What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of Clinical Success

    The number and proportion of patients who experience clinical success, defined as a composite of 30-day survival, absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure, and absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure

    Time frame: 30 days post-procedure

  2. Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAEs)

    The number and proportion of subjects who experience a MAE within 48 hours post-procedure. MAEs include: all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and device- or procedure-related adverse events of cardiac perforation, vascular perforation, dissection, or pericardial effusion/tamponade

    Time frame: 48 hours post-procedure

Secondary outcomes

  5. Intraoperative survival

    Proportion of patients who survive the index procedure

    Time frame: Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure

  6. In-hospital survival

    Proportion of patients who survive to be discharged from the hospital

    Time frame: Through hospital discharge, up to 6 months post-procedure

  7. 30-day survival

  9. Absence of persistent bacteremia within 7 days post-procedure

    Absence of persistent bacteremia within 7 days post-procedure

    Time frame: 7 days post-procedure

  10. Absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure

    Absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure

    Time frame: 30 days post-procedure

  11. Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure

    Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure

    Time frame: 30 days post-procedure

  12. Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 6 months post-procedure

    Time frame: Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure

  14. Increase in valvular regurgitation 7 days post-procedure

    Increase in valvular regurgitation 7 days post-procedure (TTE)

    Time frame: 7 days post-procedure

  15. Increase in valvular regurgitation 30 days post-procedure

    Increase in valvular regurgitation 30 days post-procedure (TTE)

    Time frame: 30 days post-procedure

  16. Increase in valvular regurgitation 6 months post-procedure

    Increase in valvular regurgitation 6 months post-procedure (TTE)

    Time frame: 6 months post-procedure
