ACURATE Neo™ Aortic Bioprosthesis for Implantation Using the ACURATE TA™ LP Transapical Delivery System in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis

Symetis SA15 enrolled

Overview

Trial of ACURATE neo(TM) Aortic Bioprosthesis for Implantation using the ACURATE TA(TM) LP Transapical Delivery System in Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis for evaluating the Safety and performance of the study device

This is a single arm, prospective, multicenter non randomised and open trial of the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis where conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) via open heart surgery is considered to be high risk. All patients will be followed up to 5 years after the intervention. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and performance of the study device in patients presenting with severe aortic stenosis considered to be high risk for surgery Secondary objective is to evaluate adverse events and study device performance.
