AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion criteria
. Subject who is judged by a Heart Team, including a cardiac surgeon, to be appropriate for transcatheter heart valve intervention therapy, and is deemed to be at intermediate or low risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement (i.e., heart team estimates risk of surgical mortality \< 7% at 30 days, considering the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk score, overall clinical status, and other clinical co-morbidities unmeasured by the risk calculator). \*
. New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification of II, III, or IV \*
. Degenerative aortic valve stenosis with echo-derived criteria, defined as:
. Aortic annulus diameter of 19-30 mm and ascending aorta diameter of 26-44 mm for the specified valve size listed in the IFU, as measured by CT (systolic phase) conducted within 12 months prior to informed consent.
Exclusion criteria
. Life expectancy is less than 2 years in the opinion of the Investigator.
. Evidence of an acute myocardial infarction \[defined as ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) or non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) with acute ischemia symptoms and troponin elevation\] within 30 days prior to index procedure.
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Primary Effectiveness Endpoint: Percentage of Participants With Moderate or Greater Paravalvular Leak (PVL)
Timeframe: at 30 Days
2
Primary Safety Endpoint: The Rates of All-cause Mortality or Fatal Stroke/Stroke With Disability
. Any percutaneous coronary or peripheral interventional procedure performed within 30 days prior (except pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) implant) to index procedure or planned within 30 days following the index procedure.
. Blood dyscrasias as defined: leukopenia (WBC \< 3000 mm3), acute anemia (Hb \< 9 g/dL), thrombocytopenia (platelet count \< 50,000 cells/mm³); history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy
. Active peptic ulcer or upper GI bleeding within 3 months prior to index procedure that would preclude anticoagulation
. Recent (within 6 months prior to index procedure date) cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or a transient ischemic attack (TIA)
. Renal insufficiency (creatinine \> 3.0 mg/dL or eGFR \< 30 ml/min/1.73m2) and/ or end stage renal disease requiring chronic dialysis
