The Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R US Clinical Study
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has become a routine treatment option at specialized heart centers treating patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). Medtronic has developed modifications to the Medtronic CoreValve System Transcatheter Aortic Valve frame and delivery catheter system to enable recapture of the device before it is fully released from the delivery system. These modifications are incorporated in the CoreValve Evolut R System.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the CoreValve Evolut R System in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered at high through extreme risk for surgical aortic valve replacement.
This is a prospective, single arm, historical controlled, multi-center study. This study will involve no more than 250 subjects in up to 25 sites. The study population includes males and females with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis who are considered at high through extreme risk for surgical aortic valve replacement. Subjects will be followed up to 5 years following implantation.
Study endpoints are safety endpoints and efficacy endpoints. Safety endpoints are: All-cause mortality rate, stroke (disabling) rate, incidence of permanent pacemaker implant rate at 30 days. Efficacy endpoints are: Device success rate, Resheath and recapture success rate, percent of subjects with mild prosthetic regurgitation at early post-implant, hemodynamic performance metrics at 30 days.
Statistics/analysis: Subjects who are taken to the procedure room for implantation will comprise the study population evaluated for the study objectives and associated endpoints. An initial analysis will be performed when both of the following conditions are met:
1. The first 150 consecutive implanted subjects have completed their 30 day follow-up.
2. A total of 25 resheath or recapture attempts inclusive of all valve sizes, have been performed.
The final analysis will be performed after a minimum of 150 subjects but no greater than 250 subjects are implanted with the study device and followed for 5 years.
All endpoints are descriptive and no statistical hypothesis test will be performed.
Multi-CenTer Experience With the Rapid Deployment EDWARDS INTUITY Valve System FOR Aortic Valve ReplaceMent
This is a prospective, non-randomized, multi-center trial. Up to 950 subjects will be
enrolled at up to 35 centers in the US. After re-placement of their aortic heart valve with
the EDWARDS INTUITY valve system, each patient will have routine follow-up tests at the
following intervals: discharge, 3 months, 1 year, and annually the-reafter for a minimum of
five years.
Medtronic CoreValve® U.S. Expanded Use Study
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the
Medtronic CoreValve® System (MCS) in a subset of subjects excluded from the U.S. Extreme
Risk Pivotal Trial population due to one or more additional co-morbidities, as measured by a
composite of all-cause death or major stroke at 12 months, in the treatment of symptomatic
severe aortic stenosis in subjects necessitating aortic valve replacement. Subjects enrolled
in this study have a predicted operative mortality or serious, irreversible morbidity risk
of ≥50% at 30 days associated with surgical aortic valve replacement.
