The study is comparing two ways to fix a heart problem called aortic regurgitation (AR), where the heart valve doesn't close tightly enough, causing blood to flow backwards. One way is surgery, called Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR), and the other is using a special device, the Trilogy Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System, which is inserted without open heart surgery.
- Participants must have a significant AR and be eligible for both treatments.
- The study involves follow-up visits after the procedure.
- Participants should not have other serious health issues or conditions that make the procedures risky.
Not everyone can join. You can't participate if your AR isn't severe enough, if you have certain other heart or health problems, or if you can't have certain medical tests or treatments. The study ensures that the new method is as good as the traditional surgery for those who qualify.
