About this trial
The issue of valve durability has become one of the most important aspects in the TAVR field in recent years since transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been progressively applied to younger patients with a low co-morbidity burden. The SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve represents the last generation of the SAPIEN valve system and includes several important iterations (newer leaflet calcium-blocking technology targeting calcium-attracting free aldehydes, dry tissue storage, newer skirt textile design) that should translate into a favorable impact on valve durability at mid- to long- term follow-up
