Not Applicable

Completed

Conditions: Aortic Stenosis
Aortic Valve Disease

Interventions: Device: Stented aortic bioprostheses
Device: EDWARDS INTUITY

Registration Number: NCT02688153

Lead Sponsor: Edwards Lifesciences

Brief Summary: The study purpose is to compare the EDWARDS INTUITY valve system with commercially available stented aortic bioprostheses, in patients requiring aortic valve replacement surgery with coronary artery bypass.

Detailed Description: This is a randomized study comparing the cross-clamp time (XCT) and cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPBT) of the EDWARDS INTUITY valve system with any commercially available stented aortic bioprosthesis, in patients with logistic EuroSCORE 1 ≥ 6 undergoing elective surgical aortic valve replacement surgery with concomitant coronary bypass grafts.

Additionally, the aim is to gather sufficient data to quantify the effect size of short term patient benefit outcomes previously identified from literature and finally to explore additional healthcare resource utilization or health economic endpoints.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Average Amount of Time Subject Spent on Cardiopulmonary Bypass	At time of surgery, an average of 2 hours	Cardiopulmonary bypass time is the amount of time that the patient's blood circulates through an artificial heart and lung machine during cardiac surgery.
Average Subject Time Spent on Cardiopulmonary Cross Clamp	At time of surgery, an average of 1.5 hours	Cardiopulmonary cross clamp time is the amount of time that the patient's aorta (blood vessel) is clamped by a surgical instrument used in cardiac surgery. This allows the normal blood flow to be sent to an artificial heart and lung machine to keep it at a constant temperature and oxygen level.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Subjects Who Experienced Major Bleeding Over Time.	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced Major Bleeding shown over various time points.
Conversion of Edwards INTUITY Surgical Aortic Valve to Control During Surgery.	Prior to Surgery	Subjects randomized to the Edwards INTUITY group that were converted to the control group and received commercially available surgical aortic heart valves during surgery.
Subjects Who Received a Permanent Pacemaker Over Time.	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of Subjects who received a Permanent Pacemaker shown over various time points.
Subject's Average Mean Gradients (mmHg) Measurements Over Time.	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Mean gradient is the average flow of blood through the aortic valve measured in millimeters of mercury. Gradients are evaluated by echocardiography over time. Mean gradient values depend on the size and type of valve.
Subject's Effective Orifice Area Index (EOAI) Measurement Over Time.	30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year	Effective orifice area index represents the minimal cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve divided by the person's body surface area. Effective orifice area index is evaluated by echocardiography over time.
Subjects Who Required a Thoracic Resternotomy Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of Subjects who had a surgical opening of their chest after their initial aortic heart valve surgery shown over various time points.
Subjects With Endocarditis Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced Endocarditis shown over various time points. Endocarditis is an infection of the endocardium, which is the inner lining of your heart chambers and heart valves.
Subjects With a Thromboembolism Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced a Thromboembolism shown over various time points. A thromboembolism is an obstruction of a blood vessel by a blood clot that has become dislodged from another site in the circulation.
Subjects Who Died Intraoperatively	Surgery	Number of subjects who died during surgery.
Subject's Effective Orifice Area (EOA) Measurement Over Time.	30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year	Effective orifice area represents the cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve. Effective orifice area is evaluated by echocardiography over time.
Subjects With a Major Paravalvular Leak (OPC) Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced a Major Paravalvular Leak (OPC) shown over various time points. Paravalvular leak refers to blood flowing through a channel between the implanted artificial valve and the cardiac tissue as a result of inappropriate sealing. Paravalvular leak is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 = no leak, 1 = a trace leak, 2 = a mild leak, 3 = a moderate leak, and 4 = a severe leak. A major paravalvular leak (OPC)are any events of leak that required surgical intervention or were considered an serious adverse event.
Subjects With a Cerebral Vascular Accident or Permanent Stroke Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced a Cerebral Vascular Accident or Permanent Stroke shown over various time points.
Subjects With a Cardiac Tamponade Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced a Cardiac Tamponade shown over various time points. Cardiac tamponade is when fluid in the pericardium (the sac around the heart) builds up and results in compression (squeezing) of the heart.
Amount of Aortic Valvular Regurgitation Over Time.	30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year	Aortic valvular regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly allowing some of the blood that was pumped out of the heart to leak back into it. Aortic valvular regurgitation is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 represents no regurgitation and 4 represents severe regurgitation.
Subjects With Renal Failure Over Time	30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced Renal (kidney) Failure shown over various time points.

A Myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack, occurs when blood flow decreases or stops to a part of the heart, causing damage to the heart muscle.
Number of Participants With Change From Baseline in New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class at 2 Years.

Subject's Average Peak Gradients (mmHg) Measurements Over Time.	30 days, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 year	Peak gradient is the maximum value measured of flow of blood through the aortic valve as measured in millimeters of mercury. Gradients are evaluated by echocardiography over time.

The SF-12 questionnaire scale ranges from 100, which reflects the best health status to 0, which reflects the worse health status. Subject's Average Score at Baseline and at each follow-up interval until 2 year - SF-12.
Subjects Who Experienced Respiratory Failure Over Time	30 days, 3 Months , 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	Number of subjects who experienced a Respiratory Failure shown over various time points. Respiratory failure happens when not enough oxygen passes from your lungs to your blood.

Subject's Average Score on the EQ-5D- Quality of Life Questionnaire Over Time	Baseline, 30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	The EQ-5D is a standardized questionnaire that asks subjects to rate themselves (no problems, some problems, extreme problems) on mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The scale is indexed and ranges from a minimum of 0.275 and a maximum of 1.000. A lower number indicates the participants experiences more problems and a higher number indicates the participants experiences fewer problems.
Health Care Utilization	Day of surgical procedure through discharge from the hospital, an average of 2 weeks	The average amount of time the subjects spent in the intensive care unit, the intermediate care length of stay, and the average total length of hospital stay after their heart valve replacement procedure.
Subject's Average Score on the KCCQ - Quality of Life Questionnaire Over Time	Baseline, 30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, 2 Years.	The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. Scores range from 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. Subjects took this questionnaire at baseline, 30 days, 3 Months, 6 Months, 1 Year, and 2 Years.
