Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Primary Safety Endpoint The primary safety endpoint is incidence of all-cause mortality at 30 days. Primary Device Performance Endpoint The primary device performance endpoint is a mean aortic gradient, as evaluated by echocardiography and evaluated by the site at 7 days or discharge per standard postimplantation follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary Endpoints Secondary endpoints are defined as below: 1. Rate of clinical endpoints (VARC 2) at 30 days and at 12 months: • Mortality • Stroke • Myocardial infarction • Bleeding complication • Acute kidney injury • Vascular complication • Conduction disturbances and arrhythmia • Other TAVI-related complications 2. Procedural success defined as ACURATE TF™ in intended location with: • Insufficiency < Grade 3 • Mean aortic gradient < 20 mmHg • EOA = 1.0 cm2 • No further re-intervention performed on the ACURATE TF™ implant 3. Device success at 7 days or discharge and at 12 months follow-up defined as: • ACURATE TF™ implanted in intended location • No impingement of the mitral valve • Normal coronary blood flow • Insufficiency < Grade 3 • Mean aortic gradient < 20mmHg• EOA = 1.0 cm2 • No further re-intervention performed on the ACURATE TF™ implant 4. Functional improvement from baseline as per NYHA Functional Classification at 30 days and at 12 months follow-up | — |
