简要总结
This study aims to utilise novel biomarkers assessing thrombosis and thrombolysis (through a blood test), to identify patients undergoing either surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) or transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) who are at risk of thrombosis, and relate this to clinical thrombotic and thromboembolic adverse events and subclinical valve thrombosis, and identify the timeframe of greatest risk for valve thrombosis.
详细描述
Recent studies have highlighted the risk of peri-operative thrombosis in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR) and the subsequent risk of subclinical valve thrombosis in bioprosthetic AVR. The risk is significantly greater with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) than surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR), and can lead to stroke and other neurological events including death, and early valve failure secondary to restricted leaflet mobility.
Whilst oral anticoagulation (OAC) can reduce thrombosis, OAC has been shown to significantly and unacceptably increase the risk of bleeding when applied to all-comers undergoing TAVI. It would therefore be desirable to identify which patients are at increased thrombosis risk so these can be targeted with antithrombotic medications, whilst avoiding unnecessary bleeding risk in low risk patients.
In this study will aim to identify those patients at greatest risk of thrombosis using novel biomarkers (assessing thrombosis and thrombolysis), and note whether these tests are able to predict adverse events.
The tests for thrombosis and thrombolysis will involve a blood draw, which will be taken at various time points in the study to signal the time point of greatest thrombogenicity, which may be dependent on anti-platelet and anticoagulant therapy that the patient is prescribed.
Adverse events include MACCE (myocardial infarction, stroke, TIA (transient ischaemic attack) and death), systemic embolism, clinical and subclinical valve thrombosis, valve restriction and bleeding.

- •Exclusion Criteria:
- •Inability to provide valid informed consent.
- •Male and female patients aged < 18 years of age.
- •The patient has, in the opinion of the investigator, significant neurological, hepatic, renal, endocrine, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, haemorrhagic, metabolic or other disease likely to confound the study requirements or analyses.
- •The patient has a history of substance abuse or demonstrates signs or clinical features of active substance abuse or active psychiatric disease that may result in non-compliance with visits or inability to obtain venous access.
- •Alcohol consumption above recommended safe levels (i.e. more than 14 units per week owing to the potential effects of high alcohol levels on platelet reactivity).
