    • Adult (age > 18 years)
    • Diagnosis of heart failure with preserved systolic function according with ESC 2008 Guidelines (ejection fraction ≥ 50%)
    • NYHA F. Class III or IV symptoms with history of previous heart failure hospitalization in the last year
    • Able to sign informed consent and return for follow-up visits.
    • No contraindication for anticoagualation and antiplatelet treatment.
    • Cardiac medications unchanged for greater than 4 weeks (not including diuretics)
    • Pulmonary Wedge pressure > 15 mmHg documented by right heart catheterization at enrollment.
  • Echocardiographic criteria

    • Preserved regional wall motion (no wall motion abnormalities).
    • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%
    • LV end-diastolic volume index (LVEDVI) <97 ml/m2.
    • Left Atrial Volume Index: (LAVi >29 ml/m2).
    • E/E' ratio ( mean of septal and lateral ) ≥12 (applicable only to patients with sinus rhythm)
    • No intra-cardiac thrombus.
    • Minimal endocardial height from Apex to Mitral Annulus ≥ 70mm.

Exclusion criteria

  • Cardiovascular disease

    • Uncontrolled HTN defined as > 140/90 mmHg, or >160/90 mmHg for patients on 3-drug therapy
    • Current or anticipated need for ICD, currently implanted with a cardiac resynchronization device (CRT), left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
    • Within the past 3 months - Acute myocardial infarction (AMI), cerebral vascular accident (CVA), Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) , Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI or transmyocardial laser revascularization (TMR or PMR)
    • Valvular disease (unless add - on to aortic valve replacement due to aortic stenosis)
    • Hypertrophic cardiomiopathy
    • Pericardial disease
    • Cor pulmonale or other cause of isolated right heart failure.
    • Non reversible pulmonary hypertension.
    • Right ventricle failure or right ventricular myocardial infarction.
    • Infiltrative heart disease
  • Non-cardiovascular disease

    • Non-cardiovascular condition limiting ability to assess the 6-minute hall walk test
    • Prior surgery, radiation, or thoracic surgery limiting the ability to place the device
    • Body mass index of greater than 40
    • Uncontrolled hyperglycemic status as addressed by HbA1c >8.5%
    • Asthma COPD (e.g. FEV1 <1.5 liter), or severe restrictive lung disease
    • Severe chronic renal failure indicated by MDRD GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2
    • Liver impairment addressed by bilirubin > 2 mg/dl and or pseudo- colinesterasis plasma concentration < 1500 IU and/or abnormal coagulative profile
    • Severe anemia addressed by Hb concentration <10 gr/l.
    • Solid organ or hematologic transplant.
    • Previous Trans Apical procedures/implantation
  • Miscellaneous conditions

    • Unwilling to fulfill the protocol medication compliance, testing, and follow-up requirements
    • Co-morbid condition that in the physician's opinion would prohibit the subject's ability to meet the protocol requirements
    • Pregnancy at the time of enrollment. (Women of child bearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test within two weeks prior to enrollment, or be using hormonal contraceptives or intrauterine devices)
    • Enrolled in another investigational study
    • A history of alcohol abuse, drug addiction, or other psychosocial condition that would preclude successful participation, or clear judgment and informed consent in the opinion of the Principal Investigator

Trial design

12 participants in 3 patient groups

CORolla™ TAA Stand Alone
Experimental group
Description:
Single arm study design including with patients with isolated HFpEF, in NYHA f. Cl. III-IV. These patients will receive the CORolla™ TAA device. For assessments of results, intra-patient comparisons of pre-procedure and follow-up data will be performed;
Treatment:
Device: CORolla™ TAA device
AVR and CORolla™ TAA Add On group
Experimental group
Description:
patients who require aortic valve replacement (AVR) due to aortic stenosis and have diastolic dysfunction will receive the CORolla™ TAA device.
Treatment:
Device: CORolla™ TAA device
AVR and CORolla ADD On - Control
No Intervention group
Description:
patients who require only the aortic valve replacement (AVR) due to aortic stenosis and have diastolic dysfunction.
