A single arm, prospective multicenter non-randomized pivotal clinical trial evaluating the 20mm Edwards SAPIEN XT™ transcatheter heart valve (model 9300TFX), NovaFlex™ transfemoral delivery system, and crimper accessories. The trial includes a premarket pivotal cohort to evaluate the system performance as well as a post market clinical follow-up phase involving long term follow-up of all patients to evaluate the safety of investigational devices up to 5 years.
Purpose: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of THV-9300 (20mm) for patients who have severe symptomatic aortic stenosis attributed to calcification and degeneration of a valve leaflet and for whom undergoing a surgery safely would be difficult. Enrollment: 15 patients (No.of patients needed: 12) Follow-up: Subject data collection will include clinical information at baseline and during the index procedure. Subjects will undergo clinical follow-up at discharge, 30 days, 6 months and annually for 5 years. Clinical sites: 1)Osaka University Hospital, 2)Kurashiki Central Hospital, 3)Sakakibara Heart Institute, 4) Kokura Memorial Hospital

NYHA Improvement and AVA >= 0.65 cm2
Improvement of the aortic valve area (AVA) and New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification from baseline to 1 year after the procedure. NYHA functional classification of heart failure based on how much a patient is limited during physical activity. The rating ranges from I-IV, with the lowest (I) as no limitations and the highest (IV) unable to carry on any physical activity without discomfort. The AVA at 1 year \>= 0.65 cm2 indicates improvement. This outcome measure shows the percentage of patients that had an improvement in both NYHA Class and AVA. Note: One patient did not complete a 6-month echo.
Time frame: 1 year
