About this study

Official title: Concomitant Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Patients Undergoing Elective Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting and Aortic Valve Replacement for Aortic Stenosis: a Prospective Study

A substantial proportion of patients undergoing elective coronary artery bypass grafting have a history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation has adverse short-and long term postoperative effects. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) seems to be effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. PVI can be done concomitantly with coronary artery bypass grafting, aortic valve replacement for aortic stenosis and combination of them. Procedure is well defined and safe.

There is a lack of convincing evidence of the effect on postoperative atrial fibrillation burden, quality of life and symptoms especially in correlation with atrial fibrillation paroxysms.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Atrial fibrillation burden

    Atrial fibrillation burden is defined as the amount of atrial fibrillation on one week Holter monitoring

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

  2. Freedom of symptomatic and asymptomatic atrial fibrillation after surgery

    Atrial fibrillation is defined as atrial fibrillation paroxysm lasting at least 60 seconds.

    Freedom of atrial fibrillation is defined as duration of atrial fibrillation less than 0,5% of the one week Holter monitoring

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Compare quality of life (QOL) and symptoms, correlation of symptoms with atrial fibrillation

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

  2. Adverse events after surgery in both arms

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

  3. Anti-arrhythmic treatment after surgery

    Measured: Within one year after treatment

  4. Hospitalization due to atrial fibrillation after surgery

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

  5. Cardioversion for the treatment of atrial fibrillation after surgery

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

  6. Other cardiovascular related events: death, stroke, cardiac infarction, need for revascularization and bleeding

    Measured: Within one year after operative treatment

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CABG, AVR or CABG+AVR and PVI and CABG, AVR or CABG+AVR in people with Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation and Coronary Artery Disease, run by Kuopio University Hospital at 1 site in Finland.

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 4 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Sep 2020. 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 Finland. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Not enough patients for study arms). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Atrial fibrillation burden (time frame: Within one year after operative treatment). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 2 Sep 2020.
