NCT ID: NCT00329667

Last Updated: 2019-02-04

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: NA

• Study Completion Date: 2008-09-30

Brief Summary

This study is a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, observational study. The objectives of this study are to confirm the clinical safety and efficacy of the SJM Epic valve.

Detailed Description

This study is a multi-centered, multi-country, prospective, non-randomized, observational study, without concurrent or matched controls, conducted under a common protocol. Bayesian methods will be used for the design and analysis of this study. The Bayesian model will determine if the data for the valve configurations are poolable. Bayesian methods also provide a means of determining the appropriate stopping time for the study based on the amount of information generated. The objectives of this study are to confirm the clinical safety and efficacy of the SJM Epic Valve by establishing the following:

• adverse effect rates
• clinical status as indicated by NYHA functional classification
• hemodynamic performance

Conditions

Valvular Heart Disease

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NON_RANDOMIZED
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Interventions

EPIC

Surgical replacement of a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning native or prosthetic aortic and/or mitral heart valves

Intervention Type: DEVICE

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

• The patient (or legal guardian) has signed a study-specific informed consent, agreeing to the data collection and follow-up requirements.
• The patient is of legal age in host country.

Exclusion Criteria

• Patient already has a prosthetic valve, other than the aortic and/or mitral valve being replaced at this time.
• The patient requires replacement of the tricuspid or pulmonary valve.
• The patient is pregnant or nursing.
• Patient has active endocarditis.
• Patient is actively participating in the study of an investigational drug or device.
• Patient has had an acute preoperative neurological event.
• The patient is undergoing renal dialysis.
• Patient is an intravenous drug abuser, alcohol abuser or prison inmate.
• Patient has an inability or unwillingness to return for the required follow-up intervals.
• The patient had the SJM Epic Valve implanted during the clinical study but then had the bioprosthesis explanted.

• Minimum Eligible Age: 18 Years
• Eligible Sex: ALL
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No
