Replacement of the aortic valve by surgery or by a catheter-implanted prosthesis (THV Myval) in patients aged 65 to 75 years with severe aortic valve stenosis.
Descrizione riassuntiva dello studio
Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most common heart valve disease in people over 65 years old. It becomes more common with age. Currently, recommendations suggest surgical operation (SAVR) to replace the aortic valve in patients under 75 years old. In older or high-risk patients, a less invasive method called TAVR (transcatheter aortic valve replacement) is preferred. SAVR is the standard method, but TAVR is a promising alternative. Some studies have shown that TAVR yields similar results to SAVR, but its long-term effectiveness in patients aged 65 to 75 years remains to be proven. The START YOUNG study is a prospective clinical study conducted in several hospitals. It is randomized: patients are allocated by random draw (1:1) into two groups. One will receive a TAVR with the THV Myval valve, the other will undergo surgery (SAVR). The study will include 1,180 patients aged 65 to 75 years. All devices are CE certified and comply with clinical standards. In each hospital, two departments participate: interventional cardiology for TAVR and surgery for SAVR, each with a responsible physician. The objective is to demonstrate that TAVR with the THV Myval valve provides clinical results comparable to surgery in patients aged 65 to 75 years with severe aortic stenosis. Included and consenting patients will be followed for 5 years, with visits at 30 days, 12 months, and then annually. Patient inclusion is expected to last about 18 months.

Intervento studiato
The aim of the study is to demonstrate that the clinical outcomes of the THV Myval valve, implanted via catheter and expandable balloon, are not inferior to those of conventional surgery (SAVR) in patients aged 65 to 75 years with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis.
Participants will be randomly assigned (1:1) into two groups:
• The first will receive a THV Myval heart valve implanted via catheter (procedure performed by an interventional cardiologist).
• The second will receive a valve through conventional cardiac surgery (performed by a cardiac surgeon).
All procedures will follow the standard practices of each hospital. Only CE certified devices will be used for this study.
