About this trial

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of the GEMINUS system in patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis.

This is a prospective, open label, multicentre, single arm, first in human clinical study.

Clinical follow up for all patients will be performed at 30 days, 6 months, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 years post-implantation

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age ≥ 18 years

Patient understands the implications of participating in the study and provides informed consent

Patient is willing to comply with specified follow-up evaluation

Severe aortic stenosis as per ACC/AHA 2020 guidelines (e.g. AVA ≤ 1.0 cm2 (or AVA index ≤ 0.6cm2/m2)* AND PV ≥ 4 m/sec or mean gradient ≥ 40 mmHg)** as determined by TTE/CT-TAVI

Disqualifiers

Patient not suitable for surgical bailout

Congenital uni/bi/quadricuspid valve, or noncalcified aortic valve.

Mixed aortic valve disease (aortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation with predominant aortic regurgitation ≥3+).

Active or recent (within 6 months) endocarditis.
