About this study
Official title: SAPIEN Ultra RESILIA Durability EU Registry - The RESOUND-EU Registry
Evaluation of clinical outcomes and valve performance of the SAPIEN 3 Ultra Resilia (S3UR) valve over 10 years.
Read the detailed description
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI) has become the gold standard treatment for moderate-to-high risk elderly patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. Based on the results of randomized trials including low risk patients, this treatment has been progressively applied to younger (in the sixties and seventies) patients with a low co-morbidity burden. Life expectancy in this group is expected to extend beyond 5 years from intervention in the vast majority of patients, and beyond 10 years in a high proportion. Thus, the issue of valve durability has become one of the most important aspects in the TAVI field in recent years. To date, the rates of bioprosthetic valve failure at 8-10 years after TAVI have been consistently <10%, but some studies have shown some degree of valve structural degeneration in close to one third of the patients at 8-year follow-up. This subclinical valve degeneration before the 10-year follow-up landmark would represent the initial step in the process of bioprosthetic valve failure, and further valve degeneration leading to clinical symptoms is likely to occur in a significant proportion of these cases.
This prospective registry will evaluate the clinical outcomes and the valve performance of the SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA valve over 10 years.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and Aortic-Stenosis, run by Institut für Pharmakologie und Präventive Medizin at 1 site in Germany.
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 3 inclusion and 17 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Claudia Lüske, PhD (044718503324, claudia.lueske@ippmed.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Early Safety (time frame: 1-3 months). The study lists 5 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 30 Jul 2026.
