January 9, 2017 updated by: C. R. Bard
The primary objective of this study is to collect data to confirm the performance and safety of the True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion Catheter during dilatation of the aortic valve in the preparation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI).

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The BARD® True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion Catheter Study is a prospective, single-center, non-randomized, single-arm observational study intended to collect data to confirm the performance and safety of the BARD® True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion Catheter (True™ Flow catheter) when used for dilatation of the aortic valve in preparation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI). This study will be conducted in conformance with the Declaration of Helsinki, applicable national privacy laws, and European, national regulations and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) requirements (ISO 14155:2011 (E)).

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

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

14 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects will be males or non-pregnant females, at least 18 years of age.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The subject voluntarily provides written informed consent prior to the collection of study-specific data or performance of study-specific procedures using an Informed Consent Form (ICF) that is reviewed and approved by the Ethics Committee (EC) for the site.
  • The subject is a male or non-pregnant female ≥ 18 years old.
  • The subject is undergoing TAVI for treatment of aortic stenosis.
  • The subject has an annulus diameter that can be treated with the available size device, in accordance with the Instructions For Use (IFU).

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient is unable or unwilling to provide written informed consent.
  • The patient has a known allergy or sensitivity to contrast media that cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
  • The patient has had previous aortic valve replacement.
  • The patient has a known congenital aortic valve abnormality (e.g., bicuspid aortic valve).
  • The patient has echocardiographic evidence of intracardiac mass, or thrombus.
  • The patient has vascular conditions that make insertion and endovascular access to the aortic valve impossible.
  • The patient has another medical condition, which, in the opinion of the Investigator, may cause him/her to confound the data interpretation, or is associated with a life expectancy insufficient to allow for the completion of study procedures.
  • The subject is currently participating in an investigational drug, biologic, or another device study that has not completed the study treatment or that clinically interferes with the objectives of the study.

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Successful dilatation of the aortic valve using the True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion Catheter.
Time Frame: Duration of Dilatation of Balloon during Procedure (<120 minutes)
Defined as complete opening of the True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion Catheter by visual estimate and the ability of the inflated True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion balloon to stay stationary with clinically acceptable intraventricular pressure under rapid pacing, reduced pacing, or without pacing.
Duration of Dilatation of Balloon during Procedure (<120 minutes)
Freedom from device-related or procedure-related death, stroke, annulus rupture, coronary occlusion, ventricular perforation, during the pre-dilatation procedure.
Time Frame: Duration of Dilatation of Balloon during Procedure (<120 minutes)
Defined as the time the study device catheter is introduced until the time TAVI device system is introduced.
Duration of Dilatation of Balloon during Procedure (<120 minutes)

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
September 1, 2016

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
