Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Patients who are unable to provide informed consent - Active malignancy excluding non-melanoma skin cancer - Active liver disease (ALT, ASP, AP >3x ULN or active hepatitis A, B or C) - Patients using, and unable to omit, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, corticosteroids, or hormone replacement therapy - Known coagulopathy - Severe anaemia requiring blood transfusion or thrombocytopenia
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The difference in coagulation activation, as measured with prothrombin fragments 1+2 and fibrinopeptide A+B, between baseline and 3 months after M-TEER | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Markers of the coagulation cascade, thrombin generation, clot breakdown, and platelet activation will be measured before and 3 months after M-TEER: • Coagulation cascade: Prothrombin fragments 1+2, Thrombin-AntiThrombin complex (TAT), activated coagulation factors (Factor VIIa, Factor IXa, Factor Xa, Factor Xia, and Factor XIIa in complex with their respective natural inhibitors), thrombin-generation test (TGT) • Platelet reactivity: P-selectin expression, beta-thromboglobulin • Endothelial activation: VWF antigen, sICAM • Fibrinolysis activity: fibrinogen, soluble fibrin, plasmin-alfa-2-antiplasmin complex, D-dimer • VWF multimeres • Overall thrombus formation assessment (e.g. T-TAS AR chip) • Full blood count + differentiation • Clinical endpoints, i.e. bleeding, myocardial infarction, stroke/TIA, systemic embolism, all-cause death | — |
