Trial summary

One of the most common residual lesions in adult survivors of pediatric cardiac surgery is pulmonary valve disease, particularly regurgitation. Multiple studies have demonstrated that placement of a pulmonary valve in such patients, results in improved ventricular function and resolution of symptoms. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Review of Outcomes Following Pulmonary Valve Replacement for Congenital Heart Disease in Adults

One of the most common residual lesions in adult survivors of pediatric cardiac surgery is pulmonary valve disease, particularly regurgitation.

Multiple studies have demonstrated that placement of a pulmonary valve in such patients, results in improved ventricular function and resolution of symptoms. However, the optimal prosthetic valve for use in the pulmonary position has not been defined. There are essentially three alternatives available: the stented bioprosthetic valve, stentless bioprosthetic "tube" grafts used to replace the entire right ventricular outflow tract and mechanical valves.

All three of these valve options have been used in adults with congenital heart disease at Emory Healthcare and at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston.

The goal of this study is to evaluate and compare the indications and short and mid-term outcomes for these alternative therapies.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Disease, Congenital and Pulmonary Valve Replacement, run by Emory University at 2 sites in United States.

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 0 inclusion and 1 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 26 Nov 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. 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.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 26 Nov 2013.
