About this study

Official title: Evaluate the Protective Effect of Conditioning With Sevoflurane Versus Propofol on the Myocardium in Scheduled Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery

Heart surgery is a considerable source of stress for the myocardium that must be minimized.

Troponin Ic is a reliable marker to determine the level of this myocardial stress.

Studies have shown that post-conditioning with AVH has a protective effect on the myocardium, if the treatment is initiated at the start of the ischemia.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the protective effect on the myocardium (by measuring troponin levels) of the association of pre-conditioning and post-conditioning with Sevoflurane (AVH) sedation administered during and after scheduled surgery for valve replacement, via sternotomy or thoracotomy compared with total intravenous anaesthesia with Propofol.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing total anaesthesia and postoperative inhaled sedation with Sevoflurane and total intravenous anaesthesia with Propofol. in people with Cardiac Surgery, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire Dijon at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 12 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 6 Feb 2026. 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 France. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Levels of troponin (time frame: Change at Hour 6, Hour 12, Hour 24, Hour 48 compared with baseline level). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02851433, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 6 Feb 2026.
