Trial summary

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is valuable treatment option for patients, who are at the high risk of surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Majority of procedures are performed through femoral arteries, however in some this access cannot be applied. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Clinical Outcomes of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Through Common Carotid Artery Access in Polish Population - Observational Multicenter Registry

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is valuable treatment option for patients, who are at the high risk of surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Majority of procedures are performed through femoral arteries, however in some this access cannot be applied. Common carotid artery is one of the alternative routes of delivering the device in those patients. Established registry aims at collecting the data prospectively to assess outcomes of TAVI through common carotid artery.

Read the detailed description

The study is a prospective multicenter evaluation of transcatheter aortic valve implantations through common carotid artery in Polish health centers.

Duration of this study is expected to be 6 years to ensure that all of the enrolled patients will complete at least 2 years of follow-up.

Being tested
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
Keywords
TAVI, common carotid artery
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. VARC (Valve Academic Research Consortium-2) defined "Clinical Efficacy" composite endpoint

    • All-cause mortality
    • All stroke (disabling and non-disabling)
    • Requiring hospitalizations for valve-related symptoms or worsening congestive heart failure
    • NYHA (New York Heart Association) class III or IV functional classification of heart failure
    • Valve-related dysfunction (mean aortic valve gradient ≥20 mmHg, Effective Orifice Area (EOA) ≤0.9-1.1 cm2(c) and/or Doppler Velocity Integral (DVI) <0. 35 m/s, AND/OR moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation

    Measured: From 30 days post procedure to completion of at least 2 years of follow up

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. VARC defined 'Device success' composite endpoint

    • Absence of procedural mortality AND
    • Correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location AND
    • Intended performance of the prosthetic heart valve (no prosthesis - patient mismatch and mean aortic valve gradient ,20 mmHg or peak velocity ,3 m/s, AND no moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation)

    Measured: 30 days

  2. VARC defined "Early Safety" composite endpoint

    • All-cause mortality
    • All stroke (disabling and non-disabling)
    • Life-threatening bleeding
    • Acute kidney injury-Stage 2 or 3 (including renal replacement therapy)
    • Coronary artery obstruction requiring intervention
    • Major vascular complication
    • Valve-related dysfunction requiring repeat procedure (Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty (BAV), Trans Catheter Aortic Valve Implant (TAVI), or Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement (SAVR))

    Measured: 30 days

  3. VARC defined "Time-related valve safety" composite endpoint

    • Structural valve deterioration
    • Valve-related dysfunction (mean aortic valve gradient ≥20 mmHg, EOA ≤0.9-1.1 cm2cand/or DVI <0.35 m/s, AND/OR moderate or severe prosthetic valve regurgitation)
    • Requiring repeat procedure (TAVI or SAVR)
    • Prosthetic valve endocarditis
    • Prosthetic valve thrombosis
    • Thrombo-embolic events (e.g. stroke)
    • VARC bleeding, unless clearly unrelated to valve therapy (e.g. trauma)

    Measured: From device implant to completion of at least 2 years of follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis and Ventricular Outflow Obstruction, Left, run by Medical University of Warsaw at 6 sites in Poland.

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 2 inclusion and 0 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Oct 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Poland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kajetan Grodecki (+48660675782, kajetan.grodecki@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

VARC (Valve Academic Research Consortium-2) defined "Clinical Efficacy" composite endpoint (time frame: From 30 days post procedure to completion of at least 2 years of follow up). 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 NCT03361007, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 22 Oct 2020.
