NCT03802760

Brief Summary

During different interventional cardiology procedures we aim to identify cerebral microemboli load. Further we aim to differentiate the quality and the quantity of cerebral microemboli.We will measure cerebral microemboli in different interventional phases, e.g. during valve deployment, rapid pacing, post-implantation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of cerebral microemboli (solid vs. gaseous)

    The quality of cerebral microemboli is measured by Doppler ultrasonography which automatically detects and analyses the Doppler signal coming from the middle cerebral artery. According to the strength of signal reflection, the signal will be qualified as solid or gaseous.

    intraoperative phase, expected to be approx. 4 hours

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Quantity of cerebral microemboli load

    intraoperative phase, expected to be approx. 4 hours

  • Cerebral hemispheric differences (left vs. right)

    intraoperative phase, expected to be approx. 4 hours

Study Arms (3)

TAVI patients

Patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI

Device: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound measurement

MitraClip patients

Patients undergoing MitraClip implantation

Device: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound measurement

TricuspidalClip

Patients undergoing TricuspidalClip implantation

Device: Transcranial Doppler (TCD) ultrasound measurement

Interventions

Non-invasive measurement of cerebral embolic load and blood flow using TCD

MitraClip patientsTAVI patientsTricuspidalClip
