Trial summary

Rationale: The choice of antithrombotic regimen during TAVI and CTO PCI includes the use of unfractionated heparin. The accuracy of ACT in this setting is disputed. ACT has never been compared to a point-of-care aPTT test for monitoring anticoagulation during percutaneous cardiac interventions. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Correlation Between ACT anD APTT During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation and Chronic Total Occlusion Percutaneous Coronary Interventions

Rationale: The choice of antithrombotic regimen during TAVI and CTO PCI includes the use of unfractionated heparin. The accuracy of ACT in this setting is disputed. ACT has never been compared to a point-of-care aPTT test for monitoring anticoagulation during percutaneous cardiac interventions.

Objective: The aim of the present study is to evaluate which point-of-care test (ACT or aPTT) gives the best correlation with the coagulation status in patients, defined with the anti-Xa measurement.

Study design: A Single-center, prospective, observational study Study population: patients undergoing TAVI (Cohort A) or CTO PCI (Cohort B) in the Erasmus University Medical Center

Main study parameters/endpoints: The main study endpoints are the correlation between the ACT and APTT point-of-care- tests and the coagulation status, defined as the laboratory anti-Xa measurement.

Read the detailed description

The choice of antithrombotic regimen during TAVI and CTO PCI includes the use of unfractionated heparin. Heparin is the preferred anticoagulant drug in these percutaneous cardiac interventions aiming for an Activated Clotting Time (ACT) > 200sec or 250seconds depending on the procedure. Heparin has a short half-life time and can be neutralized by protamine.

Monitoring the use of unfractionated heparin during TAVI and PCI can be performed with several measurements, like the ACT and aPTT. To measure ACT, an activator is mixed with whole blood to provide a timing of haemostasis. aPTT is a plasma test in which a surface activator is used to measure the time it takes to form a fibrin clot. In nearly every center ACT is the preferred method because of its ease of use and the assumed reliability. ACT-guided heparin regime during TAVI seems effective in minimizing major bleeding events.

There are limited studies focussing on the difference between ACT- and aPTT measurements. The studies which investigated this difference are merely done in patients with continuous heparin infusions, for example in the setting of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation(ECMO). These studies suggest that there is a better correlation between aPTT and dosage heparin than between ACT and heparin. Also, the correlation between ACT and aPTT seems poor.

The accuracy and correlation of ACT with a point-of-care aPTT test for monitoring the anticoagulation effect of unfractionated heparin has so far not been done in the setting of percutaneous interventions. TAVI requires large bore arterial access and is associated with a relevant frequency of access site related bleeding and vascular complications. CTO procedures often require dual arterial access and the use of different strategies with multiple wires which increases the prevalence of vascular complications, including pericardial effusion.

Precise knowledge of actual anticoagulation status during an invasive procedure and at the time of access site closure may affect the incidence of TAVI and CTO PCI related bleeding complications.

Therefore, the aim of the present study is to evaluate which point-of-care test (ACT or aPTT) gives the best correlation with the coagulation status in patients during TAVI and CTO PCI.

What is being measured

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

  1. The correlation between the ACT point-of-care test with the Anti-Xa-activity measurement).

    The anti-Xa-measurement(in IU/mL) is defined as the reference for the coagulation status. In this study, we measure the point-of-care ACT measurement(in milliseconds) and the anti-Xa measurement 30 minutes after the heparin bolus to determine the correlation.

    Measured: 30 minutes after heparin bolus

  2. The correlation between the APTT point-of-care test with the coagulation status(Anti-Xa-measurement).

    The anti-Xa-measurement(in IU/mL) is defined as the reference for the coagulation status. In this study, we measure the point-of-care APTT measurement(in milliseconds) and the anti-Xa measurement 30 minutes after the heparin bolus to determine the correlation.

    Measured: 30 minutes after heparin bolus

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing activated partial thrombin time in people with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, run by Erasmus Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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 27 Jul 2022. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Nicolas Van Mieghem, MD, PhD (+31 10 703 52 60, n.vanmieghem@erasmusmc.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The correlation between the ACT point-of-care test with the Anti-Xa-activity measurement). (time frame: 30 minutes after heparin bolus). 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 27 Jul 2022.
