Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Interventions
Device: Medtronic CoreValve® System
Registration Number
NCT01015612

Brief Summary

To evaluate the performance, efficacy and safety of the percutaneous implantation of the CoreValve® prosthetic aortic valve in patients with severe symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis that have an elevated surgical risk

Detailed Description

Prospective, non-randomized, single-arm multi-center trial conducted under a common protocol at 10 centers in Australia and New Zealand.

Exclusion Criteria
  1. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, nitinol, porcine products, or contrast media which cannot be adequately pre-medicated
  2. Any sepsis, including active endocarditis.
  3. Recent myocardial infarction (<30 days)
  4. Any left ventricular or atrial thrombus as determined pre procedure by echocardiography
  5. Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation
  6. Mitral or tricuspid valvular insufficiency (> grade II)
  7. Previous aortic valve replacement (mechanical valve or stented bioprosthetic valve)
  8. Evolutive or recent CVA (cerebrovascular accident), (<3 months)
  9. Femoral, iliac or aortic vascular condition (e.g. stenosis, tortuosity), that make impossible insertion and endovascular access to the aortic valve
  10. Symptomatic carotid or vertebral arteries narrowing (> 70%) disease
  11. Abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysm
  12. Bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, or patient will refuse blood transfusion

  14. Creatinine clearance < 20 ml/min
  15. Active gastritis or known peptic ulcer disease
  16. Pregnancy

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE) Rate30 days

Defined as a composite of all cause death, myocardial infarction(MI) (Q-wave \& non-Q-wave), stroke, and re-intervention (defined as any emergent cardiac surgery or percutaneous re-intervention catheter procedure that repairs, otherwise alters or adjusts or replaces a previously implanted valve)

Cardiac-related Death30 days

Defined as all death resulting from a cardiac cause or complications of a cardiac procedure and / or death of an unknown cause; this category includes valve-related deaths and non-valve-related cardiac deaths (e.g. congestive heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, documented fatal arrhythmias).

Percentage of Participants With Overall Device Success24-48 hours after the procedure or before the discharge

* Vascular access, delivery and deployment of the device, and retrieval of the delivery system

* Correct position of the device in the proper anatomical location (placement in the annulus with no impedance on device function)

* Intended performance of the prosthetic valve (aortic valve area \> 1.2 cm2 (by echocardiography using the continuity equation) and mean aortic valve gradient \< 20 mmHg, without moderate or severe prosthetic valve aortic regurgitation)

* Only one valve implanted

* No occurrence of in-hospital MACCE

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Myocardial Infarction30 days

Included Q-wave and non-Q-wave.

All-Cause Mortality30 days

is defined per Valve Academic Research Consortium-1 consensus document (VARC-1), including Cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular mortality.

Stroke30 days

Is a neurological deficit lasting more than 24 hours, or lasting 24 hours or less with a brain imaging study showing infarction.

Re-intervention30 days

Any emergent surgical or percutaneous interventional catheter procedure that repairs, otherwise alters or adjusts, or replaces a previously implanted valve.
