Brief Summary
The Trifecta™ LTFU Study is a single-arm, multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, post-market study conducted in the United States and Canada to collect long-term safety and effectiveness data through 10 years after implant of the Trifecta™ aortic bioprosthetic valve. The Trifecta™ is a tri-leaflet stented pericardial valve designed for supraannular placement in the aortic position. The Trifecta™ LTFU Study is an extension of the Trifecta™ Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) Study (NCT00475709) conducted to support United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of the Trifecta™ valve. All Trifecta™ LTFU Study subjects received Trifecta™ valve implants during participation in the Trifecta™ IDE study and subsequently consented to extended annual follow-up through 10 years under the Trifecta™ LTFU protocol.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Reoperation for Structural Valve Deterioration at 10 Years Post-Implant
Percentage of participants free from surgical explant or valve-in-valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation for treatment of structural deterioration of the Trifecta™ valve through 10 years post-implant. This percentage is estimated from time-to-event data using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Structural valve deterioration is deterioration intrinsic to the bioprosthetic valve, due to leaflet calcification, leaflet tears, or other causes, that results in prosthetic valve stenosis or regurgitation.
10 years post-implant
Secondary Outcomes (3)
Percentage of Participants With Freedom From All-Cause Mortality at 10 Years Post-Implant
10 years post-implant
Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Valve-Related Mortality at 10 Years Post-Implant
10 years post-implant
Percentage of Participants With Freedom From Structural Valve Deterioration at 10 Years Post-Implant
10 years post-implant
Other Outcomes (5)
Number of Late Adverse Events Per 100 Patient-Years of Follow-up
31 days through 10 years post-implant
Participants' Average Mean Transvalvular Gradient at 10 Years Post-implant by Valve Size
10 years post-implant
Participants' Mean Aortic Effective Orifice Area (EOA) Measurement at 10 Years Post-Implant by Valve Size

Study Arms (1)
Subjects previously implanted with a Trifecta™ valve in the Trifecta™ IDE Study
Subjects enrolled in this clinical study were implanted with the Trifecta™ aortic bioprosthetic valve during 2007, 2008 and 2009 as part of the Trifecta™ IDE Study conducted to obtain FDA approval.
Interventions
Aortic valve replacement with the Trifecta™ aortic bioprosthesis.
Eligibility Criteria
Subjects previously implanted with a Trifecta prosthetic valve
You may qualify if:
- Patient currently has a Trifecta™ aortic valve that was implanted at one of the U.S. or Canadian investigational sites during the Trifecta™ IDE study.
- Patient met eligibility criteria prior to enrollment in the Trifecta™ IDE study.
- Patient agrees to complete all required follow-up visits.
- Patient provided written informed consent prior to any study related procedure, as approved by the governing Institutional Review Board (IRB) or the Ethics Committee (EC) of the investigational site.
You may not qualify if:
- \. Patient is currently participating or planning to participate in any other study unless approved by the Sponsor.
