Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (PTOTtAVR)

April 18, 2022 updated by: Adele Myszenski, Henry Ford Health System
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.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Rationale: Frequency of transcatheter and other structural heart procedures increased dramatically from 2012 to 2014 and is trending even higher for 2015. Procedures increased from 15 in 2012 to 50 cases in 2013 (233% increase) and to 70 cases in 2014 (40% increase from 2013 to 2014.) -- PT and OT identified a gap in consults and need for specific education targeted for a new surgery population (tAVR) without sternotomy. Often consults were placed on day of discharge to rehab facility or not at all. -- Structural Heart division of CV institute identified increased length of stay (LOS) and decreased activity of their patients in the hospital. -- No literature on this subject found via Henry Ford Hospital Sladen Library PubMed literature review

Aim: • Create a standardized pathway for new transcatheter aortic valve replacement patients in the Structural Heart Division (SHD)

  • Improve patient outcomes including increasing the percentage of patients returning to home rather than a rehab facility destination at discharge
  • Decrease length of stay

Implementation:

  • Plan: PT and OT identified a gap in consults and need for specific education targeted at a new surgeries population (tAVR); Structural Heart division of CV institute identified an increase LOS and decreased activity of their patients in the hospital. In October 2014 planning began to introduce a SHD tAVR pathway that would include post procedure day number 0 nursing requirements and training, post procedure day number 1-3 PT and OT assessment and interventions.
  • Do: Implemented pathway in November 2014.
  • Check: Order set revision; Patient handouts ; Cardiac Rehab; Weekend criteria; staff training
  • Act: February 2015, order sets in place, patient handouts finalized and full pathway finalized for post op tAVR patients.
  • Continued checks identified additional SHD procedures and team determined that Mitral Clips and LARIATs were not criteria for tAVR pathway but would receive routine PT and OT consults.

Intervention: • Added PT and OT to Structural Heart Order Set.

  • PT and OT assessments completed on post procedure day number day 1.
  • PT and OT follow up treatments post procedure day number 2, 3 and beyond as appropriate.
  • Patient education handouts individualized for patient population
  • Pre-op education handouts individualized for patient population

Outcome measures: Hospital Length of stay, discharge disposition. Data Analysis: Chi-square tests are used to compare proportions between groups, while Wilcoxon two-sample tests are used to compare distributions of continuous variables between groups. This nonparametric test was chosen due to non-Gaussian distribution of the continuous outcomes within groups. Statistical significance was set at p<0.05. All analyses were performed using SAS 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, North Carolina, USA).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
