About this study

Official title: The Impact of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation on Left Ventricular Structure, Function and Outcome in Patients With Aortic Stenosis

A prospective study of 600 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and symptoms who underwent TAVI at the Haukeland university hospital, Bergen, Norway.

Read the detailed description

A prospective study of 600 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and symptoms who underwent TAVI at the Haukeland university hospital, Bergen, Norway between January 2012 and July 2019.

Demographics, clinical data including cardiovascular risk factors, arterial and echocardiographic parameters were prospectively collected. The data on all-cause mortality will be collected. Echocardiograms (immediate before TAVI, at discharge after TAVI and at 6-12 months follow-up) will be analyzed. The main scientific objectives are:

To assess survival benefits of TAVI according to baseline risk profile. To determine the echocardiographic predictors of left ventricular mass regression and left ventricular function recovery.

To evaluate global LV load (Zva=valvular-arterial impedance) following TAVI. To assess the impact of various types of blood pressure responses immediately after TAVI on clinical outcomes.

What is being measured

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

  1. The impact of TAVI on all-cause mortality

    To assess the long-term survival benefits of TAVI

    Measured: From January 2012 to Mai 2020 (date for assesment vital status) + prolonged follow-up (up to 10 years)

  2. The impact of TAVI on left ventriclar mass and hypertrophy regression

    To assess whether removal of valve stenosis by TAVI leads to regression of left ventricular mass (grams).

    Measured: From January 2012 to follow-up echo (6-12 months following TAVI)

  3. The impact of TAVI on left ventricular function recovery

    To assess improvement in systolic function (increase in ejection fraction) following TAVI

    Measured: From January 2012 to to follow-up echo (6-12 months following TAVI)

  4. The impact of TAVI on arterial load (systemic arterial stiffness and arterial compliance).

    To assess improvement in echocardiographic arterial stiffness and arterial compliance and global left ventricular load (Zva=valvular-arterial impedance) following TAVI.

    Measured: From January 2012 to to follow-up echo (6-12 months following TAVI)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Stenosis and Hypertension, run by Haukeland University Hospital.

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 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

The impact of TAVI on all-cause mortality (time frame: From January 2012 to Mai 2020 (date for assesment vital status) + prolonged follow-up (up to 10 years)). 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 NCT04417829, which also lists 2 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 Sep 2023.
