About this trial
To establish the safety and effectiveness of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with isolated severe, calcific aortic stenosis who are at low surgical risk.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Jet velocity ≥4.0 m/s or mean gradient ≥ 40 mmHg OR
AVA ≤1.0 cm2 or AVA index ≤ 0.6 cm2/m2 Note: Qualifying TTE must be within 90 days prior to randomization
The Heart Team agrees that the surgical mortality risk is less than 4% according to STS-PROM. The Heart Team's assessment should include evaluation of overall clinical status and comorbidities that may not be adequately captured by risk calculators such as STS-PROM, in addition to the risk score itself.
The patient has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent as approved by certified review board.
Disqualifiers
History of cardiovascular surgery or thoracotomy
Pre-existing other valvular disease, coronary artery disease or aortic disease required intervention Note: interventions for arrhythmia or root enlargement are not considered exclusionary.
Heart Team assessment that chest abnormalities or significant frailty would prevent safe SAVR.
Native aortic annulus size unsuitable for sizes the currently approved and marketed SAVR or TAVR based on preoperative 3D-CT image analysis.
