Comparison of Carbon Dioxide and Saline Flush to Saline Flush in TEVAR and TAVI Procedures to Reduce Cerebral Ischemia

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Thoracic endovascular repair (TEVAR) and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) are standard of care procedures to treat thoracic aortic aneurysm or severe aortic stenosis, respectively. Both procedures have a high risk of stroke and silent infarction. Gas has been detected in the cerebral vasculature during these procedures and associated with DWI positive lesions on MRI. The hypothesis is that air emboli contribute to stroke and silent infarction. The investigators propose addressing air emboli by flushing the device with carbon dioxide prior to flushing with saline. This is a pilot study comparing standard saline flush alone to carbon dioxide flushing with saline flush.

Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 20 participants
Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Comparison of Carbon Dioxide Flush and Saline Flush to Saline Flush Alone in TEVAR and TAVI Procedures to Reduce Cerebral Ischemia
Actual Study Start Date : July 20, 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : December 31, 2020
Estimated Study Completion Date : March 31, 2021
Arms and Interventions
Arm Intervention/treatment
Placebo Comparator: Saline Flush
This is the control arm. The TEVAR or TAVI device will be flushed with at least 60mL of standard saline to reduce bubbles in the reservoir prior to deployment. This is the standard of care.
Procedure: Standard Saline Flush
Standard of care flushing of the TEVAR or TAVI device with normal saline.
Other Names:
  • Cook Zenith alpha thoracic endovascular graft
  • Sapien Transcatheter heart valve
  • Core Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve

Experimental: Carbon Dioxide and Saline Flush
Carbon dioxide flush of the TEVAR or TAVI device followed by saline flush.
Procedure: Carbon Dioxide and Saline Flush
The TEVAR or TAVI device will be flushed with approximately 1.2L of medical grade carbon dioxide using a 60mL syringe and connecting tubing. The reservoir will then be flushed with at least 60mL of standard saline prior to deployment to minimize bubbles in the saline.
Other Names:
  • Cook Zenith alpha thoracic endovascular graft
  • Sapien Transcatheter Heart Valve
  • CoreValve Trascatheter Aortic Valve
