Study summary

Paraprosthetic cardiac valve leaks are a progressive complication after after surgical or percutaneous heart valve replacement. These leaks can lead to heart failure and/or life-threatening hemolysis.

Percutaneous closure of para-prosthetic leaks has been developed as an alternative to surgery in high-risk patients. These procedures remain technically challenging with a significant risk of failure and complications, but this risk is improved since the development of dedicated prostheses and the increased experience of the operators. The data in the literature concerning percutaneous leak closure remain limited and disparate and mostly retrospective.The impact of the procedures on the quality of life of patients is not known. Beyond the technical aspects and the follow-up of major cardiovascular events, investigators also wonder what is the impact of these procedures on the quality of life of patients. Investigators hypothesize that even a partial reduction in paraprosthetic leakage may be associated with an improvement in quality of life through reduction of transfusion needs and/or reduction of dyspnea. A prospective study is warranted to assess the technical and clinical and clinical results of these procedures, together with the evaluation of the the possible benefit on the quality of life of the patients.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY MAIN OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical results of the transcatheter closure of para-prosthetic leaks.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE Technical success of the procedure defined by successful placement of the prosthesis at the intended site with at least a 1 grade reduction in leakage and residual leakage grade 0-1 Change in quality of life after closure of para-prosthetic leakage at 3 months Evolution of clinical and biological markers of hemolysis and heart failure between at 3 months evolution of clinical markers of functional capacity 4. JUDGMENT CRITERIA 4.1 PRIMARY ENDPOINT

-Clinical success of the procedure:

Clinical success will be assessed on a composite endpoint at 2 years:

  • vital status,
  • hospitalization for heart failure,
  • blood transfusion for hemolysis,
  • surgical or percutaneous re-intervention on the treated valve. 4.2 SECONDARY ENDPOINTS The technical, echographic, biological and clinical data of the procedure and post procedure will be recorded as well as the complication rates. The EQ5D-5L quality of life score will be evaluated before the procedure, between 1 and 3 months, and post procedure.

STUDY POPULATION INCLUSION CRITERIA

To be included, each patient must meet all of the following conditions:

  • Patients aged 16 years and older,
  • Patients or the representative of the parental authority of the minor patient who does not object to participation in the observatory,
  • Patients referred for a para-prosthetic leak closure procedure NON-INCLUSION CRITERIA Patients presenting at least one of the following criteria cannot be included

Study population

Included patients are included as part of their routine clinical care. The percutaneous intervention is not indicated for the purpose of the study but according to each centre policy after a medico-surgical meeting.

Prior to percutaneous intervention, a large investigation of functional status, quality of life, biological exam and echocardiography is performed. This investigation is done again at 1 and 2 years

Groups and cohorts

  • paravalvular leak

    patients referred for percutaneous paravalvular leak closure

    Procedure: percutaneous paravalvular leak closure

Interventions

  • Procedurepercutaneous paravalvular leak closure

    the procedure consists of deployment of an occluder or a vascular plug within the cardiac paravalvular leak. The device is inserted percutaneously from a femoral vascular approach or from a trans-apical approach. The device is deployed through a delivery sheath within the leak. Stability and efficacy to occlude the leak are assessed by transoesophageal echocardiography prior to device release. Type of devices to be inserted varied : * Amplatzer vascular plug 3 * occlutech paravalvular leak device * amplatzer vascular plug 2 * amplatzer muscular ventricular septal defect * amplatzer vascular plug 4 Devices to be implanted are under the responsability of the local investigator and are not based on the study design.

    Also known as: transcatheter paravalvular leak closure

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. clinical success

    Device success is a composite criteria including all of the following conditions: No rehospitalizations or reinterventions for hemolysis No rehospitalizations or reinterventions for Heart Failure Improvement versus baseline in symptoms defined as decrease in NYHA functional class of at least one class vs. baseline

    Time frame: 1 year

Secondary outcomes

  1. clinical success

    Clinical success will be assessed on a composite endpoint at 2 years including the following conditions: * no death * no hospitalization for heart failure, * no blood transfusion for hemolysis, * no surgical or percutaneous re-intervention on the treated valve.

    Time frame: 2 year

  2. quality of life

    evolution of quality of life between baseline and 3 months after the procedure on the EQ5D-5L score

    Time frame: 30 days

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Jan 2020 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2024, 59 months after the start.

Of 95 non-industry observational studies under Heart Valve Diseases, half reached primary completion within 67 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 212. This study's planned 59 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 115 studies reached it within 67 months; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 212.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 18, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
