Trial summary

Mitral prolapse is a common cardiac disease whose patients are at higher risk for serious complications. Mitral valve (MV) repair offers several important advantages compared with valve replacement and it achieves excellent midterm and long-term results. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Phase II Study of Using a New Device (Neochordameter) in Making Artificial Chordae for Mitral Valve Repair

Mitral prolapse is a common cardiac disease whose patients are at higher risk for serious complications. Mitral valve (MV) repair offers several important advantages compared with valve replacement and it achieves excellent midterm and long-term results. Two major problems of using pre-measured expanded polytetrafluoroethylene(ePTFE) neochordae (the loop technique) are deciding the length of the neochordae and tying the knot at the intended length. Therefore, a great need still exists to find new method to simplify and precise the length of neochordae. 20 patients with mitral valve prolapse who undergo mitral valve repair using neochorda will be recruited in this study. Trans thoracic echocardiography (TTE) will be done preoperatively for all patients. Two, three, and four chamber view of each patient will be pre-operatively recorded. The device will be set with extracted measurements. Artificial corda loops are made using CV-4 ePTFE sutures. After artificial chordae replacement, the ring annuloplasty will be done. Follow up: A leakage test after attaching the 1st loop; Post operative trans esophageal echocardiography (TEE) and determining the severity of mitral regurgitation [Wall motion Score Index (WMSI), Mitral Annulus Area (MAA), LVEF, End Systolic Volume (ESV), End Diastolic Volume (EDV), Iso-Volemic Relaxation Time (IVRT), (IVRT/(QE-QE^') ,Chamber Relaxation velocity)/(Myocard relaxation velocity(E/E^' ), HR]; TEE 3 months after discharge; Cross clamp time; Intubation period in ICU.

Experimental: premeasured NeochordaeExperimentalTransthoracic echocardiography(TTE) is done for all patients. The new device will be setup using the TTE measurements.The artificial Chordae loops will be made at the operation room before starting the surgery. These loops will be attached to the respective papillary muscle's head and the free edge of respective prolapsed scallop.
Receives: Device: Artificial Chordae

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    Measured: Early (within 30 days after surgery), Late (After 12 months)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Mitral Valve prolapse measurement after using neochordae

    Measured: Intra-operation, 3, 6, and 12 months after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Artificial Chordae in people with Mitral Valve Repair, run by Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Mar 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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

Are results available for this study?

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?

Mortality (time frame: Early (within 30 days after surgery), Late (After 12 months)). 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 14 Mar 2013.
