Study summary

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is well established, and can improve clinical outcomes of patients with severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) who are inoperable or have high surgical risk. Although the rates of periprocedural bleeding events are lower in TAVI compared to those in surgical aortic valve replacement, those in TAVI still remains high. In addition, current guideline recommended the dual antiplatelet (DAPT), clopidogrel plus aspirin, for a 3- to 6-month period after TAVI, however no evidences supports this approach. The antithrombotic regimen in patients undergoing TAVI is needed to be established.

To establish the antithrombotic regimen in patients undergoing TAVI,

  1. the investigators assess the changes in platelet thrombus formation and white thrombus formation in patients undergoing TAVI measured by Total Thrombus Formation Analysis System (T-TAS).
  2. the investigators analyze plasma microRNAs, and shear stress by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to clarify the mechanistic factors regarding those changes.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Changes in T-TAS parameters (AR-chip, PL-chip) during TAVI

    To measure the thrombus formation area under the curve for AR-chip (AR10-AUC30), and PL-chip (PL24-AUC10) before and after TAVI.

    Time frame: pre-, day 2, day 7, 1 month after device implantation

Secondary outcomes

  1. Changes in shear stress analyzed by using CFD analysis of contrast-enhanced CT

    To measure the shear stress of aortic valve and aorta before and after TAVI by using CFD analysis of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT).

    Time frame: pre-, day 7 after device implantation

  2. Changes in von Willebrand factor multimer decrease

    To measure the von Willebrand factor multimer decrease by using electrophoresis

    Time frame: pre-, day 2 after device implantation

  3. Periprocedural complication, particularly, bleeding complication defined by VARC-2 criteria.

    Time frame: within 30 days after device implantation

Other outcomes

  1. Changes in plasma microRNAs

    To measure the expression of plasma microRNAs before and after TAVI by using qPCR.

    Time frame: pre-, day 2 after device implantation
