COMP-AS: Role of Aortic Valve Composition in Pathophysiology and Diagnosis of Aortic Stenosis
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The study aims to evaluate composition differences of aortic valves in different stages and phenotypes of aortic stenosis using non-invasive imaging and histology.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Severe Aortic Stenosis - High Flow, High Gradient patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement for severe AS |
|
Severe Aortic Stenosis - classical Low Flow, Low Gradient patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement for severe AS |
|
Severe Aortic Stenosis - paradoxical Low Flow, Low Gradient patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement for severe AS |
|
Moderate Aortic Stenosis patients undergoing aortic root replacement (Bentall procedure) |
|
Heart Transplant patients undergoing orthotopic heart transplant for any reason |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Aortic valve tissue composition measured from pre-procedural computed tomography angiography [up to 30-days before surgery]
Quantitative analysis of aortic valve composition will be based on pre-surgical planning CTA images using semi-automated software (Autoplaque version 2.5, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, Los Angeles, CA, USA) for calcified, non-calcified and total tissue volumes.
- Aortic valve tissue composition measured from quantitative histology [immediately post-surgery]
Different stains will be used to characterize composition of excised aortic valves (hematoxylin and eosin, Movat Pentachrome, Van Gieson's trichrome, Congo Red, anti-CD68 antibody
