Conditions

Aortic Stenosis, Non-rheumatic

Keywords

balloon aortic valvuloplasty indication, heparin, hemorrhagic, ischemic

Brief summary

To assess if the non use of heparin sodium during balloon aortic valvuloplasty reduces serious complications due to the procedure, by decreasing the rate of vascular and hemorrhagic complications without increasing the rate of ischeamic events.

Interventions

DRUGHeparin

Valvuloplasty is performed in a conventional manner, ie with an injection of unfractionated heparin (50 IU / kg) at the start of procedure

DRUGNaCl

valvuloplasty is performed without heparin (placebo injection)

Inclusion criteria

* be over 18 * carry a tight and symptomatic aortic stenosis * have an indication for a ballon aortic valvuloplasty * Subject have signed his written informed consent

Exclusion criteria

* Have an absence of femoral surgical approach * have a criticial hemodynamic state, considered as outdrove for the treatment * have a severe aortic failure * allergia to heparin * contraindication to heparin or/and local anaesthetic * be treted by low molecular weight heparin in less than 12 hoursbefore the intervention or by standard heparin in less than 4 hours before the valvulopasty * have a tight but not symptomatic aortic stenosis

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Number of serious complication : vascular, hemorrhagic or ischaemic complicationUp to10 days after the valvuloplasty (D1-D10 after the intervention)

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of any non serious complication directly associated with the procedure (vascular, hemorrhagic or ischaemic complication)up to30 days after the valvuloplasty (until D30 after intervention)Non serious complication is complication directly associated with the valvuloplasty which could be vascular complications medically treated (compression), BARC 2 hemorrhage, general procedure complications
number of a serious complication : vascular, hemorrhagic or ischaemic complicationup to 30 days after valvuloplasty
