Who this trial is looking for
This trial is looking for people with a failing aortic valve who may not be able to have regular surgery. Participants will be treated with a special heart valve to see how safe and effective it is.
Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
You may be able to join if
I have a failing bioprosthetic aortic valve.
I have moderate or severe heart symptoms.
My heart team thinks I am at high risk for surgery.
I agree to participate and have given written consent.
You may not be able to join if
I have a valve that is unstable or damaged.
I have severe issues with nearby heart valves.
I have had a heart attack in the past 30 days.
I have an infection or serious heart problems.
I am pregnant or nursing.
I have kidney problems.
My body mass index is over 50.
I refuse blood products.

2. Failing valve has moderate or severe paravalvular regurgitation
3. Failing valve is unstable, rocking, or not structurally intact
4. Known severe patient-prosthesis mismatch or bioprosthetic valve with residual mean gradient \> 20 mmHg at the end of the index procedure for implantation of the original valve
5. Increased risk of THV embolization
6. Surgical or transcatheter valve in the mitral position
7. Severe mitral regurgitation (\> 3+) or ≥ moderate mitral stenosis

14. Subjects with planned concomitant ablation for atrial fibrillation
15. Clinically significant coronary artery disease requiring revascularization
16. Any surgical or transcatheter procedure within 30 days prior to the study procedure. Implantation of a permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator is not considered an exclusion.
17. Any planned surgical or transcatheter intervention to be performed within 30 days following the study procedure
18. Endocarditis within 180 days prior to the study procedure
19. Stroke, transient ischemic attack or neurological signs and symptoms attributed to carotid or vertebrobasilar disease within 90 days prior to the study procedure

21. Renal insufficiency and/or renal replacement therapy
22. Leukopenia, anemia, thrombocytopenia
23. Inability to tolerate or condition precluding treatment with antithrombotic therapy
24. Hypercoagulable state or other condition that increases risk of thrombosis
25. Absolute contraindications or allergy to iodinated contrast that cannot be adequately treated with premedication
26. Subject refuses blood products
27. Body mass index \> 50 kg/m2
28. Estimated life expectancy \< 24 months
29. Female who is pregnant or lactating
30. Active SARS-CoV-2 infection or previously diagnosed with COVID-19 with sequelae that could confound endpoint assessments
31. Participating in another investigational drug or device study that has not reached its primary endpoint
32. Subject considered to be part of a vulnerable population
