About this study

Percutaneous closure is one of the methods used to treat, among other congenital heart disorder, Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) in children and adults. During the years 1998-2013 four hundred and fifty patients were catheterized in the department of pediatric cardiology and congenital heart diseases in Rambam health care campus, using various devices.

In this retrospective research, the investigators analyze data from patients' medical files, to estimate and define the correlation between the patients' demographic and morphologic data to the type and size of chosen closure device.

Aim of study:

To create an algorithm that can be used to choose the proper device for percutaneous closure of the PDA, based on the characteristics of the patient and the PDA type.

Read the detailed description

The investigators analyze the demographic characteristics of patients before the procedure (Age, gender, weight, height, co-morbidities etc.), the type and characteristics of PDA and the chosen device, success and failure rates of the procedure, and adverse effects.

The data is taken from patients' medical files - based on medical reports regarding physical examination, blood tests and imaging studies including cineangiograms and echo-doppler studies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Success of implantation

    due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.

    Measured: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. residual shunt

    due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013) and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.

    Measured: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Patent Ductus Arteriosus, run by Rambam Health Care Campus at 1 site in Israel.

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.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Success of implantation (time frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam). 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?
