Trial summary

Percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) with the MitraClip® system has emerged as a therapeutic alternative to surgical valve repair in patients who are at high risk and unsuitable for surgery. The PMVR procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia, but the MitraClip® is also feasible in deep sedation. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Safety and Feasibility of Deep Sedation Instead of General Anaesthesia in Percutaneous Mitral Valve Repair Using the MitraClip® System

Percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) with the MitraClip® system has emerged as a therapeutic alternative to surgical valve repair in patients who are at high risk and unsuitable for surgery. The PMVR procedure is typically performed under general anaesthesia, but the MitraClip® is also feasible in deep sedation.

The aim of this study is to investigate the safety of deep sedation in patients undergoing the PMVR procedure and to evaluate how deep sedation in comparison to general anaesthesia influences procedural time and in-hospital stay.

Read the detailed description

Percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) with the MitraClip® system has emerged as a therapeutic alternative to surgical valve repair in patients who are at high risk and unsuitable for surgery.

The PMVR procedure, however, is typically performed under general anaesthesia. It has recently been shown in a first approach that performing the MitraClip® in deep sedation is feasible; however safety parameters and a direct comparison to general anaesthesia are still missing The aim of this study is to investigate the safety of deep sedation in patients undergoing the PMVR procedure and to evaluate how deep sedation in comparison to general anaesthesia influences procedural time and in-hospital stay.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of patients with adverse Events

    Evaluation of feasibility and safety of deep sedation instead of general anaesthesia

    Measured: patients will be followed for the duration of procedure until discharge, an expected average of 10 days

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. preparation and procedure time

    Measured: procedure

  2. Overall time to discharge

    Measured: Participants will be followed for the duration of hospital stay, an expected average of 10 days

  3. Changes in 6-Minute Walk Test

    Measured: Baseline to 1 month after intervention

  4. Changes in NYHA class

    Measured: Baseline to 1 month after intervention

  5. Changes in N-terminal prohormone of brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)

    Measured: Baseline to 1 month after intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mitral Regurgitation and Local Anaesthesia, run by Heinrich-Heine University, Duesseldorf.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Dec 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.

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?

Number of patients with adverse Events (time frame: patients will be followed for the duration of procedure until discharge, an expected average of 10 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02023762, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 30 Dec 2013.
