About this study

Assessment Of Right Ventricular Function In Patients Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Graft In Assiut University

Read the detailed description

Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a major risk factor in coronary artery disease (CAD) and patient undergoing revascularization with this combination , incidence of RV dysfunction is reported in about 20% cases of CAD.

RV dysfunction is a possible cause of cardiac failure after cardiac surgery and has a high mortality rate.

RV dysfunction is a recognized cause of hypotension early after coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG)

A decrease in RV function is an event known to occur after CABG. Right ventricular dysfunction can be seen during and immediately after cardiac surgery. Although the mechanism of this phenomenon is not well understood, cardiopulmonary bypass, perioperative myocardial ischemia, intraoperative myocardial damage, cardioplegia, and pericardial disruption or adhesion have been suggested as probable causes.

Major reasons for complications of cardiac surgery are the need for hypothermic cardiac arrest, aortic cross clamping, and exposure to a cardiopulmonary bypass circuit.

It has been postulated that avoidance of these factors by performing off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB) surgery might reduce perioperative morbidity and improve outcome.

Recently, the portion of coronary artery bypass grafting on the beating heart without the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) has been expanded in cardiac surgery as a result of awareness of the damaging effect of CPB

Whether OPCAB surgery can fulfill these expectations, or to which degree, is yet unclear.

A few studies on hemodynamic alternations associated with OPCAB reported that reduced functions of both ventricles during coronary artery anastomosis are the main mechanism of hemodynamic derangements and especially, impaired diastolic function of the right ventricle (RV) plays an important role

However, clinical studies evaluating the change in RV function in patients with ischemic heart disease are very rare. It is reported that the major cause of hemodynamic changes during OPCAB was disturbed diastolic filling of the RV through the measurement of chamber pressures or monitoring of echocardiography.

There was no significant change in the RVEF and cardiac index during anastomosis of the left anterior descending artery and right coronary artery. However, the significantly reduced RVEF accompanied by an increase in RV afterload and decrease in the CO was observed during anastomosis of the obtuse marginal (OM) artery. RV volumes did not significantly change during anastomoses, though the right atrial pressure increased during anastomoses of all coronary arteries. The displacement of beating heart for positioning during anastomosis of the graft to OM artery caused significant derangement of RV function and decrease in CO.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of CORONARY ARTERY BYPASS, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Maria Refaat, master (01120108960, Merofouad307@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Assessment of effects of CABG on right ventricular function (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03275220, 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 7 Sep 2017.
