Official Title
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Versu Surgical Aortix Valve Replacement for Treating Elderly Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis and Small Aortic Annuli: A Prospective Randomized Study The VIVA Trial
Brief Summary
To date, no formal, randomized, prospective, head-to-head comparisons of surgical aortic
valve replacement (SAVR) versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have been
undertaken in the severe aortic stenosis (AS) population with small aortic annuli. Objectives
of the present study are to compare the hemodynamic performance (incidence of severe PPM and
≥ moderate AR) and clinical outcomes (death, stroke, major or life threatening bleeding)
between TAVR and SAVR in patients with severe AS and small aortic annuli.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized open-label trial including patients with
severe AS and small aortic annulus (mean aortic annuli diameter ˂22mm, evaluated by 3D-CT or
3D-TEE). Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to either TAVR or SAVR. The TAVR
procedure will be performed with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 valve (20 or 23mm) or the CoreValve
Evolut R or Evolut PRO valve system (23 or 26 mm).New iterations of these valve models may
also be included. The SAVR procedure will be performed using standard techniques, with no
limitation in terms of type and size of the valve prosthesis or surgical procedure (e.g.
enlargement of the aortic root). For both TAVR and SAVR, the choice of the type and size of
valve, access route (for TAVR), utilization of additional procedures such as root enlargement
will be left at the discretion of heart team of the site treating the patient.
Study Type
Interventional
Primary Outcome
Valve performance: rate of prothesis-patient mismatch (PPM) and/or aortic regurgitation (AR)
Secondary Outcome
Rate of PPM
Condition
Degenerative Aortic Valve Disease
Intervention
Edwards
Study Arms / Comparison Groups
TAVR
Description: The TAVR procedure will be performed following the standards of each participating center. No restriction or specific recommendation will be given regarding the approach, general vs. local abesthesia, Imaging guidance during the TAVR procedure, and post-procedural TAVR management.
