Evaluating closure techniques after heart valve replacement

Randomized Trial Comparing Dual Perclose Vs Single Angioseal And Perclose in Patients Undergoing Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

NA · Baylor Research Institute · NCT06983938

This study is testing whether using two ProGlide devices instead of one ProGlide and Angioseal to close the femoral artery after heart valve replacement is safer and leads to fewer complications for patients.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and potential complications of using dual ProGlide versus single ProGlide and Angioseal for closing the femoral artery after a transcatheter aortic valve replacement. It is a prospective, randomized, parallel, open-label, single-center, non-inferiority study involving approximately 90 patients. Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two closure techniques, and the study will assess various outcomes including bleeding complications and hospitalization costs. Follow-up assessments will occur 30 days post-procedure to monitor any clinical changes or complications.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older who are scheduled for transcatheter aortic valve replacement via femoral access.

Not a fit: Patients who require non-femoral access or have a history of complications related to the common femoral artery may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve closure techniques, potentially reducing complications and hospital stays for patients undergoing heart valve replacement.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have explored similar closure techniques, but this specific comparison of dual versus single ProGlide and Angioseal is relatively novel.
