Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Target follow-up type
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
In addition to routine clinical care, eligible consenting participants will be agreeing to the following:

1. access to their medical records for:
a) the completion of standardised data collection forms to identify pre-existing risk factors for thrombosis, bleeding or vascular disease, and to assign surgical-risk scores; and,
b) for the completion of standardised procedural record considering all aspects of the procedure with implications for coagulation;

2. Collection of blood samples at procedure-specific pre-specified timepoints at 5 occasions prior to, during and following the procedure. These samples will be processed for:
a) point of care coagulation tests (comprising: ROTEMSigma, TEG6s, activated clotting time and Multiple analysers);
b) standard laboratory testing (comprising: full blood count, coagulation tests [PT/INR, aPTT, direct fibrinogen], anti-xa assay)
c) processing to, storage and transport of platelet poor plasma for specialised coagulation tests

Comparator / control treatment
The primary group will be patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Comparator groups will be patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
Control group

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 307617 0
Point of care coagulation measurement of clot strength.
Timepoint [1] 307617 0
All study cohorts (PCI, TAVI and AVR) will have POCCT testing conducted at procedure-specific timepoints ranging from pre-procedure to 6 hours post-procedure.

The primary timepoint for each procedure will be that showing the largest value for prothrombotic change from baseline in the primary outcomes. The definition of T1 - T5 is different for each procedure. It is anticipated that this change will be most evident at T3 for each procedure which is defined for the TAVI group as post-TAVI deployment; PCI, as post-stent deployment; and, AVR, 20 min post-aortic cannulation.
Primary outcome [2] 318627 0

The definition of T1 - T5 is different for each procedure. It is anticipated that this change will be most evident at T3 for each procedure which is defined for the TAVI group as post-TAVI deployment; PCI, as post-stent deployment; and, AVR, 20 min post-aortic cannulation.
Primary outcome [3] 318629 0
Point of care coagulation measure of clot formation.
Timepoint [3] 318629 0
