About this study

Official title: Three Dimensional Ultrasound Guided Femoral Access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Rationale: Bleeding and vascular complications of the femoral artery still account for significant morbidity and mortality in transcatheter aortic valve implantation procedures. Although steadily declining over the past years through smaller diameter devices and use of ultrasound, major complications still occur in 3-4 % of patients. Femoral access is often obtained using 2D US guidance already. New 3D US probes can aid in increasing anatomical awareness. This can improve first pass success during procedures. Furthermore, for new closure devices, entering the artery at a straight angle at precisely 12 o'clock probably reduces complications. Therefore, the investigators hypothesize improved real time needle guidance using three dimensional ultrasound can decrease procedure related complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. first pass success

    successful entry in femoral artery within one skinbreak and without needle redirections

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. imaging time

    time from putting probe on skin to start procedure (in seconds)

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  2. procedure time

    time from puncturing skin until entry in femoral artery (in seconds)

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  3. total number of punctures

    new skin breaks needed for completion of procedure

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  4. number of needle redirections

    total number of needle withdrawals >5mm but without needing new skin puncture

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  5. 12 o clock entry

    entrance to femoral artery at exactly 12 o clock (antero-medial)

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  6. needle visualization

    rated from good-adequate-poor

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

  7. operator satisfaction

    likert scale 1-5 with 1 no satisfaction and 5 completely satisfied

    Measured: during procedure/surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D US and 2D US in people with Ultrasound Therapy; Complications and Femoral Artery Injury, run by Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 31 Dec 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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 Harm Scholten, MD (0031402398500 ext. 2211, harm.scholten@cze.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

first pass success (time frame: during procedure/surgery). 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 31 Dec 2020.
