About this study

Official title: EXTRACT Study (Data Collection on the Extraction of 2nd and 3rd Generation Defibrillation Leads)

The recent expansion of indications for implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) has changed the population of patients being implanted. Younger and healthier patients are now being implanted for primary prevention of sudden cardiac death. Due to the younger population, the likelihood of the lead failing during the lifetime of the patient is higher and also more likely to need extraction. To reduce the risk of the lead extraction procedure and therefore reduce the number of abandon leads, ICD lead manufacturers are designing leads to offer improved chronic extractability to reduce the morbidity and mortality during these procedures.

Read the detailed description

This study will enroll up to 100 subjects at our site only. Prior to the procedure information will be collected including the subjects demographics, medications, medical, cardiovascular and surgical history. During the lead extraction procedure specific data will be gathered which includes items such as: total lead length, lead length from insertion site to connector end of lead just prior to lead extraction, extraction tools used and the physician description of the extraction. The patients will undergo an assessment of extraction force up to 3 kilograms maximum to the ICD lead for a specified amount of time before the use of laser or extraction sheaths. Extraction forces and approximate times will be monitored and recorded throughout the procedure. Forces will be measured by using a force gauge. Xrays will be taken to show lead position during movement of the arm at the side, above the head and across the chest. Fluoroscopy images of the heart may be saved. The amount of extra time added to the case in order to perform this study and collect the data is estimated at 10 minutes. Participation in the study is complete following the procedure. There is a 30-day follow-up phone call to capture any adverse events which require a clinic visit, ER visit or hospitalization.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiac Surgical Procedures, run by St. Paul Heart Clinic at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 4 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 Jul 2010. 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 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 Jul 2010.
