FORWARD PRO Study Interventional Post-market Study With the Evolut™ PRO System
- Conditions
- Aortic Valve Stenosis
- Registration Number
- NCT03417011
- Lead Sponsor
- Medtronic Cardiovascular
- Brief Summary
Prospective, single-arm, multi-center, interventional post-market study. After signing informed consent, eligible subjects will be implanted with the CE marked Evolut™ PRO system.
The investigation purpose is to evaluate the acute and long term clinical performance and safety of Evolut™ PRO in a routine hospital setting in patients with symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis or a stenosed, insufficient, or combined surgical bioprosthetic valve failure necessitating valve replacement within the approved intended use in local geography.
- Detailed Description
Approximately 600 subjects implanted with the Evolut™ PRO at up to 40 sites in Europe. Other regions may be added depending on the regulatory status of the device.

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method All-cause mortality 30 days post procedure The all-cause mortality rate at 30 days post procedure meets a prespecified performance goal of 5.5%.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Individual components of the VARC-2 composite safety endpoint through 5 years from enrollment until end of study Event rates of the individual components of the VARC-2 composite safety endpoint through 5 years until end of study
Hemodynamic performance 24 hours to 7 days (prior to discharge), 1-year, 3-year and 5-year post Hemodynamic performance at 24 hours to 7 days (prior to discharge), 1-year, 3-year and 5-year post procedure, including the degree of prosthetic valve regurgitation (transvalvular, paravalvular and total) as measured by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and assessed by an independent core laboratory.
Device success rate 24 hours to 7 days post procedure (prior to discharge) Device success rate at 24 hours to 7 days post procedure (prior to discharge), defined according to the VARC-2 guidelines as:
* Absence of procedural mortality, AND
* Correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location, AND
* Intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve, defined as the absence of patient prosthesis mismatch and mean gradient \<20 mmHg (or peak velocity \<3 m/sec), AND
* No moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation.Change in NYHA functional status From baseline to 30-day, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year post procedure Change in NYHA functional status from baseline to 30-day, 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year post procedure
Total AR 24 hours to 7 days post procedure (prior to discharge) The percentage of subjects graded as none or trace total aortic regurgitation at discharge is greater than a prespecified performance goal of 67.1%.
Rate of new permanent pacemaker implant 30 days post procedure Rate of new permanent pacemaker implant at 30 days post procedure
VARC-2 composite safety endpoint through 5 years from enrollment until end of study Event rate of the VARC-2 composite safety endpoint through 5 years from enrollment until end of study, which includes the following components:
* All-cause mortality
* All stroke (disabling and non-disabling)
* Life-threatening bleeding
* Acute kidney injury: stage 2 or 3 (including renal replacement therapy)
* Coronary artery obstruction requiring intervention
* Major vascular complication
* Valve-related dysfunction requiring repeat procedure (BAV, TAVI, or SAVR)Change in Quality of Life score From baseline to 30-day, and 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year post procedure Change in Quality of Life score (EQ-5D questionnaire) from baseline to 30-day, and 1-year, 3-year, and 5-year post procedure. The EQ-5D descriptive system comprises five dimensions and each dimension has five levels of severity. The subject is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking (or placing a cross) in the box against the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. The EQ VAS records the subject's self-rated health on a 20 cm vertical, visual analogue scale. The subject marks an X on the scale to indicate how his/her health is TODAY and then writes the number they marked on the scale in the box below.
