject has a hostile chest or other condition that complicates transaortic access.
