Study summary

The present study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of TAVI using the Hydra transcatheter aortic valve (THV) series, in patients with severe aortic stenosis up to 1-year after the procedure. Additionally, the study will assess the role of geometry in the development of new conduction abnormalities based on the analysis of post-operative CT scan at 1-month in patients who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve replacement with a self-expanding Hydra THV series.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Primary safety endpoint

    Early safety as defined by VARC-3, as composite of: * Freedom from all-cause mortality; * Freedom from all stroke; * Freedom from VARC 3 type 3-4 bleeding; * Freedom from major vascular, access-related, or cardiac structural complication; * Freedom from acute kidney injury stage 3 or 4; * Freedom from moderate or severe aortic regurgitation; * Freedom from new permanent pacemaker due to procedure-related conduction abnormalities; * Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device.

    Time frame: 30 days

  2. Primary performance endpoint

    Device success as defined by VARC-3, as composite of: * Technical success; * Freedom from mortality; * Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device or to a major vascular or access related or cardiac structural complication; * Intended performance of the valve (mean gradient \<20mmHg, peak velocity \<3 m/s, Doppler velocity index ≥0.25, and less than moderate aortic regurgitation).
