About this study

Official title: Pulmonary Valve Replacement : Study of Comparison Between a Standard Surgical Approach With Extracorporeal Circulation and an Off-pump Hybrid Strategy.

The purpose of this study is to compare 2 techniques of pulmonary valve replacement in patients with a large right ventricular outflow tract: a standard surgical treatment using cardiopulmonary bypass versus a medico-surgical hybrid strategy without extracorporeal circulation.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary regurgitation is a common complication late after complete correction of a tetralogy of Fallot. It progressively leads to a right ventricular dilatation that has been strongly associated with ventricular arrhythmia, sudden death and right ventricular insufficiency. Pulmonary valve replacement reduces the rate of complications but the precise timing for this procedure remains unknown. Moreover, pulmonary valve replacement, even before the occurrence of symptoms, doesn't allow for a total recovery in all patients. Reasons are not known, but cardiopulmonary bypass as well as late referral to surgery have been incriminated to explain the persistence of right ventricular dysfunction after surgical valvular. Therefore, a strategy avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass could potentially preserve the right ventricular function and in the meantime reduce the hospitalisation length and morbid-mortality. For the last six years, we and others have developed a technique of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. Encouraging results were reported in the treatment of failing right ventricular to pulmonary artery conduit, but presents indications are limited and the innovative technique could not be offered to most of patients requiring pulmonary valve replacement. In particular, to date, conventional surgery is the only approach for patients with large pulmonary trunk over 22 mm in diameter. We had the idea of collaborating with the surgeons to try to improve the outcome of valvular in these patients. We would like to investigate a hybrid strategy in those patients with large right ventricular outflow tract inaccessible to solely transcatheter technique. The studied technique will associate a surgical pulmonary artery banding without cardiopulmonary bypass immediately followed by a transventricular or a transvenous pulmonary valve insertion using a conventional valved stent. The purpose of this randomized study is to evaluate benefits and risks of the medico-surgical hybrid strategy, and to compare both strategies hybrid approach and conventional surgery with extracorporeal circulation in term of right ventricular function recovery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Pulmonary valve insertion and medical surgery hybride in people with Pulmonary Valve Insufficiency, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Sep 2009. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Right ventricular function (time frame: during the study). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00259207, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Sep 2009; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 31 Oct 2026.
