Overview

The POPular ATLANTIS trial aims to investigate CT-guided antithrombotic therapy compared to lifelong single antiplatelet therapy after a transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedure. Only patients without an indication for anticoagulants will be included in this trial. Currently, lifelong single antiplatelet therapy (mostly aspirin) is considered the standard of care for these patients. However, this approach poses a bleeding risk with only a minimal reduction in thromboembolic events.

After 3 months, a CT scan will be conducted to assess the presence of thrombosis on the newly implanted TAVI valve. Based on the results of a 4D CT scan, the decision will be made whether the patient should receive no anticoagulant or antithrombotic therapy with apixaban. CT-guided antithrombotic therapy holds the potential for a greater reduction in thromboembolic events without increasing the bleeding risk.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Successful TAVI (according to the VARC-3 criteria)10 with any approved device
  • Ability to understand and to comply with the study protocol
  • Written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Existing indication for oral anticoagulation (e.g. atrial fibrillation, obstructive valve thrombosis detected by echocardiography prior to inclusion)
  • Existing indication for dual antiplatelet therapy at three months after TAVI (rare at this time point)
  • Creatinine clearance <15 mL/min (based on the CKD-EPI formula) or on renal replacement therapy

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
