Aortic Valve Stenosis
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a pre-market clinical investigation aiming to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MicroPort™ CardioFlow VitaFlow™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical investigation for evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of the MicroPort™ CardioFlow VitaFlow™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve System in the Treatment of Severe Aortic Stenosis. The investigation has two phases. Phase I(FIM):The FIM stage is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm observational clinical investigation, aiming to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the MicroPort™ CardioFlow VitaFlow™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve System. A total of 10 patients will be enrolled and 30-day clinical outcomes will be collected. Phase II (Pivotal):The pivotal stage is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm clinical investigation with the performance goal, aiming to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of MicroPort™ CardioFlow VitaFlow™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. A total of 110 patients will be enrolled in 11 clinical centers across China. Clinical or telephone follow-up is scheduled at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, and 2 to 5 years annually post-procedure.
Interventions
VitaFlow™ Transcatheter Aortic Valve System contains a valve stent-VitaFlow™ Aortic Valve, a delivery system-VitaFlow™ Delivery System,loading tools, a balloon dilatation catheter, and an introducer set
