Study Description

Brief Summary

The purpose of this active, observational, open-label, non-randomized, post-market surveillance study is to confirm that EDWARDS INTUITY Elite reduces cross clamp time (XCT) in MIS setting when compared to published data with a conventional valve within the MIS setting. The published dataset will used as a control group. Then to describe short term (30 days) and long term (6 months) clinical safety, to assess and compare hemodynamic data with EDWARDS INTUITY Elite to a conventional valve at discharge and at 6 months post AVR, to assess Quality of Life at baseline, and at 6 months post AVR to assess NYHA functional class at baseline, discharge, 1 month and at 6 months post AVR to assess Fitness for hospital discharge.

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase

    Detailed Description

    Aortic valve replacement with mechanical or biological heart valves is the treatment of choice for aortic valve stenosis. Over the past several years, life expectancy has increased in industrial nations, but this has been accompanied by a rising rate of elderly patients with multiple illnesses.

    Aortic stenosis remains the most common cause of adult valvular heart disease, the prevalence increasing with age. Average survival of patients treated conservatively has historically been reported as 2-5 years from the onset of symptoms. More recent studies have confirmed the dismal prognosis of severe aortic stenosis. Advanced age, reduced left-ventricular ejection fraction, congestive heart failure and renal insufficiency appear to be independent predictors of reduced survival. Asymptomatic patients with very severe aortic stenosis also share a poor prognosis with a high event rate and a risk of rapid functional deterioration. Early surgery offers a therapeutic option to improve clinical outcomes via decreasing cardiac mortality and improving symptoms.

    Bioprostheses offer several advantages over mechanical bioprostheses, the most important being freedom from anticoagulation with a low rate of thromboembolic accidents.

    In response to clinical need and in support of advances in minimally invasive surgical approaches to conventional AVR, Edwards Lifesciences developed the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite Valve System to achieve clinical benefits by reducing cardiopulmonary bypass and cross clamp times, while facilitating a less invasive approach to aortic valve replacement.

    The system includes the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite Valve System, Model 8300AB and the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite Delivery System, Model 8300DB; the valve is based on prior heart valve designs which have a long history of safety and effectiveness and have incorporated additional features designed to improve patient outcomes and safety.

    With only 3 guiding sutures and secure balloon expandable frame, the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite Valve system is well suited for smaller incisions and tight access, with an emphasis on procedural efficiency within existing operating suite of the surgeon.

    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Subject's Average Time Spent on Cardiopulmonary Cross Clamp [At time of surgery; an average of 1 hour]

      Cardiopulmonary cross clamp time is the amount of time that the patient's aorta (blood vessel) is clamped by a surgical instrument used in cardiac surgery. This allows the normal blood flow to be sent to an artificial heart and lung machine to keep it at a constant temperature and oxygen level.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Subject's Average Time Spent on Cardiopulmonary Bypass. [At time of surgery; an average of 1.5 hours]

      Cardiopulmonary bypass time is the amount of time that the patient's blood circulates through an artificial heart and lung machine during cardiac surgery.

    2. Device Technical Success Rate [At time of surgery]

      The successful delivery and deployment of the EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve and delivery system, and the subject leaving the operating room with valve in place.

    3. First Attempt Success Rate [At time of surgery]

      The successful delivery and deployment of the valve and delivery system during the first attempt, and subject leaving the operating room with EDWARDS INTUITY Elite valve in place.

    4. Procedural Success [Day of procedure and events occurring within 10 days of procedure]

      Procedural success is defined as device technical success followed by the absence of adverse events requiring device reoperation, requiring implantation of permanent pacemaker (with baseline sinus rhythm and no other conduction issues), or subject death, within discharge or 10 days post index procedure whichever comes first.

    5. Subject's Average Health Care Utilization [Day of surgical procedure through discharge from the hospital, an average of 3 days and 10 days respectively.]

      The average amount of time the subjects spent in the intensive care unit and the average total length of hospital stay after their heart valve replacement procedure.

    6. Subject's Average Mean Gradient Measurements Over Time. [Baseline, Discharge and 6 months]

      Mean gradient is the average flow of blood through the aortic valve measured in millimeters of mercury. Gradients are evaluated by echocardiography over time. Mean gradient values depend on the size and type of valve.

