About this trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and performance of the F2 device for cerebral embolic protection in participants with symptomatic aortic stenosis underdoing a Transcatheter Aortic Valve replacement procedure.
Participants will complete several neurocognitive assessments and an MRI procedure.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 22 years.
The patient meets the established criteria and indications for commercially available TAVR (Edwards/Medtronic) for transfemoral access.
Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) score ≥ 26 at screening.
The patient is willing and able to comply with protocol-specified follow-up evaluations.
Disqualifiers
Contraindications to MRI (e.g., subjects with MR unsafe implants including implantable temporary or permanent pacemaker or defibrillator, metal implants in field of view, metallic fragments, clips, or devices in the brain or eye before TAVR procedure, or claustrophobia).
Severe peripheral arterial, abdominal aortic, or thoracic aortic disease that precludes delivery sheath vascular access or filter deployment.
Patients in whom the aortic arch is heavily calcified, severely atheromatous, or severely tortuous.
Ascending aortic diameter > 38 mm or transverse aortic diameter > 27 mm.
Trial design

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events
Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events
Secondary outcomes
New lesions
total new lesion volume, average individual new lesion volume, number of new lesions, location of new lesions, territory of new lesions
Performance
technical success (% of patients with successful device deployment, position and retreival and procedure success (% of patients with technical device success and no device-related safety events)
Modified Rankin Scale
Measures neurological disability on scale of 0-6 (low score is better outcome)
National Institute of Health Stroke Scale
Measures stroke severity on scale of 0 - 42 (low score is better outcome)
