Comparison of Transaxillary & Transfemoral Fully-percutaneous Approaches

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Retrospective, observational study to compare the outcomes of patient receiving TAVI through transfemoral and transaxillary fully percutaneous approach adjusting for main baseline differences.

Clinical Trial Description

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most frequently treated heart valve disease in our society. Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) was originally described through an antegrade transeptal route by Cribier and colleagues in 2002. Because of the complexity of the procedure and risks of damaging the mitral apparatus, this approach was abandoned in favor of less challenging alternatives, with transfemoral (TF) route as primary option. Nevertheless, the TF approach is not feasible or of high risk in between 15 and 35% of the patients and vascular complications have been shown to be an independent predictor of death warranting alternative access techniques for TAVI. In this regard, the transapical, direct aortic, transcarotid, transcaval, and transubclavian/transaxillary (TSc) implantation routes currently serve as alternative access options. The TSc approach was initially used in selected cases. However, recent series suggest that TSc may provide better outcomes than alternative routes when TF is inadequate. Additionally, same studies suggest that, as compared to TF approach, TSc TAVI may present lower rate of vascular complications with comparable rates of other major outcomes despite the worse baseline profile of patients who are considered inappropriate for TF procedures. Moreover, fully-percutaneous TSc approach can be successfully performed with low rate of complications as was recently proposed by some authors. However, comparisons have been based in small series of cases, most of them with former iteration of TAVI devices, and a formal prospective comparison has never been performed. Therefore, our aim is to gather all cases of fully-percutaneous TSc and TF approaches for TAVI in Spain and Portugal and compare the standardized safety and efficacy endpoints through a matched analysis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
