HEParin Antagonisation in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Conditions
Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Protamine Sulfate Overdose
Aortic Valve Stenosis
Registration Number
NCT05422170
Lead Sponsor
Deutsches Herzzentrum Muenchen
Brief Summary

Unfractioned heparin is usually given in a defined dosage during transfemoral TAVI. Activated Clotting Time (ACT) is usually used to measure the heparin effect. ACT-analysis is easy to perform at the bedside, but susceptible to interference effects. At the end of the procedure, protamine is given to reverse eventual residual heparin effect. An overdose of protamine can impair the coagulation itself. The investigators want to analyse the effect of a partial heparin reversal by ROTEM Analysis.
