Trial summary

Calcified aortic stenosis is the most frequent valvulopathy in Europe and North America. Aortic stenosis is an obstacle to the ejection of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and leads to morphological changes in the left ventricle and hemodynamic modifications. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Ventriculo-arterial Coupling Modification Evaluated by PRAM (Pressure Recording Analytical Method) in the Aortic Stenosis Treated by TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation)

Calcified aortic stenosis is the most frequent valvulopathy in Europe and North America. Aortic stenosis is an obstacle to the ejection of blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and leads to morphological changes in the left ventricle and hemodynamic modifications.

Intrinsic ventricular performance can be characterized using three parameters:

  • Ventricular elastance (Ees for End Systolic Elastance) which represents the index of ventricular contractility independently of the load.
  • Arterial elastance (Ea for Arterial Elastance) which represents the post-load
  • The ventriculo-arterial coupling index (Ees / Ea) which represents energy efficiency.

For patients with high surgical risk (EuroSCORE II> 6), TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) is recommended for aortic valve replacement. Many complications may occur after TAVI (haemorrhagic, embolic, renal, myocardial ischemia). Post-TAVI complications may also be cardiac decompensation of the underlying cardiac disease to cardiogenic shock. However, literature on left ventricular performance after aortic valvular replacement is poor because of the difficulty and invasiveness of the analysis involved.

Cardiac energy analysis plays an additional role in understanding the clinical patients conditions. On this point, cardiac energy modifications, based on ventriculo-arterial coupling, could be indicators of cardiac function. Two methods (ultrasound and pulse contour) are used to understand and explore the ventriculo-arterial coupling, preload, postload, contractility and hemodynamic changes interactions.

Echocardiography allows the Ees / Ea and SW / PVA (Stoke work/ pressure-volume area) ratios mesurements. PRAM (Pressure Recording Analytical Method) through the MostCare® monitor, gives common hemodynamic parameters and more specific parameters such as arterial elastance (Ea) cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE), dP / dt. Cardiac cycle efficiency (CCE) is an exclusive variable that describes the hemodynamic performance in terms of energy expenditure in the patient being followed.

TAVI procedure is an acute model of ventriculo-arterial coupling modification by treatment of the ventricular ejection obstacle. The PRAM method evaluates the ventriculo-arterial coupling. The aim of our study is to evaluate by PRAM the changes in cardiac energy variables before and after aortic valve replacement by TAVI

What is being measured

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

  1. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) impact on cardiac energy performance

    Mesurement of the cardiac cycle efficency (CCE) by PRAM method (Pressure Recording Analytical Method)

    Measured: Change from baseline CCE at 30 minutes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Echocardiographic cardiac energy performance modification after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

    Echocardiography explorations (end diastolic diameter, end systolic diameter, diastolic wall thickness, systolic wall thickness, end diastolic volume, end systolic volume, percent fractional shortening, percent ejection fraction)

    Measured: Change from baseline at 24 hours after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

  2. Myocardial ischemia risk

    Buffington index (calculated as : mean arterial pressure / heart rate)

    Measured: Change from baseline at 24 hours after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

  3. Myocardial ischemia

    Serum troponin level

    Measured: Change from baseline at 24 hours after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis and Ventricular Dysfunction, Left, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France 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 4 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 29 Dec 2017. 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.

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 Caroline FRITZ, MD (+33383157379, c.fritz@chru-nancy.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) impact on cardiac energy performance (time frame: Change from baseline CCE at 30 minutes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Dec 2017.
