JUPITER Study: Transapical Aortic Valve Implantation for Aortic Regurgitation

The objective of this study is to evaluate the long term safety and effectiveness of the CE-marked JenaValve System Transapical in an elderly patient population with severe aortic stenosis and/or aortic insufficiency who are at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement. The target study population will consist of elderly patients suffering from severe symptomatic degenerative aortic valve stenosis and/or aortic insufficiency who show an increased risk for an open aortic valve replacement surgery due to existing co-morbidities.
