About this study

Official title: Leaflet Thickening and Stent Geometry in Sutureless Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves

A single-center prospective interventional trial. Patients implanted with a sutureless bioprosthetic aortic valve at Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden from 2012 will be eligible. 4-dimensional volume-rendered computed tomography (CT) of the heart will be performed. The aim of the CT is to assess valve geometry and hypo-atrenuated leaflet thickening. Results of the CT examination, preoperative clinical characteristics, and postoperative clinical data will be registered. Data will be collected prospectively and retrospectively. Informed consent will be obtained from patients meeting the inclusion criteria before the initiation of any study-specific procedures.

What is being measured

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

  1. Regional expansion of valve prosthesis

    Regional expansion measured using the angle formed by the border of each prosthetic leaflet and the centre point of the valve

    Measured: At CT performed once no less than 30 days and up to 10 years after aortic valve replacement

  2. Overall expansion of valve prosthesis

    Overall expansion of the implanted prosthesis calculated as the ratio between the ex vivo cross-sectional area and the in vitro cross-sectional area of the implanted valve

    Measured: At CT performed once no less than 30 days and up to 10 years after aortic valve replacement

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Eccentricity of valve prosthesis

    Eccentricity of the implanted prosthesis calculated as ([max diameter-min diameter]/max diameter)×100

    Measured: At CT performed once no less than 30 days and up to 10 years after aortic valve replacement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4-dimensional volume-rendered computed tomography in people with Aortic Valve Stenosis and Heart Valve Diseases, run by Karolinska University Hospital at 1 site in Sweden.

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 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 28 Nov 2018. 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 Sweden. 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?

Regional expansion of valve prosthesis (time frame: At CT performed once no less than 30 days and up to 10 years after aortic valve replacement). 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 NCT03753126, 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 28 Nov 2018.
