About this study

Official title: Bridge Occlusion Balloon Initial Use in Humans Study

To evaluate the use of an occlusion balloon (Bridge™ Occlusion Balloon, Spectranetics) within the Superior Vena Cava in lead extraction patients.

Read the detailed description

This study will evaluate the use of an occlusion balloon (Bridge™ Occlusion Balloon, Spectranetics) within the Superior Vena Cava in lead extraction patients. This will be performed in a non-emergent setting to allow for evaluation of how best to integrate this new technology into the investigators clinical practice. The study will focus on the effect of the Bridge balloon on the patient preparation clinical workflow, ease of insertion/positioning/deployment, and the ability to recognize proper inflation and vein sealing under fluoroscopy. Understanding these factors will help build a more robust clinical workflow with the goal of better patient outcomes in the case of an Superior Vena Cava injury. The images and data generated during this study can help in dissemination of the practical use knowledge to fellow lead extractors.

At the time of the protocol registration, the timeframe 12 months was entered, this was actually the anticipated length of the study at registration. The timeframe was corrected to 33 minutes (average time) at the time of results entry.

Bridge Occlusion BalloonExperimentalBridge Balloon catheter is designed to be used for temporary vessel occlusion of the superior vena cava in applications including perioperative occlusion and emergency control of hemorrhage associated with vascular tears that may occur during lead extraction procedures.
Receives: Device: Bridge Balloon

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Successful Balloon Occlusion of Superior Vena Cava

    After Bridge Balloon deployment and inflation, the degree of blood vessel occlusion will be reported. Measurements will be calculated from fluoroscopic images (using x-ray machine) and venograms (images with injection of contrast agent). Successful balloon occlusion of the superior vena cava (SVC) is defined as >90% occlusion of the SVC by visual estimate using conventional venography.

    Measured: 33 minutes (average time)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Time of Bridge Balloon Deployment

    Time will be calculated in seconds starting from opening the Bridge Balloon Package up to full balloon deployment.

    Measured: 33 minutes (average time)

  2. Number of Participants With Changes in Heart Rate at One Year

    Heart Rate (in beat per minute) will be collected at 5 points: baseline, after guidewire insertion, at the time of balloon inflation, immediately post deflation and 5 minutes post deflation (all during the procedure itself). This outcome will be reported at the end of the study as if there were any unacceptable or no unacceptable changes in the hemodynamics over the course of the 12 month period.

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Number of Participants With Changes in Blood Pressure at One Year

    Blood pressure in mmHg will be collected at 5 points: baseline, after guidewire insertion, at the time of balloon inflation, immediately post deflation and 5 minutes post deflation (all during the procedure itself). This outcome will be reported at the end of the study as as if there were any unacceptable or no unacceptable changes in the hemodynamics over the course of the 12 month period..

    Measured: 1 year

  4. Number of Participants With Changes in SPO2 at One Year

    SPO2 will be collected at 5 points: baseline, after guidewire insertion, at the time of balloon inflation, immediately post deflation and 5 minutes post deflation (all during the procedure itself). This outcome will be reported at the end of the study as if there were any unacceptable or no unacceptable changes in the hemodynamics over the course of the 12 month period..

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Bridge Balloon in people with C.Surgical Procedure; Cardiac and Cardiac Dysrhythmia, run by Yale University at 7 sites in United States.

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 7 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 14 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Apr 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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 Participants With Successful Balloon Occlusion of Superior Vena Cava (time frame: 33 minutes (average time)). 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 14 Jun 2021.
