TAVIXS: Upper Extremity Versus Lower Extremity Accessory Access Sites During Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this prospective, multicenter, investigator-initiated, randomized clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of a 'minimally invasive, upper extremity' approach versus the standard 'lower extremity' approach for accessory access sites in patients undergoing a transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
The main questions it aims to answer are whether a 'minimally invasive, upper extremity' approach as compared with the standard 'lower extremity' approach:
-
Is associated with less clinically relevant access site-related bleeding complications.
-
Is associated with a shorter time to mobilization after TAVI.
-
Is associated with a shorter duration of hospitalization.
-
Has the same early safety outcomes at 30 days post-TAVI.
Participants will be subject to the usual care surrounding a TAVI procedure but will also will be asked to fill out two questionnaires before and after TAVI:
-
Quick Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand (Quick DASH)
-
Lower Extremity Functional Scale (LEFS)
Researchers will compare the minimally invasive, upper extremity group with the standard lower extremity to see if there are difference regarding the posed questions.

Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: Minimally invasive, upper extremity Radial artery for pigtail catheter and pacing over the Left Ventricular (LV) stiff wire OR radial artery for pigtail catheter and brachial vein for temporary pacemaker when not pacing over the LV stiff wire. |
Procedure: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
Comparing different accessory access sites for TAVI: the temporary pacemaker access site and the diagnostic access site.
|
| Active Comparator: Lower extremity Femoral artery for pigtail catheter and pacing over the LV stiff wire OR femoral artery for pigtail catheter and femoral vein for temporary pacemaker when not pacing over the LV stiff wire. |
Procedure: Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
Comparing different accessory access sites for TAVI: the temporary pacemaker access site and the diagnostic access site.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Clinically relevant bleeding of the randomized access site; either diagnostic or pacemaker access site, or both ["Through 30 days"]
Bleeding Academic Research Consortium (BARC) type 2, 3 or 5 bleeding; In case a clinically relevant bleeding occurs in both the randomized diagnostic access site and the randomized pacemaker access site, these will be combined and the highest classification of the two BARC bleedings will be scored. BARC classification: a classification scoring bleeding complication based on the clinical actions that follow in which type 1 bleeding is not actionable and type 5 bleeding is fatal.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Time to mobilization ["during index hospitalization, approximately 3 days - often hours after TAVI procedure"]
Time to first mobilization in minutes after procedure; mobilization is defined as walking short distances on the patients room or on the corridor. Transfers between bed and chair are not measured as mobilization.
- Total duration of hospitalization ["during index hospitalization, approximately 3 days"]
Duration of index hospitalization in days.
- All-cause mortality ["30 days"]
Deaths within the first 30 days after procedure from any cause.
- All stroke ["30 days"]
All cerebrovascular accidents within the first 30 days after procedure.
- Valve Academic Research Consortium-3 (VARC) type 2-4 bleeding ["30 days"]
Bleeding criteria following the VARC-3 criteria. Type 2 bleeding is classified as bleeding requiring transfusion. Type 3 bleeding is defined as bleeding in a critical organ, causing hypovolemic shock, requiring reoperation or significant transfusion. Type 4 bleeding is defined as overt bleeding leading to death.
- Major vascular, access-related, or cardiac structural complications ["30 days"]
Major vascular complications: Aortic dissection or aortic rupture. Vascular (arterial or venous) injury, unplanned endovascular or surgical intervention, closure device failure, distal embolization or compartment syndrome resulting in death, VARC type ≥ 2 bleeding, limb or visceral ischaemia, or irreversible neurologic impairment. Major access-related complications: • Non-vascular structure, non-cardiac structure perforation, injury, or infection resulting in death, VARC type ≥ 2 bleeding, irreversible nerve injury or requiring unplanned surgery or percutaneous intervention Major cardiac structural complications: • Cardiac structure perforation, injury, new pericardial effusion, coronary obstruction or compromise resulting in death,VARC type ≥ 2 bleeding, haemodynamic compromise or tamponade, or requiring unplanned surgical or percutaneous intervention.
- Acute kidney injury stage 3 or 4 ["30 days"]
All cases of acute kidney injury stage 3 or 4 within 30 days after procedure.
- Moderate or severe aortic regurgitation ["30 days"]
All cases of moderate or severe aortic regurgitation within 30 days after procedure.
- New permanent pacemaker due to procedure-related conduction abnormalities ["30 days"]
All permanent pacemaker placements in the first 30 days after procedure due to procedure-related conduction abnormalities.
- Surgery or intervention related to the device ["30 days"]
All cases of surgery or interventions related to the device within 30 days after procedure.
Other Outcome Measures
- Frequency rate of cross-over to the non-randomized access site ["Immediately after procedure"]
Frequency rate of cross-over of either the diagnostic or temporary pacemaker access site, or both.
- Fluoroscopy time ["Immediately after procedure"]
Fluoroscopy time during the procedure measured in minutes.
- Skin-to-skin time ["Immediately after procedure"]
Skin-to-skin time of the total procedure measured in minutes.
- Temporary pacemaker failure ["during index hospitalization, approximately 3 days"]
Defined as either: Failure to capture Failure to pace Failure to sense intrinsic beats
