Background Up to a 20%-25% of severe aortic stenosis have been considered too high risk or inoperable. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVR), either transfemoral or trans-apical, has emerged as an alternative. Braile Biomedical: Established medical device company in Brazil Strong market share on heart valve surgical prosthesis
Inovare™ Aortic Valve Prosthesis Bovine pericardium Cobalt chrome metal frame Anti-leak polyester coating Tantalum radiopaque markers Sizes (mm): 20/22/24/26 Delivering apical sheath: 22F
Inovare™ Prosthesis International Standards • ANSI/AAMI/ISO 5840 Cardiovascular implants—Cardiacvalveprostheses • ANSI/AAMI/ISO 25539-1 Cardiovascular implants—Endovasculardevices— Part1: Endovascularprostheses • ISO/DIS 5840-3 Cardiovascular implants --Cardiac valve prostheses -- Part 3: Heart valve substitutes implanted by minimally invasive techniques -DRAFT
Objectives The aim of this study was to assess safety and efficacy of Inovare™ - the first Brazilian made transcatheter valve prosthesis.
Methods: Patient Selection Inclusion Criteria Exclusion Criteria Symptomatic severe AS Bioprosthesis Dysfunction Euro Score >15 and/or STS >10 Informed consent AMI Intracardiac Mass Limited Life Expectancy Bicuspid Valves
Patients N: 93 Age: 77 yo (34-88) Mean logistic Euro SCORE: 39 STS Score: 31 Valve in valve: 10 patients eGFR < 50: 76% PARTNER criteria A (High risk): 76% B (Inoperable): 24%
Procedural Success Definition Uncomplicated successful valve prosthesis implant over annulus. Residual echo mean gradient < 20 mm Hg. Aortic regurgitation <2+
Results (1) Procedural success: 87 (93.5%) Conversion to standard surgery: 3 (3.3%) ECHO mean gradient: 43.1 to 11.1 mm Hg Mortality: Procedural: 3 (3.3%) 30-day: 16 (17.2%) Permanent Pacemaker: 2 (2.2%) Stroke: 1 (1.07%)
Results (2): Procedural Data Procedural duration; (min) Fluoroscopy; (min) 164 ± 75 12.1 ± 5.9 Contrast Dye; (mL) 28 OR/Cath lab extubation; n (%) 78 (80)
Results (3): ECHO LV EF Mean Gradient * n = 33 Gradient (mmHg) Ejection Fraction (%) Time (Days) PRE POST 7 30 180 360 PRE POST 7 30 180 360 n = 33 TIME Rev Bras Cir Cardiovasc. 2011;26(3):338-47. Gaia, DF, et al.

Inovare™ Clinical Registry Results Medical Practice Effect This registry was the basis for ANVISA (Brazilian Drugs and Medical Devices Regulatory Agency) to approve the Inovare™ for clinical use in November 2011.
Conclusion Trans-apical TAVR with Inovare™ is both, safe and associated with acceptable midterm results. Longer term follow-up is mandatory in order to assess sustained late clinical results (quality of life and survival).
