The EMPIRE II study evaluates the safety and performance of the entire ALLEGRA THV System. The primary safety endpoint is composite of all-cause mortality or stroke rates at 12 months. And the primary performance endpoint is device success at 7 days. Based on the outcomes of a study with a similar device and considering a drop-out rate of 5%, 177 patients need to be enrolled in the study.

Quality of life as assessed using the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12)
Assessed with the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire (KCCQ-12). Patients are asked questions about physical limitation, symptom frequency, quality of life, and social limitation. Responses are given on a Likert scale that for each individual item is scored on a scale of 0-100 with higher scores indicating better health.
