About this study

A single-center feasibility study in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, to investigate the acute hemodynamic effects of transvenous cardiac autonomic nerve stimulation.

Read the detailed description

A single-center feasibility study performed in patients undergoing a planned cardiac catheterization. This study investigated the feasibility of the NeuroTronik CANS Therapy™ System to improve acute hemodynamics. Purpose-built stimulation catheters were percutaneously inserted into an upper venous structure near the heart via right femoral vein and or left subclavian vein access using standard introducers and techniques. Subjects were instrumented with left ventricular and femoral artery catheters for pressure measurement and stimulated for approximately 60 minutes. Baseline hemodynamic measures were collected before stimulation and compared to measured values during stimulation. Following completion of the protocol, all in-dwelling equipment and catheters were removed.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing NeuroTronik CANS Therapy System in people with Cardiac Output, Low, run by NeuroTronik Inc. at 1 site in Paraguay.

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 15 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 13 Oct 2016. 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 Paraguay. 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?

Cardiac output (time frame: One hour). 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 13 Oct 2016.
