Evaluation of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Compared to SurveilLance for Patients with AsYmptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis: EARLY TAVR trial

Brief description of study

The purpose of this study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms. The Edwards SAPIEN 3 THV is a bio prosthetic heart valve. It is an artificial device made to replace your diseased aortic heart valve. Each valve consists of a stent (mesh tube made of metal) to hold the valve in position and valve leaflets (made of biological material derived from cows) to direct the flow of blood in your heart.
