Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of Erythropoietin (EPO) (+ iron) in reducing the rate of red blood cell transfusion requirements in patients with aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

STUDY DESIGN

Prospective randomized double blind study including patients diagnosed with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis and anemia undergoing aortic valve replacement. The patients will be identified in the cardiac surgery / aortic stenosis outpatient clinic or in the hospitalization department of the Institut Universitaire de Cardiologie et de Pneumologie de Quebec.

SAMPLE SIZE

100 patients (50 patients per group).
