NCT03371472

Brief Summary

Paravalvular leak (PVL) is a condition that could be treated surgically or by the transcatheter deployment of the occluder devices (plugs). No PVL-specific occluder device is available on the market. VALE consortium plans to design and validate a new PVL dedicated devices (sizing balloon and occluder) in the context of computer 3D modeling, bench testing, preclinical evaluation and clinical research.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of subjects with sizing procedure success (efficacy outcome)

    Sizing procedure is defined as effective when all following steps: device introduction into the leakage channel, filling in the leakage channel, obtaining a balloon image in the X-ray recording and removal of the balloon without complications are performed.

    During index procedure

  • Incidence of a combined investigational device safety endpoint (safety outcome)

    Safety of the investigational device defined as the occurrence/frequency of locking, fragmentation of the dimensioning balloon, enlargement of the leakage channel, locking of the mechanical prosthesis disks. Failure to use the investigational device defined as: locking of the dimensional balloon in site, fragmentation of the dimensional balloon, enlargement of the leakage channel dimension directly related to the application of the dimensional balloon, locking of the mechanical prosthesis disks. The failure will be assessed per investigational device and accounted for if at least one of four described events occur. Moreover, the frequency of each event will be additionally assessed and presented in per investigational device analysis.

    During index procedure

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Frequency of major undesirable cardiovascular events

    30 days observation

  • Frequency and severity of hemorrhagic complications

    30 days observation

  • Size of paravalvular leakage after procedure

    During index procedure

  • Comparison of the size of the paravalvular leakage channel illustrated by a dimensional balloon obtained using 3D-TEE and computerized tomography echocardiography

    During index procedure

  • Total radiation dose.

    During index procedure

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

VALE - PVL leak sizing balloon - mitral

OTHER

Placement and inflation of PVL leak sizing balloon for visualisation and measuring of paravalvular leak located in mitral position - Balton developed investigational balloon

Device: Visualisation and measuring of paravalvular leak.

VALE - PVL leak sizing balloon - aortic

OTHER

'Placement and inflation of PVL leak sizing balloon for visualisation and measuring of paravalvular leak located in aortic position - Balton developed investigational balloon

Device: Visualisation and measuring of paravalvular leak.

Interventions

Visualisation and measurements of PVL by investigational sizing ballons made by Balton. The balloon is a modification of diameter and length of existing sizing ballons (AcuMark™, AMPLATZER™, Occlutech®).
