Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Registration Number
NCT03910751
Lead Sponsor
Erasmus Medical Center
Brief Summary

An international multi-center prospective observational study to address safety and feasibility of an early discharge protocol in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are eligible for transfemoral TAVI with the Boston Scientific ACURATE Neo Aortic Bioprosthesis transcatheter heart valve.

Detailed Description

In this International multi-center prospective observational study, 250 patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) and eligibility for transfemoral TAVI with ACURATE Neo Bioprosthesis, will be pre-procedurally selected for participation in an early discharge protocol in which patients are discharged within 48 hours after uncomplicated TAVI.
