Anticoagulation Alone Versus Anticoagulation and Aspirin Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Interventions (1:1)

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
Interventions
Drug: Vitamin K antagonist or direct oral anticoagulant treatment
Registration Number
NCT02735902
Lead Sponsor
Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nīmes
Brief Summary

The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that a single anticoagulant therapy is superior to a combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy on the net clinical benefit estimated at 12 months after a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) according to BARC2 criteria (bleeding complications; Mehran et al 2011) and VARC 3 (other complications; Kappetein et al 2012)..

Detailed Description

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the following at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after TAVI in both groups:

1. Mortality (all causes).

2. Cardiovascular mortality.

3. The occurrence of myocardial infarction.

4. The occurrence of stroke.

5. The occurrence of valve thrombosis.

6. The occurrence of major bleeding (BARC ≥ 3).

7. The occurrence of minor bleeding (2 ≤ BARC \<3).

8. Treatment compliance.

vitamin K antagonist or Direct oral anticoagulant + AspirinVitamin K antagonist or direct oral anticoagulant treatmentIn this group, patients will receive combination therapy via anticoagulant (AVK or DOAC) and aspirin, whose daily dose is between 75 mg and 100 mg; the anticoagulant treatment administered corresponds to the anticoagulant treatment the patient was receiving before the procedure, monitored and adapted according to current recommendations. A data collection book for monitoring INR values and dates for the next 12 months is given to the patient. Intervention: anticoagulant Intervention: Aspirin
