Trial Outcomes & Findings for Use of Transvenous Pacing Wire During Minimally Invasive Port Access Aortic Valve Surgery (NCT NCT01631188)

NCT ID: NCT01631188

Last Updated: 2021-11-16

Results Overview

Heart to begin pacing upon passing the wire through the catheter to the heart. The catheter would be to be able to pace the heart, with 5 or less milliamps, post heart surgery

Recruitment status

TERMINATED

Study phase

NA

Target enrollment

100 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

Preparing to wean from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart lung machine) until 40 hours post wean.

Aortic Valve Replacement
During surgery your doctor will utilize a new technique using surgical equipment that have already been FDA Approved for other indication. The combination of the equipment and technique will be experimental and will be closely evaluated during and after each case. Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve: Patients having minimally invasive aortic valve surgery will have a pacing wire placed through the endovent catheter. The anesthesiologist will attempt to pace the ventricle with this wire if needed to wean from bypass. Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Surgery: The Anesthesiologist will advance a pacing wire through the Endovent Catheter under TEE in order to pace the heart when the subject is coming off the Cardiopulmonary bypass machine Manipulation in OR surgical technique: Endovent and pacing wire when coming off cardiopulmonary bypass

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Preparing to wean from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart lung machine) until 40 hours post wean.

Population: 23 patients were analyzed. Patient # 12 (male, 75 year) and # 19 (male, 61 year) were eliminated from the study after an intraoperative TEE showed additional pathology that changed the operation needed, and thus the operation from a "mini AVR" to a full sternotomy eliminating the need for the study Endovent pacing lead.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Preparing to wean from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart lung machine) until 40 hours post wean.

Population: 1 of 6 had hemodynamic disturbances significant enough to act immediately. Subject had PVC's, run of wide complex QRS with concurrent drop of systolic blood pressure to 60's, the pacing wire was pulled out of the ventricle, and blood pressure was restored and arrhythmia disappeared.

Subjects hemodynamic status will be measured and assessed throughout the study including all vital signs
