About this study

Official title: Administration of Warm Blood Cardioplegia With or Without Roller Pump; a Randomized Controlled Trial.

The aim of this study is to compare the effect of warm blood cardioplegia administration with and without roller pump on perioperative myocardial injury, reflected by postoperative biomarker release, in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with a minimal extracorporeal circuit (MECC).

Read the detailed description

Patients Sixty-eight patients undergoing elective coronary bypass surgery with a MECC system were consecutively enrolled and randomized into a no pump group (blood cardioplegia administration without roller pump) or pump group (blood cardioplegia administration with roller pump). Exclusion criteria were: previous cardiac surgery, scheduled surgery with less than 3 distal anastomoses, left ventricular ejection fraction <45%, chronic renal failure (defined by preoperative creatinine >177 µmol/L) and aortic insufficiency ≥ grade 1. The medical ethics committee of the St. Antonius Hospital approved this study and written informed consent was obtained for each patient prior to the surgical procedure.

Administration of blood cardioplegia In all patients warm blood cardioplegia was administered via the aortic root immediately after aortic cross-clamping. Warm blood cardioplegia consisted of oxygenated blood with added Potassium Chloride/Magnesium Sulphate (KCl/Mg SO4; Pharmacy Catharina Hospital, Eindhoven, The Netherlands: K+ 1.7 mmol/mL, Cl- 1.7 mmol/mL, Mg2+ 0.17 mmol/mL en SO4- 0.17 mmol/mL). An infusion pump was used for the addition of KCl/Mg SO4. Dosage was based on a blood cardioplegia flow of 200 mL/min and adjusted according to the following protocol: the initial dose of KCl/MgSO4 was 5.7 mmol/min (= 6.7 mL), the second dose was 3.4 mmol/min (= 4 mL) and subsequent doses were 2.6 mmol/min (= 3 mL). Each dose was given over a period of 2 minutes. Every 15 minutes the administration of blood cardioplegia was repeated. In case of recurring ECG activity, blood cardioplegia was given with aberrant intervals.

In the no pump group blood cardioplegia was delivered using the arterial line pressure, created by the arterial centrifugal pump of the cardiopulmonary bypass system. Blood cardioplegia flow depended on the difference between arterial line pressure and aortic root pressure. In the pump group blood cardioplegia was delivered using a roller pump. The blood cardioplegia flow was given at 200 mL/min.

Blood sample collection and analyses Blood was collected in EDTA tubes (6 mL) at baseline after induction of anaesthesia (T0), after arrival at the ICU (T1), 4 hours in ICU (T2) and at the first postoperative day (T3). Blood samples were fractionated by centrifuging 1500-2000 x g for 15 min. Plasma was collected and stored at -80°C until analysis. The following biomarkers were analysed: Troponin T high sensitive (TnT-hs), Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (H-FABP), N-terminal brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) and C-reactive protein (CRP).

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 4 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 26 Sep 2014. 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 Netherlands. 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?

Troponin T high sensitive (TnT-hs) (ng/L) (time frame: Change from baseline to the first postoperative day). The study lists 4 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 26 Sep 2014.
