This study objective is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 / SAPIEN 3 Ultra / SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA Transcatheter Heart Valve systems in subjects with moderate, calcific aortic stenosis. Following completion of enrollment, subjects will be eligible for enrollment in the continued access phase of the trial.
This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multicenter study. Subjects will be randomized to either transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the SAPIEN 3 / SAPIEN 3 Ultra /SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA THV or Clinical Surveillance.
Key Inclusion Criteria: 1. 65 years of age or older at time of randomization 2. Moderate aortic stenosis 3. Subject has symptoms or evidence of cardiac damage/dysfunction 4. The subject or subject's legal representative has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions, and has provided written informed consent. Key Exclusion Criteria: 1. Native aortic annulus size unsuitable for the THV 2. Anatomical characteristics that would preclude safe transfemoral placement of the introducer sheath or safe passage of the delivery system 3. Aortic valve is unicuspid or non-calcifi…
Patients will be implanted with a SAPIEN 3 / SAPIEN 3 Ultra / SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA heart valve
