Clinical Trial Summary

The Paradigm study is a prospective, multicenter, single arm study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III (AVP III) as a treatment for clinically significant PVLs following surgical implant of a mechanical or biological heart valve implanted in the aortic or mitral position.


Clinical Trial Description

PARADIGM is a prospective, international, multi-center, single arm study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the AVP III for percutaneous, transcatheter closure of paravalvular leak (PVL) occurring after aortic or mitral valve replacement with a surgically-implanted mechanical or bioprosthetic valve. The study will be conducted at approximately 25 clinical sites in the US, Europe, and Canada. A total of 200 subjects with a clinically significant PVL will undergo an AVP III implant procedure for PVL closure. Pre-procedural Baseline and follow-up assessments at Discharge, 30 days, 6 months and 1 year will include echocardiography, physical examinations, lab measurements and questionnaires to assess PVL severity, prosthetic valve function, hemolytic anemia, heart failure symptoms, and quality of life. Adverse events will be recorded throughout the study. ;
