NCT00371826
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of corticosteroid discontinuation versus cyclosporine micro emulsion discontinuation in recipients receiving reduced exposure cyclosporine micro emulsion and corticosteroids plus enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) initially, changed to everolimus at 2 weeks post-transplant. These two groups will be compared to a third control group, who will receive treatment consisting of cyclosporine micro emulsion, enteric-coated mycophenolate sodium (EC-MPS) and steroids.
NCT01925235
Patients with impaired renal function are at elevated risk for development of acute kidney injury (AKI). AKI is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Effective AKI prevention strategies are needed. Remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) is a novel and successful strategy to attenuate contrast medium induced AKI in patients undergoing elective coronary angiography. The retrospective RenPro-TAVI Trial was designed to test the hypothesis whether remote ischemic preconditioning might attenuate kidney injury in patients receiving transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Patients with impaired renal function undergoing TAVI will be evaluated in respect whether they received remote ischemic preconditioning before the procedure or not. This study will give insight if RIPC might be beneficial in these patients.
