Comparison of Procedural Sedation With Propofol and Dexmedetomidine During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
A Phase 4 study testing Propofol and Dexmedetomidine in people with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Procedural Sedation, run by University Medical Centre Ljubljana at 1 site in Slovenia.
Trial summary
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease in the developed world, affecting 3,9% of population over 70 years of age. If untreated it carries a poor prognosis, leading to heart failure and death in 2 years after first symptom presentation. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Comparison of Procedural Sedation With Propofol and Dexmedetomidine During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation Using the Transfemoral Approach: Randomized Double Blind Prospective Study
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valvular heart disease in the developed world, affecting 3,9% of population over 70 years of age. If untreated it carries a poor prognosis, leading to heart failure and death in 2 years after first symptom presentation. Treatment of choice for severe aortic stenosis is surgical aortic valve replacement. A new treatment option for severe aortic stenosis emerged in the last decade - Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). This minimally invasive method was formerly reserved for high risk patients deemed unfit for surgical aortic valve replacement. Increasing use throughout the developed world and recent studies have established TAVR as a safe and viable treatment option also for intermediate-risk patients. TAVR not only enables a less aggressive surgical approach, but also a less invasive type of anaesthesia. Anaesthesiologists are trying to modify the type of anaesthesia in the way of minimally invasive approach, aiming to improve the overall outcome.
TAVR can be performed under general anaesthesia or procedural sedation (PS). From the start, TAVR was performed solely under general anaesthesia. Over time the procedure became routine and the anaesthesiologists started to commonly decide for PS. Many US and European retrospective studies have established PS to be a safe and compelling method of anaesthetic care for TAVR procedures with a favorable perioperative course, less complications, shorter intensive care unit and in-hospital stay and lower early mortality, when performed by an experienced anaesthesia team. There are many anaesthesia agents currently accepted for PS in everyday anaesthesia practice. Presently, reliable data from studies comparing different agents for PS for TAVR procedures is scarce. Most of it comes from retrospective nonrandomized trials. Propofol is a popular anaesthetic agent for PS. According to current studies, it is a safe anaesthetic agent with favorable pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles with quite low incidence of side effects. In recent years, dexmedetomidine has been commonly used for PS having analgesic properties inclusive of its anaesthetic properties. In addition, dexmedetomidine is associated with a lesser degree of respiratory depression as to other anaesthetic agents. Patient comfort is also believed to be improved with dexmedetomidine. Studies comparing outcomes of PS with propofol versus dexmedetomidine for different non-cardiac and interventional procedures showed benefits of dexmedetomidine, owing to its analgesic properties and preferable respiratory parameters.
The aim of this study is to compare the outcome of patients undergoing TAVR under PS with dexmedetomidine against those undergoing TAVR under PS with propofol. With the results the investigators aim to aid in defining the optimal anaesthetic agent for PS for TAVR and possibly other interventional cardiology procedures.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Effect of procedural sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine on cognitive function of patients
The investigators will perform cognitive function testing (Mini-Mental State Examination Test) one day before the procedure (baseline result) and 48 hours after the procedure (assesing change from baseline result)
Measured: 3 days
Effect of procedural sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine on appearance of postoperative delirium
The investigators will perform CAM-ICU delirium assesment method every 12 hours for 84 hours after the procedure, assesing appearance of postoperative delirium in the first 84 hours after the procedure
Measured: 84 hours

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?
Effect of procedural sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine on cognitive function of patients (time frame: 3 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 May 2023.
