The Multidisciplinary, Multimodality, But Minimalist Approach to Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Interventions
Other: Vancouver 3M Clinical Pathway
Registration Number
NCT02287662
Lead Sponsor
BC Centre for Improved Cardiovascular Health
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy, safety and feasibility of next day discharge home in patients undergoing balloon-expandable transfemoral TAVR utilizing the Vancouver 3M Clinical Pathway in low, medium, and high volume North American centres.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis undergoing elective transfemoral TAVR with a balloon expandable transcatheter heart valve

  1. Considered at increased surgical risk by the Multidisciplinary Heart Team.
  2. Informed written consent
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Non -cardiovascular co-morbidity reducing life expectancy to < 3 years
  2. Any factor precluding 1 year follow-up
  3. Inadequate CT image acquisition to perform area-based annular CT sizing, exclude adverse root features, and determine a coaxial valve deployment angle (CT is not required for valve-in-valve procedures)
  4. Predicted inability to perform uncomplicated percutaneous vascular access and closure
  5. Iliofemoral diameter < 6 mm for SAPIEN XT or <5.5 mm for SAPIEN 3 (measured at or above the mid-femoral head)
  6. Inpatient (unless clinically stable, mobilizing at baseline, and primarily in hospital for logistical reasons.
  7. Significant communication barrier(s) that interfere with ability to follow peri-procedural and discharge instructions
  8. MMSE < 24/30 (unless language barrier or limited formal education), 5-metre gait > 7 seconds (unless chronic mobility impairment not affecting ability to perform ADLs), and ADL < 6/6
  9. Insufficient social support to facilitate next day discharge
  10. Airway unfavourable for emergent intubation
  11. Inability to lay supine without conscious sedation or general anesthetic
  12. Not receiving a balloon expandable transcatheter heart valve
