Conditions
AORTIC VALVE DISEASES

Aortic Valve Regurgitation
Registration Number
NCT07123766
Lead Sponsor
Suzhou Hearthill Medical Technology Co.,LTD
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to conduct a clinical investigation of the HeartHill PoliaValve Aortic Valve to collect evidence on the device's safety and performance.

Detailed Description

The PoliaValve is indicated as a replacement for diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native aortic heart valve via open heart surgery. The study is a single-arm, open label, non-randomized multi- center clinical trial. Up to 10 sites in the country of India will enroll up to 50 patients. These patients will follow the study schedule for 1 year after implantation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Rate of Clinical Outcomes Events12 months following patient enrollment completion

The rate of adverse events will be compared to clinical outcomes for surgically implanted heart valves reported in the literature: a) thromboembolism, b) valve thrombosis, c) major paravalvular leak, d) major hemorrhage, e) endocarditis, f) all-caused death, g) valve related death, h) valve related reoperation, i) valve explant, j) hemorrhage, k) all-cause reoperation

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Effective Orifice Area (EOA)12 months following patient enrollment completion

Using doppler echocardiography to Measure Effective Orifice Area (EOA)

Mean Pressure Gradient(MPG)12 months following patient enrollment completion

The mean pressure gradient (MPG) is a measure of the average pressure difference across a valve or a specific area in a fluid system, often measured by transthoracic echocardiogram.

New York Heart Association(NYHA) Improvement Assessment12 months following patient enrollment completion

Clinically significant improvement (one grade) in the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification status at 365 days compared to baseline. a. Class I - No symptoms and no limitations in ordinary physical activity, e.g. shortness of breath when walking, climbing stairs etc. b. Class II - Mild symptoms (mild shortness of breath and/or angina) and slight limitation during ordinary activity. c. Class III - Marked limitation in activity due to symptoms, even during less-than-ordinary activity, e.g. walking short distances (20-100m). Comfortable only at rest. d. Class IV - Severe limitations. Experiences symptoms even while at rest. Mostly bedbound patients.

Rate of Stroke12 months following patient enrollment completion

Assessment of patient experiencing a stroke verified by imaging and or physical exam

Rate of Transient Ischemic Attack(TIA)12 months following patient enrollment completion

Assessment of patient having a transient ischemic attack(TIA) verified by imaging and or physical exam

Intensive Care Unit(ICU) Duration of Stay30 days post procedure

Length of stay in the ICU post valve implantation defined as arrival time/date in hours and minutes to transfer to floor time/date in hours and minutes.

Ventilation Time30 days post procedure

Ventilation time in hours defined as arrival time/date in recovery in hours and minutes to date and time extubated in hours and minutes

Rate of New Onset Atrial Fibrillation12 months post procedure
Length of Stay in Hospital30 days post procedure
Readmission30 days post procedure

Patient readmission to the hospital post discharge measured by date/time

Hemolysis screen12 months post procedure

Hemolysis screen is measured by blood tests including hemoglobin and liver enzyme assessments
