Trial summary

Objectives: Goal of the study is to investigate the potential benefit that transcatheter interventions such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), MitraClip, Left Atrial Appendage Closure and catheter Ablation can gain from multimodal image fusion techniques as they are available in the Hybrid suite.

About this study

Official title: Use of Standardized Diagnostic Imaging Data (Computertomography, Angiography, Echocardiography) for Image Fusion in the Hybrid Operating Room

Objectives:

Goal of the study is to investigate the potential benefit that transcatheter interventions such as Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI), MitraClip, Left Atrial Appendage Closure and catheter Ablation can gain from multimodal image fusion techniques as they are available in the Hybrid suite.

Read more

Both the HeartNavigator and the EchoNav aim at decreasing the exposure to radiation and contrast agent, to shorten the operation time (efficacy), and to increase the quality of care (safety).

This pilot study aims at observing these aims on a small patient population and a control group.

Number of Subjects:

140 patients total in 6 groups:

  • MitraClip, Left Atrial Appendage Closure or catheter Ablation with EchoNav (20, lead-in stage).
  • MitraClip randomized with EchoNav (25), MitraClip randomized without EchoNav (25).
  • TAVI with HeartNavigator lead in (10)
  • TAVI randomized with HeartNavigator (30), TAVI randomized without HeartNavigator (30).

Medical Device:

HeartNavigator: System for preoperative image-based assessment of aortic root geometry, planning of transcatheter aortic valve implantation, and intraoperative C-Arm control.

EchoNav: System for intraoperative registration of 3D Echo images with X-ray fluoroscopy images.

What is being measured

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

  1. Radiation Dose (mSv) administered to each patient

    At the end of the procedure the recorded radiation-dose is assessed.

    Measured: Day of intervention (day 1)

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Duration of the intervention (minutes)

    At the end of the procedure the skin-to-skin-time is assessed.

    Measured: Day of intervention (day 1)

  2. Contrast agent dose (ml)

    At the end of the procedure the recorded contrast agent dose is assessed.

    Measured: Day of intervention (day 1)

  3. Increased quality of care (EchoNav group)

    Usually 1 to 5 days after intervention

    Measured: Discharge: 1 to 5 days after intervention

  4. Degree of Mitral Regurgitation (EchoNav group)

    Usually 1 to 5 days after intervention

    Measured: Discharge: 1 to 5 days after intervention

  5. Postinterventional transvalvular gradient

    Catheter-based direct measurement

    Measured: Up to 7 days after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HeartNavigator and EchoNav in people with Heart Valve Diseases, run by University of Zurich at 1 site in Switzerland.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2013. 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 Switzerland. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Simon Sündermann, MD (simon.suendermann@usz.ch), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Radiation Dose (mSv) administered to each patient (time frame: Day of intervention (day 1)). 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 19 Jun 2013.
