About this study

Official title: Aortic Valve Reconstruction Using Autologous Pericardium: Single Center Experience With the OZAKI Technique

The aim of this study is to analyse the short-term results of the first patients undergoing the OZAKI procedure (Aortic valve reconstruction using autologous pericardial tissue) at the department of cardiac surgery/ University Hospital Basel/ Switzerland.

Read the detailed description

The reconstruction of the aortic valve using autologous pericardium, applying the technique Ozaki et al., published first in 2011 provides potential benefits due to the missing necessity of oral anticoagulation and its use in patients with small aortic annuli, because of the huge orifice area. There is a need of more data to evaluate the significance of this technique in the treatment of aortic valve stenosis and regurgitation. The department of cardiac surgery/ University Hospital Basel/ Switzerland started to use this technique in September 2015. The aim of this study is to analyse the short-term results of the first patients undergoing the OZAKI procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in aortic transvalvular gradient measured by transthoracic echocardiography

    Change in aortic transvalvular gradient ( to analyze aortic valve stenosis or insufficiency) measured by transthoracic echocardiography

    Measured: From Baseline (end of cardiac surgery) until 12 months after cardiac surgery

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. occurence of death

    Change in clinical Parameter: death

    Measured: From Baseline (end of cardiac surgery) until 12 months after cardiac surgery

  2. occurence of cardiac re-surgery

    Change in clinical parameter: cardiac re-surgery

    Measured: From Baseline (end of cardiac surgery) until 12 months after cardiac surgery

  3. occurence of stroke

    Change in clinical parameter: stroke

    Measured: From Baseline (end of cardiac surgery) until 12 months after cardiac surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Disease, run by University Hospital, Basel, Switzerland at 1 site in Switzerland.

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 13 Jun 2019. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Change in aortic transvalvular gradient measured by transthoracic echocardiography (time frame: From Baseline (end of cardiac surgery) until 12 months after cardiac surgery). 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 NCT03677804, 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 13 Jun 2019.
