Conditions

Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement

Keywords

antivitamins K, direct oral anti-coagulant

Brief summary

The main objective of this study is to demonstrate that a single anticoagulant therapy is superior to a combination of anticoagulant and antiplatelet therapy on the net clinical benefit estimated at 12 months after a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Intervention (TAVI) according to BARC2 criteria (bleeding complications; Mehran et al 2011) and VARC 3 (other complications; Kappetein et al 2012)..

Detailed description

The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate the following at 3 months, 6 months and 12 months after TAVI in both groups: 1. Mortality (all causes). 2. Cardiovascular mortality. 3. The occurrence of myocardial infarction. 4. The occurrence of stroke. 5. The occurrence of valve thrombosis. 6. The occurrence of major bleeding (BARC ≥ 3). 7. The occurrence of minor bleeding (2 ≤ BARC \<3). 8. Treatment compliance.

Interventions

DRUGVitamin K antagonist or direct oral anticoagulant treatment

The Vitamin K antagonist or direct oral anticoagulant treatment will be administered to obtain an International Normalized Ratio between 2 and 3 as recommended if the treatment is AVK. The Direct oral anticoagulant treatment : Apixaban 5 mg x2 or 2.5 mg X2, Edoxaban 30 ou 60 mg

DRUGAspirin

Daily dose is between 75 mg and 100 mg. Allergic reactions to aspirin may be observed in rare cases. In case of suspicion of allergy, treatment with aspirin is stopped.
