About this trial

The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the J-Valve Transfemoral Transcatheter Heart Valve System in patients on left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support with significant native aortic valve regurgitation (AR).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Adult with durable left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support and clinically significant AR (grade 4 or higher as assessed by core lab using TTE and adjunct TEE, if necessary) leading to LVAD dysfunction

Symptomatic according to New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class II or higher

High risk for surgery as judged by a multi-disciplinary heart team

Suitable anatomy to accommodate the insertion, delivery, and deployment of the study devices (see anatomic exclusions below)

Disqualifiers

Prior aortic valve replacement or repair

Aortic valve stenosis > moderate as assessed by core lab

Severe mitral valve or tricuspid valve regurgitation as assessed by core lab

Severe mitral valve or tricuspid valve stenosis as assessed by core lab

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • J-Valve Transfemoral System

    Device

    Treatment includes using the J-Valve Transfemoral (TF) System, a transcatheter aortic valve replacement system that consists of the J-Valve TF Bioprosthesis and the J-Valve TF Delivery Device and Loading Accessories, during transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The Edwards 16Fr eSheath+ Introducer Set may be used for the introduction and removal of the J-Valve TF System.
