About this study

This study evaluated the efficacy of self-expandable valves and balloon-expandable valves in patients with ascending aortic dilation who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Read the detailed description

Ascending aortic dilation (AAD) is a common feature in patients with aortic stenosis, especially in those with bicuspid aortic valve. According to the 2022 AHA/ACC Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Aortic Disease, in patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement who have a concomitant AAD with a maximum diameter of ≥45mm, ascending aortic replacement is reasonable when performed by experienced surgeons in a Multidisciplinary Aortic Team (Class 2a, Level B-NR). However, in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement, the impact of ascending aortic dilation remains unclear. Therefore, we designed this multicenter prospective randomized controlled trial, aiming to assess the efficacy of self-expandable and balloon-expandable valves in patients with AAD with a maximum diameter of ≥45mm.

What is being measured

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

  1. Device success

    (1) freedom from mortality; (2) successful access, delivery of the device, and retrieval of the delivery system; (3) correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location; (4) freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device or to a major vascular or access-related, or cardiac structural complication; (5) intended performance of the valve (mean gradient <20mmHg, peak velocity <3m/s, Doppler velocity index ≥0.25, and less than moderate aortic regurgitation).

    Measured: Perioperative period

  2. 30-day all-cause mortality

    30-day all-cause mortality

    Measured: 30 days

  3. 30-day adverse aortic events

    Aortic-related death, aortic dissection, or aortic rupture.

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. 1-year all-cause mortality

    1-year all-cause mortality

    Measured: 1 year

  2. 1-year cardiovascular mortality

    1-year cardiovascular mortality

    Measured: 1 year

  3. 1-year adverse aortic events

    Aortic-related death, aortic dissection, or aortic rupture.

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Aortic expansion rate≥3mm/year

    The aortic expansion rate was defined by the change of AA diameter (before the procedure and at the latest follow-up) divided by the follow-up period.

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transcatheter aortic valve replacement in people with Aortic Stenosis and Ascending Aortic Dilatation, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases at 3 sites in China.

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 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Dec 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in China. 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 Kang An, MD (+86-15801301740, ankang913@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Device success (time frame: Perioperative period). The study lists 3 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 20 Dec 2024.
