Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement
NCT03117296 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Implementation of Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) pathway (initiation of services on Post procedure day #1 and continued daily with focus on education and activity progression) for all patients undergoing a transcatheter aortic value repair procedure began on December 2, 2014. Retrospective data was collected from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Procedures (STS/ACC TVT, trademark) Registry - National database for Transcatherter Aortic Valve Replacement Procedures and included subjects from March 2012 through July 31, 2015. Patients included: s/p tAVR via transfemoral catheter approach, with or without minor intra or post procedure events (GI bleeds, minor access bleeds, afib, etc); Exclusions: Major events including stroke, pacemaker placement, other cardiovascular (CV) repair or surgery required, etc). Future data analysis will extend subjects to December 31, 2015 and annually.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03117296
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03117296 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 189 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Henry Ford Health System, which has 171 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 4 interventions — of which Post procedure daily PT and OT is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03117296 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Michigan. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
