Valor II: The Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft System Clinical Study

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm
Interventions
Device: Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft System
Registration Number
NCT00413231
Lead Sponsor
Medtronic Cardiovascular
Brief Summary

This study was designed to study safety and effectiveness of the Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms.

Detailed Description

The aorta is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the organs in the rest of the body. An aneurysm is a weakening in the artery wall that will become a bulge in the aorta. If left untreated, this bulge may continue to grow larger and may rupture (break open) with fatal consequences. In this research study we are investigating a device that can be placed in the aorta to exclude the weakened part of the artery wall and restore blood flow. Information will be collected on the performance of the device for 5 years.

Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft SystemValiant Thoracic Stent Graft System160 subjects were enrolled into the study, including 157 subjects treated with the study device and three subjects classified as intent-to-treat who did not receive the study device. There were no other arms for this study.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants That Did NOT Experience Aneurysm-Related Mortality (Post-market Primary Endpoint)0 through 1825 days post treatment

Evaluation of the ARM-free rate in subjects implanted with the Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft five years post-implantation by comparing it to a pre-defined performance goal (PG) based on an analysis of ARM-free rates from TEVAR data and on results from the VALOR (Talent Thoracic Endoluminal Stent Graft, IDE G980116) clinical study.

Percentage of Participants With Successful Aneurysm Treatment (Primary Effectiveness Endpoint)At 12-month post procedure

Percentage of subjects with absence of both: a) aneurysm growth of more than 5 mm at the 12-month visit relative to the 1-month visit; and b) secondary procedure due to type I or III endoleak performed or recommended at or before the 12-month visit. Success means a subject experienced neither a nor b.

Type I: endoleak in continuity with the proximal anchoring site(proximal endoleak) or the distal anchoring site(distal endoleak)of the device.

Type III: endoleak is present in the mid-graft region due to defect of fabric or between the segments of the modular graft (junctional endoleak).

Percentage of Participants Who Died (Primary Safety Endpoint: All-Cause Mortality) > >Within 12-months post treatment

The percentage of participants who died within 12-months of the initial procedure, whether or not the cause of death was related to the study device, procedure, or condition treated.

\>

\> Note: All-cause mortality endpoint is not directly related to successful aneurysm treatment, which pertains to the absence of aneurysm growth and secondary procedure due to Type I and III endoleaks.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Subjects That Experienced Successful Deployment and Delivery of the Stent Graft at ImplantAt implant

Percentage of subjects that experienced successful deployment and delivery of the stent graft at implant. Successful deployment and delivery of the stent graft is used to measure effectiveness.

Percentage of subjects that experienced perioperative mortality. Perioperative morality is defined as all-cause mortality within 30 days after index procedure.

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Aneurysm-related Mortality0 through 1825 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced aneurysm-related within five years post implant

Percentage of Participants That Experience Aneurysm RuptureWithin 12 months post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experience aneurysm rupture within 12 months post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experience Loss of Stent Graft PatencyWithin 12 months post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experience loss of stent graft patency within 12 months post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Type III Endoleaks0 through 1825 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced type III endoleaks within five years post implant

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Type IV Endoleaks0 through 1825 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced type IV endoleaks within five years post implant

Percentage of Participants That Experienced ParaplegiaWithin 30 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced paraplegia within 30 days post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experienced ParaparesisWithin 30 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced paraparesis within 30 days post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experienced One or More Major Adverse EventsWithin 12 months post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced one or more Major Adverse Events within 12 months post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Conversions to Open Surgical Repair0 through 1825 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced conversions to open surgical repair within five years post implant

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Secondary Procedures Due to Endoleak After DischargeWithin 30 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced secondary procedures due to endoleak after discharge within 30 days post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Endoleak(s)At 12 months

Percentage of subjects that experienced endoleak(s) of any type at 12 months

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Stent Graft MigrationWithin 12 months post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced stent graft migration within 12 months post treatment, as reported by the CEC. Of note, all migrations resulted from anatomical accommodation of the stent graft. All migrations were at the distal end of the stent graft, moving proximally. No endoleaks were associated to these migrations.

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Conversion to Open Surgical RepairWithin 12 months post treatment

Percentage of subjects that experienced conversion to open surgical repair within 12 months post treatment

Percentage of Participants That Experienced Secondary Endovascular Procedures Due to EndoleakBetween 30 days and 12 months

Percentage of subjects that experienced secondary endovascular procedures due to endoleak between 30 days and 12 months

Percentage of Participants That Died (All-cause Mortality)0 through 1825 days post treatment

Percentage of subjects that died (all-cause mortality) five years post implant, regardless whether or not the cause of death was related to procedure, device, or condition treated
