Enable® Aortic Sutureless Bioprosthesis Evaluation: A Post-market Release Non-interventional Study

The EASE Enable study is intended to collect additional data on the clinical outcomes of the Medtronic Enable® Aortic Bioprosthesis in "real world" patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The EASE Enable study is intended to characterize the clinical performance of the Medtronic Enable® aortic bioprosthesis in a post-market real-world setting.

This is a Non-randomized, prospective, non-interventional multi-center post-market release (PMR) study. Up to 800 subjects will be enrolled at up to 40 centers in Europe. After aortic valve replacement with the Enable® aortic bioprosthesis, each patient will have routine follow-up visits at the following intervals: at 30 days post-implant (at 30 days post-implant or prior to hospital discharge, whatever comes first), within 6 months following implantation, 1 year and annually thereafter up to 5 years post-implant.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change from Baseline in Clinical performance during implant procedure, at 30 days post-implant (or prior to hospital discharge, whatever comes first), within 6 months post-operation, 1 year and annually thereafter up to 5 years post-procedure.
Time Frame: During implant procedure, at 30 days post-implant (or prior to hospital discharge, whatever comes first), within 6 months post-operation, 1 year and annually thereafter up to 5 years post-procedure.
The early and late (up to five years) clinical performance of the Enable® aortic bioprosthesis will be characterized. Measures of clinical performance will include hemodynamic performance by echocardiography, New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification and safety (SAEs, ADEs, SADEs).
