THE ALIGN-AR EFS TRIAL: JenaValve Pericardial TAVR Aortic Regurgitation Study

Not Applicable
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Aortic Regurgitation
Interventions
Device: JenaValve Pericardial TAVR System
Registration Number
NCT02732704
Lead Sponsor
JenaValve Technology, Inc.
Brief Summary

To collect information about treatment for severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR), which affects the aortic valve in the heart. Aortic regurgitation is a condition where aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber. Symptoms of aortic regurgitation may include fatigue and shortness of breath. The preferred treatment for severe aortic regurgitation is aortic valve replacement surgery.

Detailed Description

This study will examine the use of TAVR (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement), which is a minimally invasive procedure designed to replace the aortic valve inside the heart. In this study, TAVR will be performed using the JenaValve Pericardial TAVR System, which is intended to help treat severe aortic regurgitation.
