Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to establish preliminary clinical safety, effectiveness, and useability data for the ES360 expandable/retractable introducer sheath in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures. It is anticipated that the device will reduce major vascular injury and major bleeding events associated with transfemoral TAVR procedures. The device is also hypothesised to reduce the number of sheath insertions required during the procedure when used with TAVR delivery systems.

Interventions

This is a pilot study on the safety and effectiveness of the 3PM ES360 introducer sheath. The 3PM ES360 is an expandable introducer sheath set, comprising of an expandable introducer sheath and compatible dilator. It is intended for use in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures. The procedure will be performed by experienced cardiologists on participants who are already scheduled to undergo a TAVR procedure. The procedure should take around one hour.

This is a pilot study on the safety and effectiveness of the 3PM ES360 introducer sheath. The 3PM ES360 is an expandable introducer sheath set, comprising of an expandable introducer sheath and compatible dilator. It is intended for use in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures. The procedure will be performed by experienced cardiologists on participants who are already scheduled to undergo a TAVR procedure. The procedure should take around one hour. This type of procedure requires a sheath so there would not be any added time for using this sheath, however the procedure may take an additional 10 minutes to collect study data. Participants will be followed up for 30 days post procedure at which point they will be exited from the study. The study will be monitored by an independent Contract Research Organisation (CRO) who will review all relevant medical notes. The sponsor and CRO will train the study team on the study and the device.