    7. Subject's Average Peak Gradients Measurements Over Time. [Baseline, Discharge and 6 months]

      Peak gradient is the maximum value measured of flow of blood through the aortic valve as measured in millimeters of mercury. Gradients are evaluated by echocardiography over time.

    8. Subject's Average Effective Orifice Area (EOA) Measurements Over Time [Baseline, Discharge and 6 months]

      Effective orifice area represents the cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve. Effective orifice area is evaluated by echocardiography over time.

    9. Subject's Average Effective Orifice Area Index (EOAI) Measurement Over Time. [Discharge and 6 months]

      Effective orifice area index represents the minimal cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve divided by the person's body surface area. Effective orifice area index is evaluated by echocardiography over time.

    10. Subject's Average Performance Index Measurements Over Time. [Baseline, Discharge and 6 months]

      Performance index is defined as the subject's effective orifice area (the cross-sectional area of the blood flow downstream of the aortic valve) divided by the subject's pre-implant orifice area. Effective orifice area is evaluated by echocardiography over time.

    11. Subject's Average Cardiac Output Over Time [Baseline, Discharge and 6 months]

      The amount of blood the heart pumps through the circulatory system in a minute.

    12. Subject's Average Cardiac Index [Discharge and 6 months]

      A measure of cardiac output per square meter of body surface area

    13. Subject's Amount of Paravalvular Leak Over Time. [Discharge and 6 months]

      Paravalvular leak refers to blood flowing through a channel between the implanted artificial valve and the cardiac tissue as a result of inappropriate sealing. Paravalvular leak is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from minimum of 0 to maximum of 4, where 0 = no leak, 1 = a trace leak, 2 = a mild leak, 3 = a moderate leak, and 4 = a severe leak. Higher numbers on the scale show a worsening outcome.

    14. Subject's Amount of Aortic Valvular Regurgitation Over Time. [Discharge and 6 Months]

      Aortic valvular regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly allowing some of the blood that was pumped out of the heart to leak back into it. Aortic valvular regurgitation is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from minimum of 0 to maximum of 4, where 0 = no leak, 1 = a trace leak, 2 = a mild leak, 3 = a moderate leak, and 4 = a severe leak. Higher numbers on the scale show a worsening outcome.

    Other Outcome Measures

    1. Subject's Average SF-36 Physical Health Summary [Baseline and 6 months]

      The Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 - Physical Health Summary The SF-36 questionnaire scale ranges from 100, which reflects the best health status to 0, which reflects the worse health status.

    2. Subject's Average SF-36 Mental Health Summary [Baseline and 6 months]

      The Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form 36 - Mental Health Summary The SF-36 questionnaire scale ranges from 100, which reflects the best health status to 0, which reflects the worse health status.

    3. Subject's New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Class Compared to Baseline [6 months compared to baseline]

      The New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification system relates symptoms to everyday activities and the patient's quality of life. Class I. Patients with cardiac disease but without resulting limitation of physical activity. Class II. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in slight limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Class III. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in marked limitation of physical activity. They are comfortable at rest. Class IV. Patients with cardiac disease resulting in inability to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. Symptoms of heart failure or the anginal syndrome may be present even at rest.

    4. Subject's Average Score on the EQ-5D - Quality of Life Questionnaire Over Time [Baseline and 6 months]

      The EuroQol-5 Dimension (EQ-5D) is a standardized questionnaire that asks subjects to rate themselves (no problems, some problems, extreme problems) on mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. The scale is indexed and ranges from a minimum of 0.275 and a maximum of 1.000. A lower number indicates the participants experiences more problems and a higher number indicates the participants experiences fewer problems.

    5. Subject's Average Fitness for Hospital Discharge [Day of surgical procedure through discharge from the hospital; an average of 7 days]

      Considered as the day at which the patient was fit for hospital discharge.

    6. Number of Early Adverse Events Divided by Number of Subjects (Expressed as a Percentage) [Events occurring within 30 days of procedure]

      Number of early adverse events occurring within 30 days of procedure divided by the number of enrolled subjects times 100

    Title Subject's Amount of Aortic Valvular Regurgitation Over Time.
    Description Aortic valvular regurgitation occurs when the aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly allowing some of the blood that was pumped out of the heart to leak back into it. Aortic valvular regurgitation is evaluated by echocardiography over time. It is assessed on a scale from minimum of 0 to maximum of 4, where 0 = no leak, 1 = a trace leak, 2 = a mild leak, 3 = a moderate leak, and 4 = a severe leak.
