Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages Any age
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Primary care clinic - Patients at each enrolling clinic who are to be treated with the Medtronic CoreValve or other self-expanding TAVI device are eligible for enrollment.

Who may be able to join

  • Subjects with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS) indicated and scheduled for a transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) with the Medtronic CoreValve or another self-expanding TAVI device.
  • The TAVI device size is determined preoperatively with CTA according to standard guidelines. Patients may undergo transfemoral, subclavian, or transaortic approach.
  • Balloon postdilatation (BPD) is carried out after CoreValve or other self-expanding TAVI device implantation if, based on operator's judgment, BPD is indicated because of presence of paravalvular leak (PVL).
  • Hemodynamically stable for 3 - 10 minutes after the TAVI procedure.
  • Probable survival to hospital discharge.
  • Subject is competent, willing to comply with evaluations, understands risks, benefits and alternatives and has signed the Informed Consent Form.

Who cannot join

  • Cardiogenic shock, as defined by a consistent systolic blood pressure <80 mmHg off vasopressors or <90 mmHg on vasopressors.
  • PVL occurring secondary to excessively high or low valve positioning.
  • Trauma or significant structural damage to underlying native tissue calls for emergent intervention or threatens long-term outcome prior to the BPD.
  • Patients receiving two valves (i.e. aortic THV valve in valve).
  • Patients with AS secondary to congenital valve disease including bicuspid aortic valve.
  • PVL occurring due to TAVI device under sizing. Example of determining the undersizing is to calculate the Cover Index which represents the percent of over sizing of the nominal transcatheter heart valve (THV) area compared to the measured native valve annulus area. Under sizing is defined as TAVI screening CTA with a pre procedure cover index by area of <5%.
  • Vulnerable subjects and any subjects incapable of giving consent, including patients with incurable diseases, patients in emergency situations, ethnic minority groups, homeless persons, nomads, refugees, minors, and subjects with cognitive impairment, such as persons with a mental illness or dementia.

About this study

Official title: Impact of Postdilatation With the InterValve V8 Aortic Valvuloplasty Balloon Following Medtronic CoreValve or Other Self-Expanding TAVI Procedure (PostCorE)

This study is designed to monitor the safety and performance of the V8 balloon when used as a postdilatation balloon in self-expanding Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) device procedures. The study product is CE marked for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV), and is being investigated for an expanded intended use.

Read the detailed description

The study is a prospective, multi-center, single arm open-label clinical study involving up to 5 centers and a minimum of 20 subjects. Up to 50 subjects may be enrolled in this study. The first 3 post-dilatation procedures for each investigator will be considered roll-ins and not included in the main study analyses. Subjects will exit the study at hospital discharge or 7 days post treatment, whichever comes first. The expected duration of the clinical investigation is approximately 6 months.

Subjects implanted with the CoreValve or other commercially available self-expanding TAVI and with the use of the V8 as a postdilatation balloon may be enrolled in this study. The subject will exit the study after the predischarge ECHO where the Paravalvular Leak (PVL) measurements are taken or resolution of a V8 related AE (if applicable).

  • Post-dilatationDevice

    Post-dilatation in self-expanding TAVI device procedures

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Efficacy Endpoint: V8 Device Performance

    Rate of successful V8 balloon fixation within the TAVI prosthesis: during rapid ventricular pacing, proximal and distal balloon segments are securely fixed on either side of the native aortic valve annulus following inflation

    Measured: Intra-Procedure

  2. Safety Endpoint: Serious Adverse Events (SAE)

    The composite of SAEs as defined by the Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC II)

    Measured: Intra-procedure until discharge or 7 days post-procedure, whichever comes first. (Typical discharge is expected to be within 7 days.)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Efficacy Endpoint: Degree of Paravalvular Leak (PVL)

    PVL determined by collating as many data points as possible using TTE, TEE, aortic root angiography, and/or hemodynamic measurements

    Measured: Intra-Procedure

  2. Efficacy Endpoint: Procedural Parameter - V8 Dimension

    Size of V8(s) used during procedure

    Measured: Intra-Procedure

  3. Efficacy Endpoint: Procedural Parameter - CoreValve Dimension

    Size of CoreValve(s) used during procedure

    Measured: Intra-Procedure

  4. Efficacy Endpoint: Procedural Parameter - Aortic Valve Measurement

    Aortic Valve measurements performed during procedure

    Measured: Intra-Procedure

  5. Safety Endpoint: 24hr Complication

    AE(s) defined in protocol attributable to V8 balloon post-dilatation (BPD) procedure

    Measured: 24 hours post-procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by InterValve, Inc..

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Aug 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Efficacy Endpoint: V8 Device Performance (time frame: Intra-Procedure). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 31 Aug 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
