About this study

Official title: Systematic Assessment of Invasive Versus Echocardiography-derived Transprosthetic Gradients After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Using Balloon-expandable Transcatheter Heart Valves: the IVEGA-TAVI Study.

The aim of this prospective registry is to compare invasive versus echocardiography-derived transvalvular gradients before and after TAVI with balloon-expandable THVs.All patients will undergo a transthoracic echocardiogram in the operating room prior to aortic valve implantation. In addition, two catheters (one in the ventricle and one in the aorta) will be used to invasively measure the transvalvular gradient both before and after aortic valve implantation. The invasive measurements will be performed in different positions of the ventricle and aorta simultaneously. At the end of the procedure, aortic gradient measurement by echocardiography shall be performed again. A maximal three months follow-up is expected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of AORTIC VALVE DISEASES and Aortic Stenosis, run by Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen 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 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: enrolling by invitation, as of the sponsor's last update on 31 Dec 2024. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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?

To compare transvalvular echocardiographic aortic mean vs. invasive aortic mean gradient after TAVI. (time frame: From enrollment to 3 months). 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 NCT06753227, which also lists 5 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 31 Dec 2024.
