Comparison of Allegra vs Sapien Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Valve-In-Valve Indication

Summary

The VIVALL-2 study is a randomized trial to compare the self-expandable supra-annular Allegra and the balloon-expandable intra-annular Edwards transcatheter valve systems in patients with degenerated biological aortic surgical valve.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Patients meeting ALL the following criteria will be included:

* Patients aged ≥ 18 years.
* Severe haemodynamical valve deterioration of a biological aortic valve implanted surgically, including severe valve stenosis (effective aortic valve area \< 1.0 cm2) and/or severe valve regurgitation.
* The patient has cardiac symptoms and/or deterioration of left ventricular ejection fraction attributable to the aortic valve disease.
* Heart team decision of VIV procedure.
* Patient is willing to return at 30 days for TTE and to be clinically contacted at 1 year.

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients meeting, at least, 1 of the following criteria will be excluded:

* Patients who openly express their refusal to participate in the study.
* Female patients in gestational age.
* Presence or suspicious of biological aortic valve thrombosis.
* Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to antithrombotic therapy (or inability to be anticoagulated during the procedure), nitinol, or sensitivity to contrast media which cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
* Ongoing sepsis and/or suspicious or diagnosis of endocarditis.
* Patients whose life expectancy is \< 1 year due to non-cardiac comorbid conditions.
* Medical, social, or psychological conditions that preclude the subject from appropriate consent or adherence to the protocol required follow-up exams.
* True inner diameter of the prosthetic valve \> 27 mm.
* Transfemoral access inadequate to accommodate an 18F sheath.
* Patients included in other clinical trials (excluding registries).
