Comparison of the Balloon-Expandable Edwards Valve and Self-Expandable CoreValve Evolut R or Evolut PRO System for the Treatment of Small, Severely Dysfunctional Surgical Aortic Bioprotheses. The 'LYTEN' Trial

Condition(s) studied

Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)

TAVI_ViV procedure with Edwards valve: 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 anesthesia, imaging guidance during the TAVI procedure, and post-procedural TAVI management. The decision for selecting either a 20 or 23mm Edwards valve will be based on 3D CT measurements of the mean inner diameter of the surgical aortic bioprosthesis. A 23mm Sapien 3 valve will be recommended if the inner diameter is \>18 mm, and a 20mm valve will be selected if the mean inner diameter is ≤18 mm.

TAVI_ViV procedure with CoreValve system: 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 anesthesia, imaging guidance during the TAVI procedure, and post-procedural TAVI management. A 23mm valve will be recommended in all patients randomized to the self-expanding CoreValve Evolut R system.

Study summary

The treatment with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) of patients with small (≤23mm) surgical bioprostheses remains a challenge due to the increased transvalvular residual gradients and high rates of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) following the procedure.

Eligibility

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Rate of prothesis-patient mismatch (PPM) (valve performance) — 30 days
  Severe prothesis-patient mismatch (PPM) (defined as an index aortic valve area ≤0.65 cm2/m2) and/or moderate-severe aortic regurgitation (AR) (VARC-2 definition).
• Residual transvalvular gradient — 30 days
  Residual (maximal and mean) transvalvular gradient.
