This is a post-market, prospective, multicenter, single-arm post market study sponsored by Pi-Cardia Ltd. The ShortCut is indicated for use as a splitting device of bioprosthetic aortic valve leaflets to facilitate valve-in-valve procedures for subjects at risk for coronary obstruction. The ShortCut has been cleared by FDA under DEN240017, and this study is a post-market evaluation of the ShortCut per the FDA cleared indications for use. The objectives of the study are: 1. To collect real-world data on the use of ShortCut to split bioprosthetic aortic valve leaflets prior to TAVR in subjects at risk for coronary obstruction. 2. To collect real-world data on coronary patency following ShortCut and ViV TAVR procedures in subjects who are at risk for coronary artery ostium obstruction. Data will be collected, where available, from the subjects' medical records at the following time-points: baseline, index procedure, pre-discharge, and 30 days post-procedure.
Study Type
OBSERVATIONAL
Enrollment
150
A transfemoral catheter designed to split the bioprosthetic aortic valve leaflets prior to TAVR, to reduce the risk of coronary obstruction and coronary access compromise and enable a valve-in-valve procedure.
Primary Safety Assessment
Each of the following ShortCut- and/or ShortCut procedure-related adverse events at initial cardiac hospitalization discharge or 7 days post-procedure, whichever occurs first, as assessed by the Clinical Events Committee (CEC): * Cardiovascular Mortality * All Stroke
Time frame: At discharge or 7 days post-procedure, whichever occurs first
Primary Effectiveness Assessment
Rate of coronary patency of the coronary ostium adjacent to the treated leaflet by contrast aortography after TAVR implantation as assessed by a core lab.
Time frame: Immediately after TAVR procedure
