Evaluation of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Compared to SurveilLance for Patients with AsYmptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis: EARLY TAVR trial
Are you eligible to participate in this study?
You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:
-
Conditions: Aortic (valve) Stenosis
-
Age: Between 64 years - 110 years
-
Gender: Male or Female
-
Other Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who are 65 years of age or older
- Subjects must have Severe Aortic Stenosis
- Subjects are asymptomatic defined as having negative treadmill stress test or as per physician after thorough assessment of patient history if the patient is unable to perform a stress test.
- Subjects have LV ejection fraction ≥50%
- Subjects have Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) risk score ≤10
- Subjects have been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent
You may not be eligible for this study if the following are true:
-
- Subjects are symptomatic (e.g., NYHA Functional Class =2, history of syncopal episode, or CCS angina score >1, hospitalization for heart failure within the last 12 months).
- Subjects have any concomitant valvular, aortic, coronary artery disease requiring surgery making AVR a Class I indication.
- Subjects have Native aortic annulus size unsuitable for sizes 20, 23, 26, or 29 mm THV based on 3D imaging analysis
- Subjects have Iliofemoral vessel characteristics that would preclude safe placement of the introducer sheath.
- Subjects have Left ventricular outflow tract calcification that would increase the risk of annular rupture or significant paravalvular leak (PVL) post TAVR
- Subjects have evidence of an acute myocardial infarction =30 days before randomization
- Subjects have aortic valve is unicuspid, bicuspid with unfavorable features for TAVR (e.g., aneurysmal , Version 3.0

- Subjects with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with obstruction
- Subjects have Cardiac imaging evidence of intracardiac mass, thrombus or vegetation
- Subjects not able to tolerate or condition precluding treatment with anti-thrombotic therapy
- Subjects who had Stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within 90 days of randomization
- Subjects have renal insufficiency
