Study Summary
This trial is testing a new heart valve to see if it is safe and effective for people with a certain type of heart problem.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with severe, calcified aortic stenosis who are experiencing symptoms and have at least a moderate functional impairment due to the condition. They must understand the study and consent to participate. Exclusions include pregnancy, recent heart attacks or procedures, certain heart diseases, planned surgeries, extreme obesity (BMI > 50), very low life expectancy or ejection fraction, blood disorders, active infections including COVID-19.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The SAPIEN X4 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) is being tested for safety and effectiveness in treating symptomatic severe calcific aortic stenosis. The study aims to see if this valve can improve heart function without major surgery by implanting it through a catheter.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include risks associated with heart valve replacement such as bleeding complications, irregular heart rhythms, infection risk around the new valve area (endocarditis), stroke risk during implantation procedure and possible need for permanent pacemaker.
