Study population: Patients indicated for TAVR procedure

Who may be able to join

  • The patient must be ≥18 years of age.
  • Patient meets indications for TAVR procedure.
  • The patient is willing to comply with protocol-specified follow-up evaluations.
  • The patient, or legally authorized representative, has been informed of the nature of the study, agrees to its provisions and has provided written informed consent, approved by the appropriate Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Ethics Committee (EC).

Who cannot join

  • Patients undergoing TAVR via the trans-axillary, subclavian, or direct aortic route
  • Pregnant or nursing subjects and those who plan pregnancy in the period up to 1 year following index procedure. Female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test done within 7 days prior to index procedure per site standard test.
  • Patients with known diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 72 hours preceding the index procedure (according to definition) or AMI >72 hours preceding the index procedure, in whom creatine kinase and creatine kinase have not returned to within normal limits at the time of procedure.
  • Patients who are currently experiencing clinical symptoms consistent with new onset AMI, such as nitrate-unresponsive prolonged chest pain.
  • Patients with impaired renal function (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate [Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate] <30, calculated from serum creatinine by the Cockcroft-Gault formula).
  • Patients with a platelet count of <100.000 cells/mm³ or > 700.000 cells/mm³ or a white blood cell< 3000 cells/mm³ within 7 days prior to index procedure or per standard local practice.

  • Patients with a history of bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or patients in whom anti-platelet and/or anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated, or who will refuse transfusion.
  • Patients who have received any organ transplant or are on a waiting list for any organ transplant.
  • Patients with known other medical illness or known history of substance abuse that may cause non-compliance with the protocol, confound the data interpretation or is associated with a life expectancy of less than one year.
  • Patients with known hypersensitivity or contraindication to aspirin, heparin/bivalirudin, clopidogrel/ticlopidine, nitinol, stainless steel alloy, and/or contrast sensitivity that cannot be adequately pre-medicated.
  • Patients with a history of a stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA) within the prior 6 months.
  • Patients with an active peptic ulcer or history of upper gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding within the prior 6 months.
  • Patients presenting with cardiogenic shock.
  • Patients with documented friable or mobile atherosclerotic plaque in the aortic arch.
  • Patients with contraindication to cerebral MRI.
  • Patients with any other cardiovascular procedure prior to TAVR
  • Patients with severe aortic arch atheroma visible on CT scan

About this study

Official title: Neurological Complications of Contemporary Unprotected TAVR (Yale Neuro TAVR)

A prospective, multi-center study to evaluate the neuro-embolic consequences of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR)

Read the detailed description

Prospective, multi-center study enrolling a minimum of 20 up to a maximum of 80 patients at up to six investigational sites in the United States and European Union. Patients meeting eligibility criteria for TAVR will be enrolled to undergo diffusion-weighted MRI brain imaging pre-procedure (optional) and post-procedure and neuropsychological testing pre- and post-procedure, and at 30 days of follow-up.

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

  1. Incidence of diffusion-weighted MRI lesions following TAVR without cerebral embolic protection

    Number of new diffusion-weighted MRI lesions

    Measured: 1 week post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Keystone Heart at 5 sites 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 4 inclusion and 17 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 27 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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?

Incidence of diffusion-weighted MRI lesions following TAVR without cerebral embolic protection (time frame: 1 week post procedure). 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 27 Aug 2015.
