Forced diuresis with matched hydration in reducing acute kidney injury during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (Reduce-AKI): study protocol for a randomized sham-controlled trial.

ABSTRACT: Acute kidney injury (AKI) is observed in up to 41% of patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and is associated with increased risk for mortality. The aim of the present study is to evaluate whether furosemide-induced diuresis with matched isotonic intravenous hydration using the RenalGuard system reduces AKI in patients undergoing TAVI.Reduce-AKI is a randomized sham-controlled study designed to examine the effect of an automated matched hydration system in the prevention of AKI in patients undergoing TAVI. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion to the RenalGuard system (active group) versus non-matched saline infusion (sham-controlled group). Both arms receive standard overnight saline infusion and N-acetyl cysteine before the procedure.The Reduce-AKI trial will investigate whether the use of automated forced diuresis with matched saline infusion is an effective therapeutic tool to reduce the occurrence of AKI in patients undergoing TAVI.Clinicaltrials.gov: NCT01866800, 30 April 30 2013.

Project description:BackgroundDiabetes Mellitus (DM) affects a third of patients with symptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). DM is a well-known risk factor for cardiac surgery, but its prognostic impact in TAVI patients remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing TAVI.MethodsThis multicentre registry includes data of > 12,000 patients undergoing transfemoral TAVI. We assessed baseline patient characteristics and clinical outcomes in patients with DM and without DM. Clinical outcomes were defined by the second valve academic research consortium. Propensity score matching was applied to minimize potential confounding.ResultsOf the 11,440 patients included, 31% (n = 3550) had DM and 69% (n = 7890) did not have DM. Diabetic patients were younger but had an overall worse cardiovascular risk profile than non-diabetic patients. All-cause mortality rates were comparable at 30 days (4.5% vs. 4.9%, RR 0.9, 95%CI 0.8-1.1, p = 0.43) and at one year (17.5% vs. 17.4%, RR 1.0, 95%CI 0.9-1.1, p = 0.86) in the unmatched population. Propensity score matching obtained 3281 patient-pairs. Also in the matched population, mortality rates were comparable at 30 days (4.7% vs. 4.3%, RR 1.1, 95%CI 0.9-1.4, p = 0.38) and one year (17.3% vs. 16.2%, RR 1.1, 95%CI 0.9-1.2, p = 0.37). Other clinical outcomes including stroke, major bleeding, myocardial infarction and permanent pacemaker implantation, were comparable between patients with DM and without DM. Insulin treated diabetics (n = 314) showed a trend to higher mortality compared with non-insulin treated diabetics (n = 701, Hazard Ratio 1.5, 95%CI 0.9-2.3, p = 0.08). EuroSCORE II was the most accurate risk score and underestimated 30-day mortality with an observed-expected ratio of 1.15 in DM patients, STS-PROM overestimated actual mortality with a ratio of 0.77 and Logistic EuroSCORE with 0.35.ConclusionDM was not associated with mortality during the first year after TAVI. DM patients undergoing TAVI had low rates of mortality and other adverse clinical outcomes, comparable to non-DM TAVI patients. Our results underscore the safety of TAVI treatment in DM patients.Trial registrationThe study is registered at clinicaltrials.gov (NCT03588247).

Project description:ObjectiveTranscatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures are increasing rapidly, but the durability of tissue valve and periprocedural complications are not satisfactory. Immune reaction to the galactose-α-1,3 galactose β-1,4-N-acetylglucosamine (α-Gal) and conventional processing protocols of cardiac xenografts lead to calcification. Next-generation TAVI needs to be made with α-Gal-free xenografts by multiple anticalcification therapies to avoid immune rejection and enhance durability, and three-dimensional (3D) printing technology to improve the procedural safety.MethodsPorcine pericardia were decellularized and immunologically modified with α-galactosidase. The pericardia were treated by space filler, crosslinked with glutaraldehyde in organic solvent, and detoxified. The sheep-specific nitinol (nickel-titanium memory alloy) wire backbone was made from a 3D-printed model for ovine aortic root. After it passed the fitting test, we manufactured a self-expandable stented valve with the porcine pericardia mounted on the customized nitinol wire-based stent. After in vitro circulation using customized silicone aortic root, we performed TAVI in 9 sheep and obtained hemodynamic, radiological, immunohistopathological, and biochemical results.ResultsThe valve functioned well, with excellent stent fitting and good coronary flow under in vitro circulation. Sheep were sequentially scheduled to be humanely killed until 238 days after TAVI. Echocardiography and cardiac catheterization demonstrated good hemodynamic status and function of the aortic valve. The xenografts were well preserved without α-Gal immune reaction or calcification based on the immunological, radiographic, microscopic, and biochemical examinations.ConclusionsWe proved preclinical safety and efficacy for next-generation α-Gal-free TAVI with multiple anticalcification therapies and 3D-printing technology. A future clinical study is warranted based on these promising preclinical results.
