About this study
Structural valve dysfunction (SVD) is the most common and life threatening complication in patients treated by aortic valve replacement. A calcification process is frequently involved in SVD but its pathophysiology remains unclear. In the hypothesis of an active metabolic phenomenon of calcification, as previously shown in native aortic valve stenosis, rather than a passive deposit of calcium in valve tissue, positon emission tomography (PET) imaging with 18F-Fluoride could emphasize increased osteoblastic activity in SVD tissue.
This study will include patients with echocardiography-confirmed SVD. Echocardiographic parameters and other current parameters analyzed in SVD patients such as bioprosthesis calcium scoring derived from CT will be compared to 18F-Fluoride activity.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
18F-Fluoride activity
18F-Fluoride activity in valvular tissue will be determined by a tissue to bloodpool ratio of SUV (TBR). Patients will be divided in two groups : moderate SVD (EOA ≥ 0.8 and ≤ 1.2 cm²), and severe SVD (EOA ≤ 0.8 cm²), and TBR will be compared between the two groups, determined at time of inclusion.
Measured: The day of the inclusion
Secondary outcomes (2)
TBR in 18F-FDG
TBR in 18F-FDG will be compared between the two groups to analyze the inflammatory activity part in the SVD process
Measured: 6 months
Both 18F-Fluoride and 18F-FDG TBR correlation
Both 18F-Fluoride and 18F-FDG TBR will be correlated with bioprosthesis calcium scoring and the following echocardiographic bioprosthesis function parameters : aortic regurgitation grade (none, trace, mild, moderate, severe) ; trans-valvular maximal velocity (m/s) ; mean trans-valvular gradient (mm Hg) ; EOA (cm²) ; visual echographic degenerescence score.
Measured: 6 months

A Phase 4 study testing 18F-Fluoride PET-CT ; CT calcium scoring ; 18F-FDG PET-CT in people with Aortic Bioprosthesis Structural Valve Dysfunction, run by Nantes University Hospital at 1 site in France.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
18F-Fluoride activity (time frame: The day of the inclusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Jan 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
