  • left Ventricular Thrombus.
  • C-Severe primary associated disease of other valves or significant coronary artery disease with major contribution to the patient's symptoms that can be treated only by surgery.

About this study

Investigate the predictors of conduction abnormalities after TAVI, and in particular the predictive role of the tilt-angle during implantation.

Read the detailed description

The method of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) which was introduced in 2002 by Alain Cribier et al. has offered new prospects for patients with severe aortic stenosis and multiple comorbidities, for whom surgical procedures are associated with exceedingly high operative risk (1,2).

The randomized multicenter PARTNER trial (Placement of Aortic Transcatheter valve Trial) proved that TAVI is an alternative for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for high-risk patients.TAVI is characterized by similar mortality and results in terms of reducing the symptoms of stenosis (3).

Current recommendations by the European Society of Cardiology in the Guidelines on the management of valvular heart disease (4) are that TAVI should be carried out in patients with a life expectancy >1 year, who deemed inoperable or high-risk by a cardiac surgeon and who are likely to gain improvement in quality of life. (5).

One of the complications based on the consensus of experts (the Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 (VARC-2 criteria)) is Conduction defect (6).

The mechanical interaction of the prosthesis stent frame with the conduction system and left bundle branch may lead to a high degree of or complete AV block and to left bundle branch block (LBBB) after TAVI.(7)

The pathophysiology of new conduction abnormalities has not yet been elucidated. A number of studies indicate that both patient and procedure related factors such as septal wall thickness, non-coronary cusp thickness, pre-existing RBBB, depth of valve implantation within the LVOT, post implant prosthesis expansion, and the type of prosthesis play a role , LVOT/ annulus ratio, LVOT/Prosethesis diameter..(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing transcatheter aortic valve implantation in people with TAVI, run by Assiut University.

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 7 inclusion and 13 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Sep 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Dina Moubasher, Msc (01069188810, dinatantash@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

TILT ANGLE (time frame: 1 year). 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 Sep 2019.
