NCT ID NCT04870424
First seen Jun 05, 2026 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether colchicine, a drug used for gout, can prevent new atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat) and the need for a permanent pacemaker in people undergoing a minimally invasive heart valve replacement (TAVI). About 200 patients with severe aortic stenosis took either colchicine or a placebo for 30 days after the procedure. The goal was to see if the drug's anti-inflammatory effects could reduce these common post-surgery complications.
