About this trial
The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) using the Hydra transcatheter aortic heart valve (THV) series, in patients with severe aortic stenosis up to 1-year after the procedure. This will include an evaluation of the preservation of coronary access post implant by attempting to selectively engage both the right and left coronary arteries through standardised angiographic views.
The study will also examine the utility of 72 hours of post discharge remote ambulatory continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring using the novel Checkpoint Cardio System where it is clinically appropriate.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients with severe aortic stenosis eligible for transfemoral TAVI procedure as per local Heart Team evaluation
Full understanding and willing to provide informed consent to study enrolment
Age ≥ 18 years
Disqualifiers
Contraindications to TAVI (e.g., anatomically phenotypes, intracardiac mass, thrombus, vegetation, endocarditis)
Refusal to provide informed consent to study enrolment
Patients with severe aorta or peripheral artery disease precluding transfemoral approach of TAVI
Patients with significant calcification of the aortic annulus and in the Left Ventricular Outflow Tract (LVOT), or/and excess calcium within each cusp, or those who are deemed unsuitable for the Hydra THV series based on the clinical judgment of the Investigator.
