Fast Track Concept for Transfemoral TAVI

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

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.

Clinical Trial 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. ;

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.
