NCT02974660 | Completed Phase 4

Brief Summary

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is a new, rapidly emerging standard of care in inoperable and high-risk patients with severe, symptomatic aortic stenosis. Information regarding reversal of unfractionated heparin with protamine sulfate in order to facilitate access site closure is scarce and based on expert consensus. Clinical practice varies between centers. Protamine sulphate may decrease the amount of bleeding complications related to the access-site. The impact on possible thromboembolic complications is unknown. Both bleeding and thromboembolic complications increase mortality after TAVI. A randomized trial is required in order to assess impact of protamine sulfate on prevalence and extent of bleeding and thromboembolic complications.

Conditions

Aortic Valve Stenosis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Bleeding complications

  Composite of life-threatening and major bleeding complications according to Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC) criteria (unit of measure: 0/1 \[absence/presence\])

  48 hours or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

Secondary Outcomes (4)

• Successful closure of the access-site

  15 minutes

• Thromboembolic complications

  5 days or hospital discharge, whichever occurs first

• Assessment of peri-procedural myocardial muscle injury

  24 hours

• All-cause mortality

  30 days

Study Arms (2)

Protamine sulfate

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

After obtaining optimal valve deployment patients will receive protamine sulfate (1 mg for each 100 units of UFH i.v.). Measurement of activated clotting time (ACT) will be performed (after heparin administration and after protamine sulfate administration).

Drug: Protamine sulfate

0.9% NaCl

PLACEBO COMPARATOR

After obtaining optimal valve deployment patients will receive 0.9% saline (20 ml i.v.). Measurement of activated clotting time (ACT) will be performed (after heparin administration and after placebo administration).

Drug: 0.9% NaCl

Interventions

Protamine sulfate DRUG

Protamine sulfate

0.9% NaCl DRUG

0.9% NaCl
