About
The purpose of this trial is to generate clinical evidence on valve safety and performance of self-expanding (SE) versus balloon-expandable (BE) transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in subjects with a small aortic annulus and symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis.
Additionally, a stress echocardiography sub-study will be conducted as part of the SMART Trial at select sites. The purpose of the sub-study is to evaluate performance of SE versus BE TAVR in subjects with a small aortic annulus and symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis after undergoing exercise stress echocardiographic testing.
Full description
This is a prospective, multi-center, international, randomized controlled, post-market trial.
The primary objectives of the trial are to demonstrate clinical non-inferiority and hemodynamic superiority of the Evolut PRO/PRO+/FX System when compared to subjects treated with the SAPIEN 3/3 Ultra System at 12 months post-procedure.
Subjects will be randomized on a 1:1 basis to receive TAVR with either a Medtronic SE Transcatheter Aortic Valve (TAV) or an Edwards BE Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV). Data will be collected at pre- and post-procedure, at discharge, at 30 days, and once a year until the 5-year follow-up is completed.
Product Names:
The exercise stress echocardiographic testing at select SMART Trial sites seeks to evaluate the performance of the prosthetic aortic valve during exercise. The stress echocardiogram assessment will be conducted as part of the 12-month visit for participating subjects.
