ADVANCE Direct Aortic Study

Completed
Conditions
Aortic Stenosis
Valvular Heart Disease
Registration Number
NCT01676727
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Bakken Research Center
Brief Summary

This study is intended to collect data regarding the clinical utility, safety and performance of the Medtronic CoreValve® System for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis for which treatment via direct aortic access (DA) is selected.

Detailed Description

This study is intended to collect data regarding the clinical utility, safety and performance of the Medtronic CoreValve® System for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) in patients with severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis for which treatment via direct aortic access (DA) is selected. As part of the study analysis, resource utilization together with the Quality of Life questionnaires data will provide an important input into cost effectiveness analysis.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
All-cause Mortality30 days post-implant

Kaplan-Meier estimate of 30-day all-cause mortality.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Kaplan-Meier Estimate of Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Events (MACCE)1, 6 and 12 months

The combined safety endpoint is defined as a composite of:

* All-cause mortality

* All stroke

* Life-threatening bleeding

* Acute kidney injury-Stage 3 (including renal replacement therapy)

* Coronary artery obstruction requiring intervention

* Major vascular complication

* Valve-related dysfunction requiring repeat procedure (BAV, TAVR, or SAVR)

* High degree AV block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation
