Trial summary

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) at high to intermediate surgical risk. Despite similar mortality rates compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in this setting, the rate para-valvular leak (PVL) remains higher and has been… Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: All patients who underwent TAVI with any of the previously explained self-expandable devices in the participating institutions and have at least one transthoracic echocardiography after TAVI procedure will be included. Main baseline and procedural characteristics as well as in-hospital outcomes will be drawn from the prospective database available at each institution. Echocardiographic exams will be centrally analysed by two independent operators blinded to the TAVI device and the clinical outcomes as well as to any clinical information of the patients. Subjects treated with each device will be matched with patients who had undergone transcatheter aortic valve implantation with the alternative devices and clinical and echocardiographic variables will be compared. The final matching will be performed by random sampling without replacement.

Who may be able to join

  • All patients diagnosed with aortic stenosis (effective aortic<1.0 cm2) accepted for a TAVI procedure by the Heart Team.
  • Implantation of Sapien-3 transfemoral valve or Myval transfemoral prosthesis.
  • Availability of the variables selected for the matching process: Left ventricular ejection fraction, aortic annulus diameter and area, eccentricity index, and calcium score (all measured using computed tomography), body surface area, and body mass index.
  • Availability of imaging studies at baseline and at discharge or 30-day follow up.

Who cannot join

  • Failure to comply with matching criteria.
  • Failure to properly analyse images in the echo core-lab.

About this study

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) at high to intermediate surgical risk. Despite similar mortality rates compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in this setting, the rate para-valvular leak (PVL) remains higher and has been associated to higher mortality even at mild degree. This is one of the major concerns to extend TAVI to low surgical risk, although the favorable results from PARTNER 3.

The presence of moderate to severe PVL after TAVI is associated to a 2- and 3- fold increase in the mortality rate at 30-day and 1-year follow-up, respectively (24-29).

Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) adversely affects functional improvement and exercise tolerance, left ventricular (LV) mass regression, and late structural valve deterioration. Many studies have previously investigated PPM after surgical AVR suggesting the presence of this problem in more than 40% of the surgically treated patients. This rate was significantly lower with the balloon-expandable Sapien (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California), with PPM that varied from 8% to 18%, but in both cases (patients harboring TAVI and those with SAVR) the mortality rate was higher in the presence of PPM.

Under the hypothesis that there are differences in terms of transvalvular gradients and residual para-valvular leak amongst different balloon-expandable TAVI devices available in the market, the aim of the MATCH-BALL study is to compare the hemodynamic performance of two balloon-expandable TAVI devices, Sapien 3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) and Myval (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., India).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Mean transvalvular gradients

    Mean Gradients measured in doppler echography are calculated based on the mean velocity of the tracing. The velocities are converted to pressure gradients using the Bernoulli equation.

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Aortic valve area

    Echography measured Aortic valve area

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Aortic valve perivalvular leak

    Echography measured perivalvular leak

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Aortic valve central leak

    Echography measured central leak

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Aortic valve global leak

    Echography measured global leak

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. Cardiovascular mortality rate

    Measured: 30 days

  2. All-cause mortality rate

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Myocardial infarction rate

    Measured: 30 days

  4. Bleeding complications rate

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Acute kidney injury rate

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Vascular complications rate

    Measured: 30 days

  7. Conduction disorder rate

    Measured: 30 days

  8. Re-hospitalization rate

    Measured: 30 days

  9. Need for permanent pacemaker rate

    Measured: 30 days

  10. New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis and Aortic Valve Regurgitation, run by Ignacio J. Amat Santos at 6 sites in 2 countries.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 28 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 6 sites in Italy, Spain. 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.

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?

Mean transvalvular gradients (time frame: 30 days). The study lists 5 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 28 Jan 2021.
