Trial summary

Currently there is an increase in the use of bioprosthesis worldwide (> 70% according to national data of the Spanish Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery). There is conflicting evidence regarding the long-term survival of patients aged 50-65 years with mechanical (M) or biological (B) aortic prostheses. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: 15 Years Outcomes Following Bioprosthetic vs Mechanical Isolated Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients Aged 50 to 65 Years in South Spain. The Andalousian Aortic Valve Multicentric Study (ANDALVALVE)

Currently there is an increase in the use of bioprosthesis worldwide (> 70% according to national data of the Spanish Society of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery).

There is conflicting evidence regarding the long-term survival of patients aged 50-65 years with mechanical (M) or biological (B) aortic prostheses. General consensus of greater complications associated with the use of long-life anticoagulation in M and of reoperation in B.

Similar survival with lower MACCE complications in bioprosthesis could reconsider their choice in patients aged 50-65 years, specially in the current TAVI era.

The investigators are going to perform a multicentric retrospective observational study (Registry) about 15 year-outcomes Following Bioprosthetic vs Mechanical Isolated Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis in Patients Aged 50 to 65 Years in 5 Cardiovascular Surgery Centers in Andalousia (south Spain)

Read the detailed description

Objectives The main objective is to analyze long-term survival (15 years) and major cardiovascular complications (MACE, (death of any cause, neurological events (TIA / stroke), any prosthesis reoperation, and major bleeding), in patients aged 50-65 years who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) due to severe aortic stenosis . Secondary objectives were to analyze the evolution of transprosthetic gradients by echocardiography, type of INR control, and degree of significant structural degeneration in bioprostheses.

Material and Method: A retrospective analytical study of patients aged 50-65 years who underwent AVR surgery for stenosis between 2000-2015 in all centers with a Cardiovascular Surgery Dept. in Andalousia (SPAIN) as an inclusion criterion. As exclusion criteria, autonomic change of residence, need for concomitant surgery, previous cardiac interventions and endocarditis. Survival analysis and clinical data will be performed through the Diraya Health Care medical records (DAE), direct telephone contact with family and / or relatives, A crude analysis of the data and a posterior analysis by propensity score matching with the help of the Foundation for Biomedical Research of Malaga (IBIMA) with SPSS software will be carried out using a 1: 1 "nearest neighbour" matching protocol based on the Number of total bioprosthesis. A total sample of more than 1200 cases is expected, of which about 380 would be bioprostheses that would serve as a basis for the pairing. To find a 10% difference in the primary endpoint, two groups of 325 patients are required for a p = 0.05 and 80% for a bilateral contrast of two independent proportions. Sub-analysis will be performed by subgroups of age (50-59 vs. 60-65 years) and another according to the mark of the 2 prostheses of each type most used. All statistical analyzes will be two-tailed with an alpha error of 0.05 to consider statistically significant data, and will be reviewed by IBIMA biostatistics.

Conclusions: A positive result (similar survival and prosthetic durability in group B, with lower complications) could change the current indications of AVS in our environment, allowing the age of indication of bioprostheses to be reduced below 60 years.

What is being measured

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

    Survival since surgery

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 17 years

  2. Late postoperative endpoint of 4 MACE complications

    All cause Mortality, major bleeding, cerebrovascular or transient ischemic accident, and need of any prosthesis reintervention (Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events, MACE)

    Total in-Hospital and Intensive Care Unit stay (in days)

    Measured: From date of surgery to discharge of the unit and Hospital, up to 6 months

  2. Cardiopulmonary bypass time in minutes needed in the surgery

    Cardiopulmonary bypass time in minutes needed in the surgery

    Measured: day 1 after surgery

  3. Cross-clamp ischemic heart time in minutes needed in the surgery

    Cross-clamp ischemic heart time in minutes needed in the surgery

    Measured: day 1 after surgery

  4. Transfusional requirements (number of red packed cells, fresh frozen plasma and platelets)

    transfusional needs in long term follow up

    Measured: rom date of surgery until the date of first documented transfusional requirement assessed up to 17 years

  5. Structural valve deterioration (SVD) in bioprosthesis

    increase in 20 mmHg in transaortic gradient since discharge echocardiography, any aortic regurgitation greater than moderate or need for bioprosthesis reoperation

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented SVD assessed up to 17 years

  6. Cardiovascular cause of rehospitalization

    any cardiovascular cause which need rehospitalization after surgery

    Measured: f first documented Cardiovascular cause of rehospitalization assessed up to 17 years

  7. Postsurgery Mean transprosthetic gradients in mmHg

    measured by the first echocardiography after surgery

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of Hospital Discharge, documented first Mean transprosthetic gradient in mmHg assessed by echocardiography after surgery.

  8. Late Mean transprosthetic gradients in mmHg

    measured by the last echocardiography in follow up

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of last documented echocardiography assessed up to 17 years

  9. Any prosthetic infective endocarditis

    definite diagnosis of early or late infective endocarditis

    Measured: From date of surgery until the date of first documented prosthetic infective endocarditis, assessed up to 17 years

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 participants alive (time frame: From date of surgery until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 17 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT03239509, 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?
