Trial summary

Aortic valve bicuspid disease is the most common congenital heart disease. It affects 0.5-2% of the population and is associated with an increased risk of developing aortic or ascending aortic valve complications. 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
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients with bicuspid aortic valve and supra-coronaric ascending aorta aneurysm requiring ascending aorta replacement. Aortic valve regurgitation is no more than moderate, so it is left untreated following the guidelines.

Who may be able to join

  • Adult patients;
  • Bicuspid aortic valve;
  • Presence of ascending aortic aneurysm in the supra-coronary tract treated with replacement using a prosthetic tube between 2002 and January 2020;
  • Untreated aortic valve disease of no more than moderate degree (<2+) at the time of ascending aorta surgery.

Who cannot join

  • Emergency/urgency procedures;
  • Presence of aneurysm extending to the aortic arch or aortic root, with indication for aortic root or aortic arch surgery;
  • Tricuspid aortic valve tricuspid;
  • Absence of aortic valve disease;
  • Presence of moderate-severe or severe aortic valve disease, with indication to a concomitant aortic valve replacement.

About this study

Aortic valve bicuspid disease is the most common congenital heart disease. It affects 0.5-2% of the population and is associated with an increased risk of developing aortic or ascending aortic valve complications.

There is no agreement regarding the opportunity for a "prophylactic" simultaneous aortic valve replacement in the case of mild or moderate aortic valve disease in the bicuspid valve, in patients with an indication for replacement of the ascending aorta due to an aneurysm involving its supra-coronary tract.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the long-term evolution of mild and moderate aortic valve disease in untreated bicuspid valve during supracoronary ascending aortic replacement surgery at our institution.

Being tested
Ascending aorta replacement

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bicuspid Aortic Valve and Ascending Aorta Aneurysm, run by Michele De Bonis at 1 site in Italy.

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 5 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 1 May 2023. 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 Italy. 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?

Aortic valve regurgitation (time frame: Through study completion, a minimum of 6 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 1 May 2023.
