About this trial

The objective of this study is to investigate safety and performance of the Free Margin Cusp sizer. The device will be used during aortic valve repair and sparing procedures as a caliper to measure the aortic valve free margin length at different stages of the procedure. The patient will be followed for one year clinically (at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months) and by echocardiography (at 6 and 12 months) to assess aortic valve function.
