Study summary

The study purpose is to compare the EDWARDS INTUITY valve system in a minimal invasive surgical approach (MIS) with any commercially available aortic bioprosthesis in standard full sternotomy surgical approach.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized study to compare the cross-clamp time (XCT) and cardiopulmonary bypass time (CPBT) of the EDWARDS INTUITY valve system in a minimally invasive surgical approach (MIS) with any commercially available aortic bioprosthesis in standard full sternotomy surgical approach, in patients with logistic EuroScore \< 20 undergoing elective isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) surgery.

Additionally, the aim is to gather sufficient data to quantify the effect size of short term patient benefit outcomes previously identified from literature and to explore additional healthcare resource utilization endpoints.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Median Subject Time Spent on Cardiopulmonary Cross Clamp

    Cardiopulmonary cross clamp time is the amount of time that the patient's aorta (blood vessel) is clamped by a surgical instrument used in cardiac surgery.

    Time frame: At time of surgery; an average of 1 hour

  2. Median Amount of Time Subject Spent on Cardiopulmonary Bypass

    Cardiopulmonary bypass time is the amount of time that the patient's blood circulates through an artificial heart and lung machine during cardiac surgery.

    Aortic valvular regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly allowing some of the blood that was pumped out of the heart to leak back into it. Aortic valvular regurgitation is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 represents no regurgitation and 4 represents severe regurgitation.

SecondarySubject's Average Score on the EQ-5D - Quality of Life Questionnaire Over Time

The EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) is a standardized questionnaire that asks subjects to rate themselves (no problems, some problems, extreme problems) on mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The scale is indexed and ranges from a minimum of 0.275 and a maximum of 1.000. A lower number indicates the participants experiences more problems and a higher number indicates the participants experiences fewer problems.

SecondarySubject's Average Score on the KCCQ - Quality of Life Questionnaire Over Time

The Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ) is a 23-item, self-administered instrument that quantifies physical function, symptoms (frequency, severity and recent change), social function, self-efficacy and knowledge, and quality of life. Scores range from 0-100, in which higher scores reflect better health status. Subjects took this questionnaire at Baseline, 30 days, 3 Months,and 1 Year.

SecondaryAmount of Aortic Valvular Regurgitation Over Time.

Aortic valvular regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly allowing some of the blood that was pumped out of the heart to leak back into it. Aortic valvular regurgitation is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from 0 to 4, where 0 represents no regurgitation and 4 represents severe regurgitation. Higher numbers on the scale show a worsening outcome.

Not marked actual or estimatedDates not marked actual or estimated

The record gives a start of May 2012, a primary completion of Mar 2015 and a completion of Aug 2015. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Jan 2019, 3 years 10 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 28, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
