safety and efficacy of Haemodynamx device for aortic stenosis

Phase 1/2
Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Nonrheumatic aortic (valve) stenosis,
Registration Number
CTRI/2024/05/067405
Lead Sponsor
Translumina Therapeutics LLP
Brief Summary

The Hemodynamx System (the study device) is designed to treat patients with severe, degenerative aortic stenosis, by increasing the aortic valve effective orifice area (EOA), thus reducing left ventricular (LV) pressure.Advantages of the Hemodynamx System compared to SAVR or TAVR include:Lower risk, by preserving the integrity of the heart without contact with the conduction system or native aortic valve. This would eliminate the risk of a permanent pacemaker, paravalvular leak, or debris emboli from the native valve. It would also support a psychological benefit of not having to replace the native valve.

The purpose of this First-in-Human (FIH) study is to test the Hemodynamx System in human subjects. The Hemodynamx System is manufactured by Translumina Therapeutics LLP. and is designed to increase aortic valve effective orifice area (EOA), thus reducing left ventricular (LV) pressure in patients with severe, degenerative aortic stenosis.
