JC Medical, Inc., an affiliate of Edwards Lifesciences LLC

Conditions:

Aortic Valve Disease

Aortic Valve Insufficiency

Eligibility:

Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to assess the preliminary safety and effectiveness of the J-Valve TF System in patients with symptomatic severe native aortic regurgitation who are judged by a mult...

Detailed Description

The EFS is a prospective, single arm, multi-center, interventional study that will enroll up to 25 subjects in up to 15 centers in the United States and/or Canada and report the primary endpoint of al...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Patient has symptomatic (NYHA FC ≥ IIs) severe (≥3+) native AR (per 2020 ACC/AHA Guideline for Management of Patients with Valvular Heart Disease) diagnosed by echocardiography. Patients will be assessed according to the current American Society of Echocardiography Guidelines for Non-invasive Evaluation of Native Valve Regurgitation. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) or cardiac MRI (CMR) will be used in case of indeterminant AR;
  • Patient is judged by a multi-disciplinary heart team to be at high risk for surgery, based on the ACC/AHA guidelines for management of patients with valvular heart disease: STS-PROM score ≥8%, or if \<8%, significant co-morbidities that are not captured by the STS-PROM score (e.g., ≥2 frailty indices, 1 to 2 major organ system compromise, the presence of certain procedure-specific factors that affect surgical mortality), based on the consensus of a multi-disciplinary heart team;
  • Patient has suitable anatomy for J-Valve implantation (see anatomic exclusions below);
  • Patient or the patient's legal representative has provided written informed consent;
  • Patient or patient's legal representative agrees to comply with all required post-procedure follow-up visits.

Exclusion

  • Patients that are at prohibitive surgical risk (predicted risk for mortality or major morbidity at 30 days \>50% with SAVR);
  • Mixed aortic valve disease, defined as coexistence of \> moderate aortic valve stenosis with severe AR;
  • Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, bivalirudin, ticlopidine, clopidogrel, Nitinol (Nickel, Titanium, Aluminum) or sensitivity to contrast media, which cannot be adequately premedicated;
  • Blood dyscrasias as defined: leukopenia (WBC \<1000 mm3), thrombocytopenia (platelet count \<50,000 cells/mm3), history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy;
  • Active infection, including infective endocarditis;
  • Liver failure (Child-C);
  • Reduced left ventricular function with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<25% as measured by resting echocardiogram;
  • Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation (e.g., resting heart rate \>120 bpm);
  • Pregnancy or intent to become pregnant prior to completion of all protocol follow-up requirements;
  • Renal insufficiency (eGFR \<25) and/or end stage renal disease requiring chronic dialysis;
  • Pulmonary Hypertension (systolic pressure ≥2/3 of systemic);
  • Severe Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) = requiring steroids or requiring continuous home O2
  • Severe mitral or severe tricuspid regurgitation or stenosis;
  • Symptomatic carotid or vertebral artery disease or successful treatment of carotid stenosis within six weeks of treatment;
  • Cardiogenic shock manifested by low cardiac output, vasopressor dependence, or mechanical hemodynamic support;
  • Recent (within 6 months of treatment) cerebrovascular accident (CVA) or transient ischemic attack (TIA);
  • Active gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding that would preclude anticoagulation;
  • Untreated multivessel coronary artery disease with a Syntax score \>22 and/or unprotected left main coronary artery;
  • Evidence of acute myocardial infarction within 1 month of intended procedure;
  • PCI within 30 days of intended procedure;
  • Estimated life expectancy of less than 24 months due to associated (excluding cardiac) co-morbid conditions;
  • Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) dependent;
  • Participating in another study that may influence the outcome of this study;
  • Need for emergency surgery for any reason;
  • Previous aortic bioprosthesis or mechanical implant.
  • Anatomic
