Clinical Trial Summary

New onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) is a relatively frequent complication after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). This complication has been related with worse short and long-term outcomes, including higher stroke, mortality, readmission and bleeding rates. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of amiodarone in the prevention of the NOAF after TAVI.

The study is a multicenter, randomized double-blinded trial including 120 patients without prior AF that will undergo TAVI in a scheduled basis. Patients will be randomized to be treated with amiodarone orally from 6 days before to 6 days after the TAVI procedure versus placebo.

All the patients will be monitored with a 60-day holter to evaluate NOAF incidence. The main objective is NOAF incidence after TAVI at 30-day. Secondary endpoints are the incidence of NOAF, stroke, bleeding and all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in both groups at 60-day. Results of this study can contribute to optimize TAVI results in a short and long term, potentially improving the survival and quality of life in this group of frail patients with comorbidities, which makes them vulnerable to NOAF, stroke, bleeding, heart failure and readmission.
