About this study

Prospective, multicenter registry in patients undergoing commercially available balloon expandable valve implantation. The registry will consist of 3 phases:

Prospective determination of baseline Status Quo (3 months):

Read more

Documentation of treatment pathways and endpoints of "routine" patients without educational program

Dedicated reflection and training (1 day):

One training session after the observational period to reflect on treatment pathways, exchange between valve coordinators involved, and develop improvements.

Implementation of tailored changes (2 months):

Implementation of the changes developed in the training.

Determination of the effect (3 months):

Coordinator measures optimization changes and determines effects.

Read the detailed description

Along the severe aortic stenosis (sAS) treatment pathway there are delays that may impact quality management and hospital efficiency. A dedicated valve coordinator, interfering with all stages of patient handling throughout the hospital may increase the efficiency of the sAS patient flow, accelerate decision making and clinical outcomes while at the same time decreasing resource consumption.

The hypothesis is that the implementation of a dedicated valve coordinator will improve the patient flow of sAS patients scheduled to undergo TAVI, their outcome, patient and physician satisfaction and will optimize costs.

In total, three centers across Germany (Munich, Düsseldorf, Bad Bevensen) will participate.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CoordinatorOther

    A THV coordinator will be responsible for communication with the patients and the caregivers as well as for monitoring medical documentation and treatment pathways. The registry will consist of 3 phases:

    • Determination of the status quo
    • Dedicated reflection and training followed by implementation of tailored changes
    • Determination of the effect

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of differences in length of stay (LoS)

    LoS in days.

    Measured: 12 months

  2. Adverse event rate

    According to VARC-2 criteria.

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Patient satisfaction

    Satisfaction score. The total score range is from 0 (extremely dissatisfied) to 40 (extremley satisfied).

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Economic evaluation

    Proportion of early discharges in patients with sAS undergoing TAVI.

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis, run by Institut für Pharmakologie und Präventive Medizin at 3 sites in Germany.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 May 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Germany. 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?

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?

Evaluation of differences in length of stay (LoS) (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 4 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 NCT03570190, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 May 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
