Product DescriptionTranscatheter aortic valve and retrievable delivery system consists  of valve, delivery system, loading tool and guide wire.  
•The valve is composed of three leaflets (bovine pericardium), skirt (PET), clip (NiTi) and self expanding stent (NiTi) through suture (PTFE).
•The delivery system which includes battery is mainly composed of conduit and handle.
•The loading tool comprises a guide seat, a guide cover, a protective tube and tweezers.
•The guide wire is composed of winding wire and core wire.
The valve is sterilized with chemical liquid and is disposable with shelf life of 1 year. The delivery system, loading tools and guide wires are sterilized with ethylene oxide and are disposable with shelf life of 2 years.
Indications for UseThe product is intended for patients with severe degenerative autogenous aortic stenosis with symptomatic calcification and not for patients aged 70 years or older who underwent conventional surgical valve replacement

Summary of Clinical EvaluationClinical pathway: Combined CER pathway and clinical trail pathway
•CER pathway: Select the listed products of the same manufacturer as the predicate. The main difference between the declared products and the predicate is that the delivery system is changed to a retrievable delivery system.
•Clinical trail pathway: The study is a prospective, multicenter, single group target value clinical trial. It is planned to include 145 subjects to verify the safety and effectiveness of the product.

Product Risk/Benefit AnalysisMajor benefits brought by the clinical use of the product to the applicable population are:
•Improving the patient’s cardiac function;
•Improving the patient’s quality of life;
•Adjusting the valve release position through recycling operation.
The major risks that the clinical use of the product may bring to the applicable population are the potential clinical risks brought by the retrievable function compared with the non retrievable delivery system. In addition to the known adverse events of transcatheter aortic valve, the potential risks of retrievable delivery system include:
•Injury to aortic root;
•Calcified plaque of vascular wall falls off;
•Increase the incidence of calcified plaque embolism or cerebrovascular time.
