About this study

Official title: Correlation of FFR and iFR With Cardiac PET Perfusion (at Rest and Under Adenosine) in the Evaluation of Intermediate Coronary Stenoses in Patients With Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis

Aortic valve stenosis (AS) affects 2-7% of persons > 65 years, symptoms include: angina and dyspnea, dizziness and syncope. Coincidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), also presenting with angina and dyspnea, in patients with AS between 40 - 65% . Angina in AS caused by significant reduction of coronary flow reserve (CFR). CFR is the ratio of maximal flow increase in the coronary vessel bed during maximal hyperaemia (medically or exercise induced). FFR (fractional flow reserve) use in patients with AS potentially invalid due to dysfunctional CFR leading to potential undertreatment of CAD in these patients.CFR disturbance in AS mainly due to myocardial overload causing concentric hypertrophy, increased oxygen consumption and neurohormonal activation leading to increased vascular resistance. Current studies are investigating the validity of FFR and iFR in AS patients. Recent data demonstrate very good correlation between FFR and iFR derived values to PET myocardial perfusion imaging values in patients with no evidence of AS. Our study aims to investigate the diagnostic performance of FFR and iFR in intermediate-grade coronary stenosis in patients with severe aortic valve disease and correlate FFR- and iFR derived values with those extracted from PET-perfusion Imaging.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Stenosis and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Heart and Diabetes Center North-Rhine Westfalia at 1 site in Germany.

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 6 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Nov 2024. 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 Germany. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Tanja Rudolph, MD (+495731971258, trudolph@hdz-nrw.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation of PET-CT Prior to TAVI and 3 months after TAVI procedure (time frame: 3 months). 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 26 Nov 2024.
