Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria

echocardiographic measure

4. Ascending aorta diameter = 43 mm at the sino-tubular junction

(<0.6cm2 /m2) as defined pre procedure by echocardiographic measure

AND (Assessment of Surgical Risk)

Age = 80 years

AND/OR

AND/OR

Age = 65 years with one or two (but not more than 2) of the following criteria:

- Cirrhosis of the liver (Child class A or B)

- Pulmonary insufficiency : VMS < 1 liter

- Previous cardiac surgery (CABG, valvular surgery)

- Porcelain aorta

- Pulmonary hypertension > 60 mmHg and high probability of cardiac surgery for
other than valve replacement

- Recurrent pulmonary embolus

- Right ventricular insufficiency

- Thoracic burning sequelae contraindicating open chest surgery

specified visit windows, and agree to undergo all protocol evaluations at each visit
Minimum age
65 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin, ticlopidine,
clopidogrel, nitinol, porcine products, or contrast media which cannot be adequately
pre-medicated

echocardiography

5. Uncontrolled atrial fibrillation

6. Mitral or tricuspid valvular insufficiency (> grade II)

7. Previous aortic valve replacement (mechanical valve or stented bioprosthetic valve)

8. Evolutive or recent CVA (cerebrovascular accident), (<3 months)

9. Femoral, iliac or aortic vascular condition (e.g. stenosis, tortuosity), that make
impossible insertion and endovascular access to the aortic valve

10. Symptomatic carotid or vertebral arteries narrowing (> 70%) disease

11. Abdominal or thoracic aortic aneurysm

12. Bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy, or patient will refuse blood transfusion
