CryoValve® SG Aortic Human Heart Valve Combination Study

Completed
Conditions
Aortic Valve Insufficiency
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Interventions
Procedure: Echocardiogram
Registration Number
NCT01236469
Lead Sponsor
CryoLife, Inc.
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the probable benefit of CryoValve SG Aortic Human Heart Valve used in pediatric patients as an aortic valve replacement.

Detailed Description

The CryoValve SG aortic human heart valve is recovered from deceased human donors, treated with the SynerGraft® (SG) process,which is designed to reduce the donor cells present on the graft. The valve is then cryopreserved for storage until use. Removing cells from the heart valve has been shown to reduce a component of the immune response after implant compared to a standard allograft valve. However, it is not known how this affects the long-term durability of the valve.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Hemodynamic PerformanceFrom Implant until Study Enrollment (on average, 7 years)

Peak Aortic Gradient (or Peak Velocity), Mean Aortic Gradient, Aortic Insufficiency, Effective Orifice Area

Number of Adverse Events as a Measure of SafetyFrom Implant until Study Enrollment (on average, 7 years)

Safety parameters will follow the guidelines for reporting morbidity and mortality after cardiac valvular operations as established by The American Association for Thoracic Surgery and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons.

Evaluation of the following adverse events:

* Mortality (all cause and valve-related)

* Reoperation/reintervention

* Explant

* Endocarditis (all and valvular)

* Thrombosis

* Thromboembolism

* Non-structural dysfunction

* Perivalvular leak (all and major)

* Bleeding (all and major)

* Hemolysis

* Calcification

* Conduit failure
