Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: 1. Patients must be >18 years old. 2. Written informed consent is obtained from all patients. 3. Severe aortic valve stenosis is defined as: jet velocity greater than 4.0m/s or Doppler Velocity index
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Patient is unwilling or unable to comply with study-required follow-up evaluations 2. There is evidence of a myocardial infarction within 30 days to index procedure 3. The presence of severe mitral regurgitation or stenosis 4. The presence of pre-existing prosthetic cardiac device, valve or prosthetic ring in any position 5. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 30% 6. Untreated significant coronary artery disease requiring revascularization 7. Echocardiographic evidence of intra-cardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation suggesting active endocarditis 8. The patient is hemodynamically unstable, requiring inotropic or vasopressive and / or mechanical support 9. The presence of pulmonary edema or intra venous diuretics to stabilize heart failure at index procedure 10. Renal insufficiency, defined as a serum creatinin greater than 250umol/l or end-stage renal disease requiring dialysis 11. Morbid obesity, defined as a BMI >=40 12. A life expectancy of less than one year.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary endpoint is defined as PVL regurgitation fraction as measured by cardiac MRI. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoint will comprise a composite of device success, early safety and clinical efficacy as defined by the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2)(1) and will comprise death, vascular complications, stroke/ TIA, life threatening bleeding requiring transfusion, and acute kidney injury requiring dialysis. Other secondary endpoint is the effect of TAVI on angiodysplasia. The effect is expressed in difference between hemoglobin level before TAVI and 6 months after TAVI. The difference between blood transfusion and/or iron infusion requirements before and 6 months after TAVI will also be determined. | — |
