An observational study in Aortic Valve Stenosis and Aortic Valve Insufficiency, sponsored by CryoLife, Inc.. Completed at 9 sites in United States. Open to participants aged 6 Years to 27 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2015-08-19.
Sponsored by CryoLife, Inc. · Observational
The purpose of this study is to assess the probable benefit of CryoValve SG Aortic Human Heart Valve used in pediatric patients as an aortic valve replacement.
The CryoValve SG aortic human heart valve is recovered from deceased human donors, treated with the SynerGraft® (SG) process,which is designed to reduce the donor cells present on the graft. The valve is then cryopreserved for storage until use. Removing cells from the heart valve has been shown to reduce a component of the immune response after implant compared to a standard allograft valve. However, it is not known how this affects the long-term durability of the valve.
985 studies on the registry are indexed under Aortic Valve Stenosis; 283 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 200 across 424 observational studies indexed under Aortic Valve Stenosis.

Procedure: Echocardiogram
A prospective follow-up Study Echocardiogram will be performed, as applicable, for those subjects who do not have echo data as of January 1, 2009.
Hemodynamic Performance
Peak Aortic Gradient (or Peak Velocity), Mean Aortic Gradient, Aortic Insufficiency, Effective Orifice Area
Time frame: From Implant until Study Enrollment (on average, 7 years)
Number of Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety
Safety parameters will follow the guidelines for reporting morbidity and mortality after cardiac valvular operations as established by The American Association for Thoracic Surgery and The Society of Thoracic Surgeons. Evaluation of the following adverse events: * Mortality (all cause and valve-related) * Reoperation/reintervention * Explant * Endocarditis (all and valvular) * Thrombosis * Thromboembolism * Non-structural dysfunction * Perivalvular leak (all and major) * Bleeding (all and major) * Hemolysis * Calcification * Conduit failure
Time frame: From Implant until Study Enrollment (on average, 7 years)
