January 3, 2015 updated by: Venus MedTech (HangZhou) Inc.

Clinical Evaluation of the Safety and Performance of Percutaneous Implantation of the Venus MedTech Aortic Valve Prosthesis for Patients Who Cannot Undergo Surgical Valve Replacement

  1. objectives

    • Evaluate the performance of Venus MedTech aortic valve prosthesis intervention by femoral artery
    • Evaluate safety and clinical benefit of percutaneous implantation of the Venue MedTech aortic valve prosthesis.
    • Continuous observe 12 months of safety and efficacy.
  2. Approximately 80 patients presenting with native aortic valve stenosis necessitating valve replacement which are considered unsuitable for Surgical Valve Replacement, with a high surgical risk, as attested to by both the surgeon and the cardiologist are recruited in the study.
  3. Safety and performance will be evaluated at discharge and at 30 days post procedure. Valve safety, performance and placement will be followed up at 6 and 12 months post-procedure.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Time Frame: 12 months post-procedure
12 months post-procedure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
