简要总结
EARTH-TAVR is a diagnostic multicenter study to evaluate the occurrence and extent of cerebral embolization (total new lesion volume) in patients before TAVR versus 3 months after TAVR.
详细描述
Calcific aortic valve stenosis is the most common cause of aortic stenosis (AS) among adults in Europe and in the United States. The prevalence of moderate or severe AS was found to be age-dependent rising from 0.02% in patients aged 18-44 years to 2.8% in patients aged ≥ 75 years. Among patients at prohibitive surgical risk, TAVR has become the treatment of choice.The safety and efficacy of TAVR compared with medical management and SAVR has been demonstrated in clinical trials.The composite of the rate of all-cause death or stroke was 27% and 37% in TAVR patients after 1 and 2 years, respectively.Even though parts of the strokes occur during the peri-procedural period, the patients remain at risk of stroke throughout the first months after the procedure.
EARTH-TAVR is a diagnostic multicenter study performing in association with the GALILEO trial (NCT02556203), which is investigating cerebral embolization with MRI and neurocognitive testing in patients undergoing TAVR, who are treated with anticoagulation (Rivaroxaban/ASS) or DAPT (Clopidogrel/ASS). GALILEO is a global multicenter, open-label, randomized, event-driven, active-controlled study comparing a rivaroxaban-based antithrombotic strategy to an antiplatelet-based strategy after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to optimize clinical outcomes.
Investigators aim to investigate peri-interventional and delayed cerebral embolization in the early period (3 months) after TAVR and to analyze associations between neurocognitive parameters and cerebral embolization patterns in patients on different antithrombotic treatment regimes.

结局指标
主要结局
Total volume of new cerebral lesions on MRI, 3 months after TAVR versus Baseline
时间窗: 3 months after TAVR versus baseline
Occurrence and extent of cerebral embolization in patients after TAVR measured by total volume of new ischemic cerebral lesions on DWI and FLAIR MRI. Total new lesion volume is defined as the sum volume of all new cerebral ischemic lesions on the 3 months post-procedural MRI relative to the pre-TAVR cerebral MRI scan (on diffusion weighted and FLAIR MRI images)
次要结局
- Extent and localization of clinically apparent non-cerebral emboli after TAVR(baseline, post TAVR and after 3 months)
- Evaluation of possible changes in quality of life after TAVI with EQ-5D questionnaire sum score.(Baseline versus 3 months following TAVR)
- New lesion volume of cerebral embolization in patients treated with ASS and rivaroxaban 10mg OD versus an antiplatelet -based strategy with ASS and clopidogrel.(3 months post TAVR versus baseline)
- extent and location of new cerebral lesions early AFTER TAVR and after 3 months(MRI after TAVR (0-7 days after TAVR) compared to 3 months after TAVR)
- Assessment of different neurocognitive tests (NIHSS-score, MOCA-score, MOT-score, PAL-score, RTI-score, SWM-score, AST-score, CAM-Score); change of sum scores before, after and 3 months after TAVR procedure.(Before TAVR, post TAVR and after 3 months)
