View clinical trials related to Symptomatic Aortic Stenosis.
Filter by:Aortic stenosis is one of the most common cardiology diseases. Trans aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has been developed since 2002, first to treat rejected patients from conventional surgery, then to treat high surgical risk patients and nowadays probably intermediate surgical risk patient. TAVI related complications are still recurrent and the investigators are searching a way to decrease them. One of them could be image fusion, since it may decrease radiation exposure and contrast agent use. It may also improve valve placement position leading to decreased complications. 40 prospective and consecutive patients will be included. Participants will be divided into two groups: the 20 first included will be control group, the 20 following patients will be the fusion group. For control group TAVI procedure will be the usual one, for fusion group the procedure will be the usual one with addition of computed tomography 3D images fusion with fluoroscopy 2D images. Main evaluation criteria will be radiation exposure, measured by dose area product (DAP). Secondary evaluation criterion will be procedural as contrast agent volume used, procedure duration, subjective usefulness of image fusion or procedure failure evaluated immediately after procedure. The investigators will also evaluated procedure induced complications as de novo pacemaker implantation, de novo left bundle branch, vascular complication, major bleeding, acute kidney failure, significant aortic regurgitation. These complications occurrence will be evaluated after 1 month follow up, during the usual following consultation.
The purpose of this clinical investigation is to evaluate the use of the Portico ALC Delivery System to place a transcatheter aortic valve through an alternative access site, specifically subclavian/axillary or TAo.
