Study summary

The objective of this study is to evaluate feasibility, safety and effectiveness of the first generation transfemoral JenaValve Pericardial TAVR System (formerly named JenaValve TAVI Plus System- Transfemoral) in an elderly patient population with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement.

Read the detailed description

The study is designed as a prospective, multi-center trial conducted at 2 centers in Germany enrolling up to 12 subjects. Each patient will be followed for 2 years. The last patient's follow-up will end in February 2016. It is planned that the study will end in June 2016. Study endpoints are defined in accordance with the "Standardized endpoint definitions for transcatheter aortic valve implantation clinical trials: a consensus report from the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC-2)". These endpoint definitions combine the expertise of surgeons, interventionalists, medical cardiologists, clinical trial and other specialists and allow for comparison of different trials concerning effectiveness and safety in TAVI.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

    In this study, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) will be performed using the JenaValve Pericardial TAVR System, which is intended for use in subjects with severe aortic stenosis. The JenaValve replacement valve is placed inside the aortic valve by using a delivery system.

    Device: JenaValve Pericardial TAVR System

Interventions

  • DeviceJenaValve Pericardial TAVR System

    The JenaValve Pericardial TAVI system is intended for use in subjects with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. All-Cause Mortality

    30-day mortality of procedure is defined as all deaths within 30 days after implantation of the JenaValve Plus Prosthesis irrespective of the underlying cause of death.

    Time frame: 30 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence rate and standard deviation of VARC-2 Individual Safety Endpoints

    * Myocardial Infarction * Stroke * Major Bleeding * Acute Kidney Injury * Vascular Complications * Conduction Disturbances and Arrhythmias * TAVR-related Complications

    Time frame: Index Procedure and Immediate Post-operative

Other outcomes

  1. Device Success

    Absence of procedural mortality AND Correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location AND Intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve

    Time frame: Index Procedure and Immediate Post-operative

  2. Clinical Outcomes through 2-year follow-up - Hemodynamic Performance

    Improvement in mean gradient and effective orifice area compared to baseline and over time as assessed by Echocardiogram

    Time frame: Prior to discharge, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months

  3. Clinical Outcomes through 2-year follow-up - NYHA Functional Classification

    Number of patients with improvement over time as compared to baseline

    Time frame: Prior to discharge, at 3, 6, 12 and 24 months
