Who may be able to join
AI generated eligibility summary. Written by an AI model from the official source data and checked on a sample basis. It can contain mistakes, so confirm anything important against the original source. How we use AI
Who might be able to join this trial:
- People who have a failing surgically implanted heart valve (a type called a bioprosthetic valve) with severe narrowing and/or leaking of the aortic valve, where the heart team has approved a "valve-in-valve" procedure (placing a new valve inside the existing one)
- People whose surgically implanted valve has a frame (stented) and has a labelled size of 25 mm or smaller
- People whose planned treatment involves a specific replacement valve device called the SAPIEN 3 Ultra
Who may not be able to join:
- People whose existing surgical valve is a stentless or sutureless type (does not have an internal frame)
- People whose existing surgical valve is a Trifecta bioprosthesis (a specific brand/model of valve)
- People whose existing surgical valve is a Hancock II bioprosthesis (another specific brand/model of valve)
- People where scans show a high risk that the new valve could block blood flow to the coronary arteries (the vessels that supply the heart with blood), based on measurements or the judgment of the heart team (confirm with trial site)
- People who are unable to provide written consent to participate in the trial
