About this study

Official title: The Value of Patient-specific Computer Simulation in the Planning of TAVI With the Self-expanding Evolut R Valve

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation is increasingly used to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at increased risk for surgical aortic valve replacement and is projected to be the preferred treatment modality. As patient selection and operator experience have improved, it is hypothesised that device-host interactions will play a more dominant role in outcome. This, in combination with the increasing number of valve types and sizes, confronts the physician with the dilemma to choose the valve that best fits the individual patient. This necessitates the availability of pre-procedural computer simulation that is based upon the integration of the patient-specific anatomy, the physical and (bio)mechanical properties of the valve and recipient anatomy derived from in-vitro experiments. Patient-specific computer simulation may improve outcome of TAVI by proposing the valve size that best fits the individual patient.

The aim of this study is to assess the added value of patient-specific computer simulation in valve size selection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Decision 1- Valve size decision based on pre TAVI MSCT

    Valve size decision based on pre TAVI Multislice Computed Tomography (MSCT), which is performed in all patients referred for TAVI in accordance to clinical routine, during the heart team meeting

    Measured: an average of 2 days before TAVI, before TAVI and computer simulation

  2. Decision 2- Valve size decision after knowledge of the computer simulation results

    Valve size decision after availability of the results of computer simulation

    Measured: an average of 1 day before TAVI, before TAVI but after computer simulation

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Decision 3- Change of initial valve size decision during TAVI

    Change of valve size decision during TAVI due to computer simulation

    Measured: an average of 5 minutes after TAVI, directly after TAVI

  2. Decision 3- Change of initial depth of implantation strategy during TAVI

    Change of depth of implantation strategy during TAVI due to computer simulation

    Measured: an average of 5 minutes after TAVI, directly after TAVI

  3. Depth of implantation target

    Initial depth of implantation strategy

    Measured: an average of 2 days before TAVI, before TAVI and computer simulation

  4. Depth of implantation target 2

    Depth of implantation strategy after availability of computer simulation

    Measured: an average of 1 day before TAVI, before TAVI but after computer simulation

  5. Aortic regurgitation

    To compare the predicted (simulation) and observed degree of aortic regurgitation (echo post TAVI - Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC-2) criteria for aortic regurgitation)

    Measured: an average of 4 days after TAVI, at hospital discharge

  6. Correlation between predicted contact pressure and observed new conduction abnormality

    To compare the predicted maximum contact pressure, contact pressure index and conduction abnormalities with the observed occurrence of new conduction abnormalities after TAVI

    Measured: an average of 4 days after TAVI, at hospital discharge

  7. MACCE

    To assess the incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Event (MACCE)

    Measured: an average of 4 days after TAVI, at hospital discharge

  8. Incidence of the aforementioned outcome measures in a prospective group in whom no computer simulation will be perfomed

    To compare the clinical based valve size decision and the angiographic and echocardiographic valve performance, depth of implantation, new conduction disorders and MACCE in a prospectively collected group of patients in whom no computer simulation will be performed

    Measured: an average of 4 days after TAVI, at hospital discharge
