Summary

This trial is testing a new heart valve and delivery system for people with aortic stenosis. The goal is to see if it is safe and effective.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis who are at intermediate risk. They must have heart valve issues confirmed by specific tests and be able to follow up for five years post-procedure. It's not suitable for those deemed inoperable, unstable, needing emergency surgery, or with complex coronary artery disease.
What is being tested?
The PARTNER II Trial is testing the Edwards SAPIEN 3 transcatheter heart valve in patients with calcific aortic stenosis. The goal is to assess its safety and effectiveness compared to standard treatments in individuals at intermediate surgical risk.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects of TAVR include bleeding, blood vessel complications, irregular heartbeats, stroke, infection around the valve implant site and potential need for a permanent pacemaker.
