Quantification of Debris Captured Using Transcatheter Cerebral Embolic Protection (TCEP) During Valve in Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (VIV TAVR) With Bioprosthetic Valvular Fracture (BVF)
Saint Luke's Health System
Summary
The objective of this study is to quantify the amount of debris captured by the SENTINEL transcatheter cerebral embolic protection (TCEP) device in patients undergoing valve in valve transcatheter aortic valve replacement (VIV TAVR) with bioprosthetic valvular fracture (BVF)
Description
SENTINEL VIV-TAVR is a prospective, single-center, single-arm, unblinded pilot trial. A total of 20 subjects with severe symptomatic bioprosthetic aortic valve degeneration, who are deemed to be at high or prohibitive mortality risk related to surgical aortic valve replacement, and are undergoing VIV-TAVR and BVF, will be enrolled at the Mid-America Heart Institute, St-Luke's Hospital of Kansas City. Subjects will initially have an aortic arch angiogram done to confirm appropriate anatomy, followed by the SENTINEL device implanted through right radial artery approach. After that, patients will…

Inclusion Criteria: * Men and Women ≥ 18 years of age * The patient has severe bioprosthetic aortic valve degeneration (stenosis, insufficiency, or mixed valve disease) and a clinical indication for VIV TAVR * The bioprosthetic valve can be fractured with high pressure balloon inflation. * The patient is deemed at prohibitive or high mortality risk related to surgical aortic valve replacement as assessed by the Heart Team * For procedural planning, all patients must have a CT angiogram of the chest, abdomen and pelvis to confirm: A. Adequate femoral access for the TAVR procedure B. Appropria…
Interventions
- DeviceVIV TAVR with BVF using TCEP
The insertion and retrieval of the SENTINEL device is performed at the time of the patients TAVR procedure in the same setting while they are sedated under moderate sedation or general anesthesia depending on the case. The device is inserted at the initiation of the procedure through 6F right radial artery access and the filters are positioned in the left common carotid artery and brachiocephalic artery. After deployment, the usual TAVR procedure is performed. At the conclusion of the procedure, the SENTINEL device is extracted and hemostasis is achieved at the radial access site in the usual fashion with patent hemostasis.
