Outcome results

Primary

Major Adverse Event Rate : Count and Percentage of Patients Who Experienced at Least One MAE

Composite of major adverse events (MAE) defined as cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, new need for renal replacement therapy, severe bleeding, re-intervention for study device related complications or on the previously implanted study device, and major access site and vascular complications requiring intervention at 30 days.

Time frame: 30 days

Population: The intention-to-treat (ITT) population includes all patients who signed informed consent, met eligibility criteria, and in whom the study procedure has been attempted (i.e. at least skin incision to introduce the FORMA System).

Clinical Success: Count and Percentage of Patients Who Experienced Clinical Success

Procedural success without MAEs at 30 days. (MAEs: cardiovascular mortality, myocardial infarction, new need for renal replacement therapy, severe bleeding, re-intervention and major access site and vascular complications)

Time frame: 30 days

Population: The as-treated population is a subset of ITT population and includes all patients in whom the study device is implanted and remains in position at the time of the patient's exit from the procedure room.
