About this study

Official title: Pilot, Randomized,Single Blind Trial of Surgical Prevention of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Rheumatic Mitral Valve Lesion

This study evaluates the safety and efficiency of surgical prevention of atrial fibrillation in patients with valvular heart disease and left atrium enlargement

Read the detailed description

Preservation or appearance of AF(atrial fibrillation) after mitral valve surgery substantially reduce the number of excellent and good results of the operation in the long-term period, causing circulatory insufficiency, increased pulmonary hypertension, increasing the risk of thromboembolic events and stroke.

Significant predictors of AF after surgery are the initial size of the left atrium more than 6.0 cm, stenotic lesions and rheumatic genesis of mitral defect. 80% of patients in this group had AF during the first year after operation.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • surgical prevention of atrial fibrillationProcedure or surgery

    Prophylactic surgical ablation is performed to prevent AF in patients during mitral valve surgery. Ablation is performed by radiofrequency electrode or cryoprobe. Pulmonary veins, posterior wall of the left atrium will be isolated by the scheme box-lesion with additional lines to the mitral valve and appendage of left atrium.

  • cardiomonitorDevice

    in both groups cardiac rhythm will be controlled by a cardiomonitor

Receives: Procedure: surgical prevention of atrial fibrillation; Device: cardiomonitor

What is being measured

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

  1. composite outcome measure of complications

    Measured: up to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. number of participants with freedom from AF according to the long-term ECG monitoring

    Measured: 1 year

  2. transport function of the left atrium according to TTE (transthoracic echo)

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing surgical prevention of atrial fibrillation and cardiomonitor in people with Atrial Fibrillation and Rheumatic Heart Disease, run by Meshalkin Research Institute of Pathology of Circulation at 1 site in Russia.

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 3 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 11 Sep 2017. 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 Russia. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

composite outcome measure of complications (time frame: up to 1 year). 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 11 Sep 2017.
