Filter by:The goal of this phase IV, randomized, controlled and open-label study is to assess the efficacy of peri-procedure glucocorticoid treatment in the prevention of conduction abnormalities and the need for pacemaker implantation in patients undergoing transaortic valve replacement compared to placebo. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a single dose of intravenous Methylprednisolone 7 mg/kg/day on the day of the procedure (1 hour before), followed by 15 mg/12 hours of daily Prednisone for 5 days. The primary endpoint is a composite of permanent pacemaker implantation and the occurrence of new conduction abnormalities (any-degree AV block, bundle branch block, or non-specific intraventricular conduction disorder) at discharge, at 30 days and 1 year.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and performance of the F2 device for cerebral embolic protection in participants with symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing a Transcatheter Aortic Valve replacement procedure.
The purpose of the Long term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (LOCATE) Registry is to perform long-term ambulatory monitoring of patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and develop new onset conduction system abnormalities post-procedure that do not require urgent permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the incidence of late onset heart block necessitating PPM implantation and to evaluate the incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) following TAVI. This study aims to provide valuable insights into the long-term cardiac health of TAVI patients and inform the development of improved treatment strategies for aortic stenosis patients with conduction system abnormalities.
The goal of this observational study is to understand the processes of what causes and accelerates the disease progress in aortic stenosis and following aortic valve replacement. Participants will undergo transthoracic echocardiography every 6 months, with annual visits for state-of-the-art scanning techniques including positron-emission tomography combined with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging with radiotracers designed to look at disease processes including fibrosis, calcification, inflammation and thrombosis activity.
Calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) is a disease characterized by progressive calcification of the aortic valve, obstructing the passage of blood from the left ventricle into the general circulation. It is the most frequent cause of valve disease in the elderly. To date, no means of preventing the disease has been discovered, and the only treatment available is valve replacement during cardiac surgery, or percutaneous implantation of a valve prosthesis when the narrowing becomes severe and causes symptoms. The intestinal flora or microbiota, the reservoir of all the microorganisms in the gut, is implicated in numerous diseases, particularly of the intestine. But to date, no study has established a link between CAS and microbiota. The intestinal microbiota acts through molecules produced by itself or the host and passing into the bloodstream. In the pathophysiology of CAS, the valve leaflets are breached and do not heal. These molecules can enter and have beneficial or deleterious effects, in particular promoting calcification of aortic valve cells. Concrete objectives: Improve understanding of calcific aortic stenosis in humans Study the composition of intestinal flora in patients with aortic stenosis and compare it with healthy subjects Study the molecules in the intestinal flora likely to be involved in the development of aortic stenosis in humans.
This study aimed at comparing the performance of self-expandable valves versus balloon-expandable valves in patients with ascending aortic dilation undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
Evaluation of the safety and performance of the Navitor TAVI System in a Global Study
Aspirin group: Aspirin 100mg will be started within 24 hours after randomization, and continued aspirin 100mg/day the end of the study period. Non-antithrombotic group: No antithrombotic agents will be administered after randomization until the end of the study period.
Background Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a risky procedure, performed in patients that can also be considered at risk of developing complications. The use of HFNO could be justified in this context and could improve the results and safety of these procedures. The use of HFNO during sedation for TAVR could increase oxygen content and minimise hypercapnia, which occurs frequently. This may have 2 potential benefits: one in terms of facilitating the patient's tolerance to anaesthetic sedation; and the other to optimise oxygen delivery to organs such as the brain, kidneys, and myocardium. Primary aim The number of oxygen desaturation episodes. An oxygen desaturation episode is defined as any episode of Sp02 <93% for more than 10 seconds. Method A single-center prospective randomised controlled clinical trial with 132 individuals comparing the use of High Flow Nasal oxygen (intervention group) with the conventional standard of care oxygenation with nasal cannula standard oxygenation (control group) of patients undergoing sedation for transfemoral TAVR. The randomisation process will be carried out with a 1:1 assignment, using the RedCap Clínic tool for this purpose. Both groups will be treated at the same centre and by the same interventional cardiology and anaesthesia team. Sedation regime will be based on Target controlled infusion (TCI) with propofol and remifentanil. Local anaesthesia will be infiltrated by interventional cardiologist prior obtaining femoral vascular access. 50 L/min with 0.6% FiO2 will be administered through a high-flow nasal cannula in the intervention group. In the control group, oxygen therapy will also be administered in all cases, using the usual procedure: oxygen therapy through a conventional nasal cannula and at a flow of 5 L/min.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and performance of the F2 device for cerebral embolic protection in participants with symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing a Transcatheter Aortic Valve replacement procedure. Participants will complete several neurocognitive assessments and an MRI procedure.
