Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Clinical \& Angiographic Inclusion Criteria
  • Between 21 and 90 years of age at the time of consent
  • Meets FDA approved indications for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure on a native aortic valve using a commercially available Abbott or Medtronic transcatheter heart valve
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent and written HIPAA authorization prior to initiation of study procedures
  • Willing and able to comply with the protocol-specified procedures and assessments
  • Subject anatomy is compatible with correct device deployment and positioning with:
  • Ability to achieve access with a 21 French equivalent femoral access sheath
  • Ascending aorta length ≥8 cm
  • Ascending aorta/aortic arch diameter is ≥25 or ≤40 mm
  • Ascending aorta or aortic arch exhibits ≤ Grade 1 atheromatous disease and limited wall calcification

Exclusion

  • Requires urgent or emergent TAVR procedure
  • Contraindicated to MRI
  • Previously implanted aortic or mitral valve bioprosthesis
  • Hepatic failure (Child-Pugh class C)
  • Hypercoagulable state that cannot be corrected by additional periprocedural heparin
  • Planned to undergo any other cardiac surgical or interventional procedure (e.g., concurrent coronary revascularization) during the TAVR procedure or within 30 days prior to the TAVR procedure. NOTE: Diagnostic cardiac catheterization is permitted up until baseline MRI is obtained. Once baseline MRI is obtained, no additional intra-aortic or intracardiac procedure may occur.
  • Acute myocardial infarction within 30 days of the planned index procedure
  • Renal failure, defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) \<30 mL/min
  • Documented history of stroke or TIA within the prior 6 months, or any prior stroke with a permanent major disability or deficit (NIHSS \>1 at baseline)
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≤30% within 3 months prior to procedure
  • History of intolerance, allergic reaction, or contraindication to any of the study medications, including heparin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or a sensitivity to contrast media or anesthesia that cannot be adequately pre-treated
  • Known allergy or sensitivity to nickel-titanium
  • Active endocarditis or ongoing systemic infection, defined as fever (\>38°C) and/or white blood cell (WBC) \>15,000 IU
  • Undergoing therapeutic thrombolysis
  • History of bleeding diathesis or a coagulopathy
  • Known or suspected to be pregnant, or is lactating; female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test within 48 hours prior to the index study procedure.
  • Currently participating in another drug or device clinical study
  • Any other clinical reason, as deemed by the investigators of the study, by which the patient would not be an appropriate candidate for the study
  • Vulnerable subject populations (e.g., incarcerated or cognitively challenged adults)
