About this study

Official title: Gender-specific Temporal Trends in Survival in Patients With Severe Aortic Stenosis Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation.

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is the commonest form of valvular abnormality in the developed world and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now widely practiced as in many cases is the preferred treatment option over conventional aortic surgery. Several studies have shown that females have an apparent better outcome with TAVI than males.

There are a number of possible reasons as to the apparent favourable benefit of TAVI in women including: having both lower rates of moderate / severe aortic regurgitation and peri-procedural mortality, lower rates of bleeding and renal failure, better patient prosthesis match and recovery of left ventricular function with more favourable left ventricular remodelling.

We aim to explore the long term outcomes of TAVI between males and females to try and identify specific tailored treatment options.

This data will be useful in providing important information regarding gender differences in patients who are treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Data provided will include long term outcomes and predictors of outcome.

The study team will then identify and implement strategies to improve outcomes in patients being treated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation.

Read the detailed description

Severe aortic stenosis (AS) is the commonest form of valvular abnormality in the developed world and accounts for more than 40% of patients with native valvular disease with an approximately equal prevalence in males and females.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is now widely practiced with treatment of over 300,000 patients worldwide. Many centres now regularly implant devices in patients for whom conventional aortic valve replacement (AVR) is deemed high or intermediate risk. Several studies have shown that females have an apparent better outcome with TAVI than males.

There are numerous possible reasons as to the apparent favourable benefit of TAVI in women including: having both lower rates of moderate / severe aortic regurgitation and peri-procedural mortality, lower rates of bleeding and renal failure, better patient prosthesis match and recovery of left ventricular function with more favourable left ventricular remodelling.

Rationale for proposal:

Newer devices have reduced the introducer French size and are hence associated with reduced rates of vascular and bleeding complications. This may translate to an even higher survival benefit in female versus male patients with severe aortic stenosis treated with transfemoral TAVI. In the current study we will aim to investigate gender temporal survival trends, and complications including stroke and heart attack in aortic stenosis patients treated with current versus older generation transcatheter valves. We have already been successful in obtaining the periprocedural data from NICOR and and mortality data will be linked from NHS digital.

Objectives

The current study will aim to:

  1. Compare the mid-long term survival of females versus males in patients with AS treated with current versus older TAVI technologies. Study design In the current study, all patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI in the UK (between 2007 and 2017) will be included.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Stenosis and Gender, run by Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Dec 2023. 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?

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?

All cause mortality (time frame: 3 years). 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 21 Dec 2023.
