Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Alternative Surgical Treatment for Aortic Valve Disease
Registration Number
NCT03600662

Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen
Brief Summary

Reconstruction of the aortic valve using the tri-leaflet repair technique is non-inferior with regard to effective orifice area (EOA) to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) with a biological prosthesis (St. Jude Trifecta GT) as gold- standard.
