Comparison of Single vs. Dual Perclose Devices for Large-Bore Access Closure in TAVR

Wake Forest University Health Sciences300 enrolled

Overview

This study will compare the use of one Perclose device to the usual approach of two devices for pre-closure during Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR). The study will compare the time it takes for bleeding to stop using the different closure approaches. The study will also compare complications when using one Perclose device versus two.

This single-center randomized trial compares single versus dual Perclose devices for pre-closure of vascular access for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) and investigation will evaluate the efficacy and performance of these two pre-closure approaches. The study will provide valuable insights into optimizing pre-closure techniques, potentially enhancing patient outcomes and reducing complications associated with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) procedures. The trial will aim to enroll patients undergoing TAVR, with an an equal number of patients randomized to each pre-closure strategy arm.

Medical Language ↔ Plain English

Inclusion Criteria: * Patient age 18 or older * Transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) * Implantation of CoreValve replacement valve * Access using 14 French sheaths * English speaking Exclusion Criteria: * Alternative Access Routes: Patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) via alternative access routes such as subclavian access or transapical access. * Planned Surgical Cut-Down: Patients planned for surgical cut-down procedures rather than percutaneous access. * Vascular Access Complications: Patients with known vascular complications at the femoral access site, such as residual hematoma, recent femoral arteriotomy or venotomy within the past 10 days, history of significant vascular complications or prior intravascular closure device use within the previous 30 days. * Arterial or Venous Issues: Patients with small femoral arteries or veins (\<5 mm in diameter), patients with access sites located in vascular grafts. * Body Composition: Patients with BMI \>35 * Cardiac Vasculature: Patients with excess calcification of vessels as determined by echocardiography and/or CT angiography * Infection or Inflammation: Active systemic or cutaneous infection or inflammation in the vicinity of the groin. * Coagulation and Hematological Disorders: Known history of bleeding diathesis, coagulopathy, hypercoagulability, or platelet count \<100,000 cells/mm³. Pre-existing immunodeficiency disorder or chronic use of high-dose systemic steroids. * Severe Morbidity: Severe co-existing morbidities with a life expectancy less than 12 months. * Mobility Issues: Patients unable to routinely walk at least 20 feet without assistance. * Recent Anticoagulation: Use of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) within 8 hours before or after the procedure. * Pregnancy and Lactation: Pregnant or lactating women. * Incompatible Procedure Plan: Patients receiving the Edwards Sapien valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) * Contraindications: Patients with contraindications for the use of Perclose device.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Number of Patients With Vascular Complications

Number of subjects in each group experiencing major or minor vascular complications directly related to the TAVR procedure occurring during the index hospitalization.

Time frame: Day 5 post-procedure

Number of Patients With Life-threatening bleeding

Number of subjects in each group experiencing any bleeding event related to the TAVR procedure that is life-threatening within 24 hours post-procedure.

Time frame: Hour 24 post-procedure

Number of Patients With Major or Minor Bleeding Complications Without Life-Threatening Condition

Number of subjects in each group experiencing bleeding complications related to the TAVR procedure that do not meet the criteria for life-threatening bleeding but still result in significant clinical concern within 24 hours of the index procedure.

Time frame: Hour 24 post-procedure

Time to Hemostasis

For each subject, time elapsed from initial deployment of the initial one or two Perclose devices (depending on assigned group) to complete hemostasis of the femoral access site. Measured in seconds.

Time frame: 1 hour post procedure

Secondary Outcomes

Additional Closure Device Use

Number of subjects requiring use of additional closure devices beyond the initial closure strategy required to achieve hemostasis at the femoral access site within 24 hours post-procedure. The number and type of devices will be recorded for each subject.

Time frame: Hour 24 post-procedure

In-Hospital Serious Vascular Complications Requiring Percutaneous or Surgical Interventions

Number of subjects in each group experiencing severe vascular complications that necessitate either percutaneous procedures or surgical interventions during the index hospitalization.
