Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the long term safety and effectiveness of the Carpentier-Edwards PERIMOUNT Magna Ease Valves in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with or without concomitant procedures requiring cardiopulmonary bypass.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, interventional study to be conducted in the US and outside the US (OUS). This study will enroll a minimum of 225 patients implanted with the study valve in order to achieve 101 aortic valve replacement subjects each followed for a minimum of 8 years. The study will include male and female patients, 18 years or older, requiring replacement for a diseased, damaged or malfunctioning natural or prosthetic aortic valve. Patients will be followed and assessed after implant at discharge, 6 months, one year, and annually for a minimum of 8 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Subject's Percentage of Long Term Safety Performance31 days through 8 years post-implant

Long term safety performance will be evaluated by comparing the linearized yearly rates to the objective performance criteria (OPC) referenced in the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 1994 Draft Heart Valve Guidance.

Expressed as the Number of late events divided by the total number of late patient years times 100. Late patient years are calculated from 31 days post-implant to the date of the last contact (follow up or adverse event).

Number of Subject's in NYHA Functional Class I or II at 8 Year Post-Implant8 years post-implant

The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system relates symptoms to everyday activities and the patient's quality of life.

Class I. No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

Class II. Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

Subject's New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class at 8 Years Post-Implant Compared to Baseline8 Years post-implant

The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system relates symptoms to everyday activities and the patient's quality of life.

Class I. No limitation of physical activity. Ordinary physical activity does not cause undue fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

Class II. Slight limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitation, dyspnea (shortness of breath).

Class III. Marked limitation of physical activity. Comfortable at rest. Less than ordinary activity causes fatigue, palpitation, or dyspnea.

Class IV. Unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure at rest. If any physical activity is undertaken, discomfort increases.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percent of Early Adverse EventsEvents occurring within 30 days of procedure

Number of early adverse events occurring within 30 days of procedure divided by the number of enrolled subjects times 100.

Percentage of Late Adverse EventsEvents occurring >= 31 days and up through 8 years post-implant

Number of late events divided by the total number of late patient years times 100. Late patient years are calculated from 31 days post-implant to the date of the last contact (follow up or adverse event).

Percent of Subjects With Freedom From Serious Adverse Events (SAE) Post-implant > 30 Days1 Year, 2 Years, 3 Years, 4 Years, 5 Years, 6 Years, 7 Years, and 8 Years post-implant

Subject's freedom from Serious Adverse Events at \> 30 days post-implant. Time to events were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method.

Subject's Average Peak Systolic Gradient (mmHg) Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant8 years post-implant

Peak systolic gradient is the maximum value measured of flow of blood through the aortic valve as measured in millimeters of mercury. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Average Mean Systolic Gradient (mmHg) Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant.8 years post-implant

Mean systolic gradient is the average flow of blood through the aortic valve measured in millimeters of mercury. Mean gradient values depend on the size and type of valve. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Average Effective Orifice Area Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant.8 years post-implant

Effective orifice area represents the cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Average Effective Orifice Area Index (EOAI) Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant.8 years post-implant

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. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Average Performance Index Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant.8 years post-implant

Performance index is defined as the subject's effective orifice area (the cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve) divided by the subject's native orifice area. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Average Cardiac Output Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant.8 years post-implant

The amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Average Cardiac Index Measurements at 8 Years Post-implant.8 years post-implant

Cardiac index is an assessment that divides the cardiac output from left ventricle in one minute by the person's body surface area (BSA), thus relating heart performance to the size of the individual. The data summary will be stratified by valve size.

Subject's Amount of Aortic Valvular Regurgitation at 8 Years Post-Implant.8 years post-implant

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.

Subject's Average Hematocrit Percentage Over Time.6 months and annually for 8 years post-implant

Subject's Average Reticulocytes Percentage Over Time.6 months and annually for 8 years post-implant

Laboratory Analysis of reticulocytes on blood drawn from subjects. Reticulocytes are newly produced immature red blood cells; a reticulocyte blood test measures the amount of these cells in the blood.

Subject's Average Score on the EQ-5D- Quality of Life Questionnaire at Baseline and 6 Months Post-Implant.Baseline and 6 Months Post-Implant

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 ranges from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100 where zero is the 'worst state imaginable' and 100 is the 'best state imaginable'.
