Completed
Conditions

Severe Aortic Stenosis
Interventions
Device: Portico™ Valve, Portico Delivery System(s) and Loading Systems(s)
Device: Portico™ Valve, FlexNav Delivery System(s) and Loading Systems(s)
Registration Number
NCT03752866
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

The purpose of this clinical investigation is to characterize the procedural safety and device performance of transfemoral implantation of the Portico™ Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve in patients with symptomatic degenerative aortic stenosis.

Detailed Description

The CONFIDENCE registry study will be conducting as a prospective, non-randomized, observational, single-arm, multi-center study.

Approximately 1000 subjects with severe symptomatic (NYHA class ≥ II) aortic stenosis (AS), will undergo Portico™ Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve implantation.

The subject data will be collected at baseline, index procedure, pre- discharge, 30 days and 12 months from the index procedure.

Target Recruitment
1001
Inclusion Criteria
  1. Subjects who are ≥18 years of age or legal age in host country and have been identified as a candidate for a Portico™ valve implant
  2. Subjects who have been informed of the nature of the study, agree to its provisions and have provided written informed consent as approved by the Ethics Committee (EC) of the respective clinical center
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Have sepsis, including active endocarditis
  2. Have any evidence of left ventricular or atrial thrombus
  3. Have vascular conditions (i.e. caliber, stenosis, tortuosity, or severe calcification) that make insertion and endovascular access to the aortic valve improbable
  4. Have a non-calcified aortic annulus
  5. Have congenital bicuspid or unicuspid leaflet configuration
  6. Are unable to tolerate antiplatelet/anticoagulant therapy
  7. Are pregnant at the time of signing informed consent
  8. Are currently participating in a drug or device study that may impact the registry (unless prior sponsor approval for co-enrollment is granted)

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Cardiovascular Mortality30 days from the index procedure

Death due to proximate cardiac cause, non-coronary vascular conditions, procedure-related deaths, valve-related deaths, sudden or unwitnessed death and unknown cause.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number Of Subjects With Valve EmbolizationAt 30 days
Number of Subjects With Myocardial InfarctionAt 30 days
Number of Subjects With StrokeAt 30 days
Number of Subjects With Bleeding EventsAt 30 days
Number of Subjects With Acute Kidney InjuryAt 30 days

The increase in creatinine must occur within 48 hours.

Stage 1: Increase in serum creatinine to 150% to 199% (1.5 to 1.99 X increase compared with baseline) or increase of greater than or equal to 0.3 mg/dL (26.4 mmol/L) or Urine output \<0.5 mL/kg per hour for \>6 but \<12 hours.

Stage 2: Increase in serum creatinine to 200% to 299% (2.0 to 2.99 X increase compared with baseline) or Urine output \<0.5 mL/kg per hour for \>12 but \<24 hours.

Stage 3: Increase in serum creatinine to greater than or equal to 300% (3 X increase compared with baseline) or serum creatinine of ≥ 4.0 mg/dL (354 mmol/L) with an acute increase of at least 0.5 mg/dL (44 mmol/L)or Urine output \<0.3 mL/kg per hour for ≥24 hours or anuria for ≥12 hours. Patients receiving renal replacement therapy are considered to meet Stage 3 criteria irrespective of other criteria.

Number of Subjects With Vascular ComplicationsAt 30 days
Number of Subjects With Annular RuptureAt 30 days
Number of Subjects With Coronary ObstructionAt 30 days
Number of Subjects Undergoing Conversion To Open SurgeryAt 30 days
Number Of Subjects Undergoing Transcatheter Valve-In-Valve DeploymentAt 30 days
Number Of Subjects Undergoing Naïve Permanent Pacemaker InsertionAt 30 days
Vessel DiameterAt 30 days
Introducer Sheath UsedAt 30 days

This is a yes or no question on the CRF. Sites report if the implanter used an introducer sheath (a special device used to facilitate introduction of the investigational device into the subjects vasculature).

Implant SuccessAt 30 days
Effective Orifice AreaAt 30 days

Effective orifice area is a measure of the working area of the implanted valve determined by echocardiograph.

Aortic Valve Mean GradientAt 30 days

Aortic valve mean gradient is a measure of the pressure gradient across the aortic valve measured by echocardiograph.

Number of Subjects With Paravalvular Leak (PVL)At 30 days
NYHA ClassificationAt 30 days

NYHA Functional Classification is a system used to assess patient heart failure severity based on their limitations of physical activity. The four classes are described below:

Class I: No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, or shortness of breath.

Class II: Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath or chest pain.

Class III: Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, shortness of breath or chest pain.

Class IV: Symptoms of heart failure at rest. Any physical activity causes further discomfort.

Subjects' NYHA Classification based on above criteria was assessed during follow up, and subjects were assigned to one of four classifications. Results are presented as percentage of all available subjects who were assigned each functional class (I-IV).

EQ5D-3L Visual Analog Scale ValueAt 30 days

The EQ-5D-3L consists of EuroQoL 5 questions and 3 answering levels. The rating of questions includes: Level 1 no problems; Level 2 some problems; Level 3 Significant problems; Worst case is 15 points; and best case is 5 points using index. The Visual analogue scale VAS 0-100 where 0 is the worst imaginable health state and 100 the best imaginable health state."

Kaplan-Meier Rate of All-cause MortalityAt 12 months

Kaplan-Meier (KM) percentage of subjects who died. KM is a statistical method that attempts to account for other factors that may have reduced the number of subjects evaluable at a given time point.
