  • Study Design
    • Allocation: N/A
    • Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: September 2010

Detailed Description

A single arm, prospective, multicenter, open trial up to 5 year follow-up with the SYMETIS ACURATE TA™ which is an aortic bioprosthesis for minimal invasive implantation via transapical access to treat patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis where conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) via open heart surgery is considered to be associated with high surgical risk for evaluating the feasibility and performance of the implantation and the safety at 30-Day follow-up.

Interventions

  • Device: ACURATE TA™
    • ACURATE TA™ Transapical Aortic Bioprosthesis is intended for subjects with severe symptomatic Aortic Stenosis and are considered high risk for surgical conventional Aortic Valve Replacement surgery.

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: ACURATE TA™
    • Patients implanted with ACURATE TA™ Bioprosthesis
