What is being measured

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

  1. Time-on-table

    • time to patient on table to surgical drapes down
    • time to patient on table to when deemed safe for transport by anesthesiologist and surgeon

    Measured: <1 day

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Number of patients with serious adverse events

    • deaths
    • conversion from sedation to intubation
    • hypersensitivity reactions

    Measured: within 30 days

  2. Length of stay

    • ICU length of stay (days)
    • Hospital length of stay (days)

    Measured: within 30 days

  3. Readmissions

    Number of patients readmitted within 30 days of initial procedure

    Measured: within 30 days

  4. Number of Patients with Valve Complications

    • paravalvular leak on echocardiogram
    • pacemaker requirement
    • vascular complications requiring reintervention
    • post-procedure requiring valve dilation

    Measured: within 30 days

  5. Contrast usage

    Amount of contrast used in mL for procedure

    Measured: <1 day

  6. Fluoroscopy time

    Amount of time fluoroscopy used

    Measured: <1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing General Anesthesia and Conscious Sedation in people with Aortic Stenosis, run by Montefiore Medical Center.

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 6 inclusion and 9 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Time-on-table (time frame: <1 day). 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 NCT03084978, 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?
