About this study

Official title: Cardiac Vascular Reconstruction (CAVAREC) DynaCT for 3D Assessment of Aortic Valve During TAVI Procedures

The purpose of this work is to evaluate the feasibility of a new Cardiac Vascular Reconstruction (CAVAREC, Siemens Medical Systems, Germany) image reconstruction algorithm for use during transcatheter aortic valve implant (TAVI) procedures or interventional procedures to treat congenital or structural heart disease. CAVAREC utilizes the same x-ray projection images as currently acquired for clinical DynaCT. X-ray image acquisition to allow CAVAREC will occur during the interventional procedure after the TAVI device, other valve, or stent is implanted. If the participants already have a surgically-implanted TAVI device, stent or other device, and are having a cardiac catheterization, then an extra set of images will be acquired after your clinical care is complete, but before you leave the procedure room. The CAVAREC image processing algorithm will be implemented on an off-line workstation after the interventional procedure is complete. After the TAVI procedure, CAVAREC images will be quantitatively and qualitatively compared to Siemens DynaCT and cardiac CT images from Radiology. The results of this study will be used to direct further development of CAVAREC toward the end goal of providing improved imaging capabilities to guide TAVI, congenital heart, or structural heart treatment procedures.

Read the detailed description
  1. Compare utility of CAVAREC to standard DynaCT and cardiac CT for clinical assessment of the aortic valve and relevant, nearby anatomical structures.
  2. Investigate the utility of CAVAREC to assess calcification within and surrounding the native aortic valve.
  3. Investigate the utility of CAVAREC to assess procedural success, including prosthetic valve placement and annular anatomic correlates of paravalvular leak.
  4. Validate utility of CAVAREC for images acquired during normal sinus rhythm.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CAVAREC Image Processing algorithmOther

    After deployment of the TAVI prosthesis, other trans catheter valve, or stent, but before the patient care episode is completed, a set of rotational x-ray angiography images will be acquired and reconstructed using the clinical DyanCT and research CAVAREC algorithms.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of images of the aortic valve that are accurate

    Qualitative image assessment will be performed by Board Certified Cardiologists and/or Radiologists who are familiar with cardiac CT image manipulation and interpretation.

    Measured: approx 2 hours after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CAVAREC Image Processing algorithm in people with Aortic Valve Disease, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of images of the aortic valve that are accurate (time frame: approx 2 hours after surgery). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Jan 2019.
