About this study

Official title: Feasibility of a Fast Track Concept for Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Based on Individualized Low-dose Analgosedation and Preprocedural Fluid Optimization Using Echocardiography.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in high-risk patients with severe aortic valve stenosis has developed itself until today as an established minimally invasive alternative procedure worldwide, with a focus on the transfemoral access (TF-TAVI). Meanwhile a number of studies have shown that analgosedation for patients undergoing TF-TAVI is a safe and feasible alternative to general anaesthesia (1). The median length of stay in hospital in Europe is currently 8 days independent to the anesthesia management (2). In the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein, Campus Kiel, a new TF-TAVI fast-track-concept has been implemented in June 2018. The main intraprocedural aspects of the concept are the preprocedural fluid optimization using transthoracic echocardiography, the idea to decrease or omit the central venous line and the urinary catheter, if reasonable, and finally the individualized low-dose, bolus-based AS.

Read the detailed description

The investigators are going to monitor 200 patients in 2019 treated with the newly established fast-track concept. During the premedication visit, the investigators informed the patients that the intention is to perform the TF-TAVI, if acceptable, solely in local anaesthesia, in order to minimize potentially adverse pharmacological central effects by analgosedation. After insertion of two peripheral venous lines and an arterial line, monitoring of cerebral oxygenation using near-infrared spectroscopy was established. Transthoracic echocardiography has been performed to evaluate volume status, using the inferior vena cava collapsibility index. Additionally, cardiac output and ejection fraction was calculated.

Based on the data of the investigators and current data from the literature, the investigators assume a postoperative hospital stay of 8 days after TF-TAVI. With a possible reduction of the hospital stay by about 25%, the investigators calculated a case number of 100 patients per group. The study is designed with a control group under standard therapy. Data are recorded and analyzed descriptively. Qualitative comparisons will be made in the discussion of previously published data.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Valve Diseases and Complication,Postoperative, run by University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein at 1 site 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2021. 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 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?

length of stay in hospital (time frame: through study completion, an average of 1 year). 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 NCT04792827, 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 11 Mar 2021.
