Trial Outcomes & Findings for Biventricular Pacing After Cardiopulmonary Bypass (NCT NCT00498940)

NCT ID: NCT00498940

Last Updated: 2018-02-22

Results Overview

Cardiac output (CO) 12-24 hours after bypass is measured five times and averaged. CO is then converted to CI, after division by the patient's body surface area.

Participant Flow

Enrollment began on April 1, 2007 and ended March 1, 2012. The trial was conducted at Columbia University and University of California, Lost Angeles.

Enrolled patients not meeting study criteria just prior to the start of study, withdrawn at surgeon's discretion, or change in surgery type were not randomized. 61 out of the 111 enrolled subjects were randomized, received study intervention and had data analyzed.

Participant milestones

Participant milestones
Measure
Biventricular Pacing
After weaning from bypass, patients will receive temporary biventricular pacing for 24 hours. Values obtained from optimization testing will determine pacemaker settings (AVD, VVD, heart rate). Optimization Testing: Atrioventricular (AVD) and interventricular (VVD) delays and heart rate were optimized after weaning off bypass (phase I), after sternal closure (phase II), and 12 to 24 hours (phase III) after bypass. Temporary Biventricular Pacing: Continuous temporary biventricular pacing for 24 hours.
Standard of Care
No post operative pacing is to occur. Patients will undergo optimization testing. Optimization Testing: Atrioventricular (AVD) and interventricular (VVD) delays and heart rate were optimized after weaning off bypass (phase I), after sternal closure (phase II), and 12 to 24 hours (phase III) after bypass.

Biventricular Pacing
n=30 Participants
After weaning from bypass, patients received temporary biventricular pacing for 24 hours. Values obtained from optimization testing determined pacemaker settings (AVD, VVD, heart rate). Optimization Testing: Atrioventricular (AVD) and interventricular (VVD) delays and left ventricle lead site location were optimized after weaning off bypass (Phase I), after sternal closure (Phase II), and 12 to 24 hours (Phase III) after bypass. Intrinsic heart rate was also optimized in Phase III. Temporary Biventricular Pacing: Continuous temporary biventricular pacing for 24 hours at a heart rate of 90 bpm or 10 bpm above intrinsic heart rate.
Standard of Care
n=31 Participants
No continuous pacing occurred about surgery. Patients underwent optimization testing. Optimization Testing: Atrioventricular (AVD) and interventricular (VVD) delays and left ventricle lead site location were optimized after weaning off bypass (Phase I), after sternal closure (Phase II), and 12 to 24 hours (Phase III) after bypass. Intrinsic heart rate was also optimized in Phase III.
