Am Heart JPublished Randomised controlled trial

Study context

Population
Patients with pure native severe aortic regurgitation (AR) and high surgical riskplanned enrolment 210
Planned comparison
Transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with VitaFlow valve + guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT) vs GDMT alone
Primary endpoint
Major adverse cardiac events (MACE):
  • All-cause mortality
  • Disabling stroke
  • Rehospitalization for HF
Follow-up
12 months after the procedure
