The TransCatheter Valve and Vessels Trial

Overview

The trial objective is to investigate whether Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR)-Guided Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) and TransCatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) strategy for treatment of multivessel disease and aortic stenosis will be non-inferior to Coronary Artery By-pass Grafting (CABG) and Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR) for a composite primary endpoint of all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, coronary or valve re-intervention and life-threatening or disabling bleeding at one year.

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: April 1, 2024

Detailed Description

Prospective, randomized, controlled, open label, multicenter, international, non-inferiority trial If the Heart Team decides that a coronary revascularization and aortic valve replacement is needed and the patient complies with inclusion and exclusion criteria then the patient will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion between FFR-guided PCI + TAVI and CABG + SAVR. Patients will receive optimal medical treatment at discharge. Follow-up will be performed at 30 days and at one year. During the 30 day follow-up visit (after TAVI) patients will be evaluated for symptoms of angina.

Interventions

  • Device: FFR-guided PCI and TAVI
    • Treatment of subjects with multivessel coronary artery disease and aortic stenosis for FFR-guided PCI and TAVI (Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R or Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R PRO)
  • Device: CABG and SAVR
    • Treatment of subjects with multivessel coronary artery disease and aortic stenosis for CABG and SAVR

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: FFR-guided PCI and TAVI
    • FFR-guided PCI and subsequently TAVI treatment with the Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R or Medtronic CoreValve Evolut R PRO
  • Active Comparator: CABG and SAVR
    • CABG and SAVR
