Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (12)
Mortality
Up to 1 year post-procedure
Rate of neurologic events
Neurologic events are defined according to VARC-3 criteria, including ischaemic stroke, haemorrhagic stroke, and Transient ischaemic attack (TIA): Ischaemic Stroke: Acute focal neurologic deficit in a vascular territory with symptoms ≥ 24h OR \< 24h with neuroimaging (CT or MRI) or pathology confirmation of CNS infarction. Haemorrhagic Stroke: Acute neurologic deficit due to non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage, confirmed by neuroimaging (CT or MRI) or pathology. TIA: Transient focal neurologic deficit \< 24h presumed to be ischaemic, but without evidence of acute infarction on neuroimaging (CT or MRI) or pathology.
Up to 1 year post-procedure
Hospitalization
Up to 1 year post-procedure
Bleeding and transfusions
Bleeding events are defined according to VARC-3 criteria: Type 1 (Minor): Overt bleeding that does not require intervention but leads to hospitalization, increased level of care, or medical evaluation, or requires a transfusion of 1 unit of whole blood or red blood cells. Type 2 (Major): Overt bleeding that requires a transfusion of 2 to 4 units of whole blood or red blood cells, or is associated with a hemoglobin drop of 3 to 5 g/dL. Type 3 (Life-threatening or Disabling): Overt bleeding in a critical organ (e.g., intracranial, pericardial with tamponade), causing hypovolemic shock or severe hypotension requiring vasopressors or surgery, or requiring a transfusion of ≥ 5 units of whole blood or red blood cells, or associated with a hemoglobin drop ≥ 5 g/dL. Type 4 (Fatal): Overt bleeding leading to death, classified as probable based on clinical suspicion or definite if confirmed by autopsy or neuroimaging.
Up to 1 year post-procedure
Vascular and access-related complications
Periprocedural
Cardiac structural complications
Periprocedural
Bioprosthetic valve dysfunction
Up to 1 year post-procedure
Clinically significant valve thrombosis
Up to 1 year post-procedure
Technical success
Technical success is defined according to VARC-3 criteria, requiring the fulfillment of the following: 1. Freedom from mortality. 2. Successful access, delivery of the device, and retrieval of the delivery system. 3. Correct positioning of a single prosthetic heart valve into the proper anatomical location. 4. Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device, or to a major vascular, access-related, or cardiac structural complication.
Periprocedural
Device success
Device success is defined according to VARC-3 criteria, requiring the fulfillment of the following: 1. Technical success 2. Freedom from mortality 3. Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device or to a major vascular or access-related or cardiac structural complication 4. Intended performance of the valve
at 30 days
Early safety
Taking the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement cohort as an example, early safety is defined according to VARC-3 criteria, requiring the fulfillment of the following: 1. Freedom from all-cause mortality 2. Freedom from all stroke 3. Freedom from VARC type 2-4 bleeding 4. Freedom from major vascular, access-related, or cardiac structural complication 5. Freedom from acute kidney injury stage 3 or 4 6. Freedom from moderate or severe aortic regurgitation 7. Freedom from new permanent pacemaker due to procedure-related conduction abnormalities 8. Freedom from surgery or intervention related to the device
at 30 days
Clinical efficacy
Taking the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement cohort as an example, clinical efficacy is defined according to VARC-3 criteria, requiring the fulfillment of the following: 1. Freedom from all-cause mortality 2. Freedom from all stroke 3. Freedom from hospitalization for procedure- or valve-related causes 4. Freedom from KCCQ Overall Summary Score \<45 or decline from baseline of \>10 point
