About this study

Official title: A Study to Assess the Effects of Two Commonly Used Mitral Valve Annuloplasty Rings in Mitral Valve Repair on Short-term Outcomes.

Recently published work has suggested that mitral valve annuloplasty ring type may affect the development of post-repair mitral stenosis resulting in adverse intracardiac hemodynamics and poor functional status. However, these results have not been comprehensively determined in a systematic manner on a general mitral valve repair population. As well, an underlying mechanism for these findings is not understood.

The investigators hypothesize that mitral valve repair with a complete annuloplasty ring (Carpentier-Edwards Physio II) when compared to repair with a partial annuloplasty ring (Simplici- T) may not necessarily result in elevated mitral gradients consistent with functional mitral stenosis (FMS). Currently no prospective data exists to test the hypothesis that a correctly sized, flexible complete annuloplasty ring has detrimental effects.

As 60% of annuloplasty rings used in surgical repair of degenerative mitral valve disease in North America utilizes one of the many forms of complete flexible rings available, this information is urgently required.

The investigators will evaluate: 1) the effect on mitral valve hemodynamics, 2) changes to mitral annular, valvular and subvalvular structure and function with 3D echocardiography, and 3) the effect on patient functional capacity at 1 year.

If FMS early post repair is a real phenomenon, the investigators hope to better understand the mechanisms through the use of advanced imaging techniques-namely 3D modeling of the mitral valvular apparatus, aortic mitral interactions and LV remodeling.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean mitral valve gradient

    Mean mitral valve gradient measured by transthoracic echocardiogram

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Left ventricular remodelling

    Assessment of left ventricular remodelling obtained from transthoracic echocardiography performed pre-operatively and at 1 year post surgery using 3D LV end-diastolic volume and 3D end-systolic volume measurements and 3D LV ejection fraction

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Aortic-mitral coupling

    3D transesophageal echocardiogram assessment intra-operatively both pre and post bypass assessing the entire mitral valvular and subvalvular apparatus, the left ventricle and the aortic valve to assess aortic-mitral valvular coupling and to determine whether there is a difference observed in aorto-mitral coupling between complete and partial ring repairs

    Measured: 1 year

  3. Change in functional capacity

    Functional capacity will be specifically assessed using workload achieved on stress transthoracic echocardiogram studies performed pre surgery and at 1 year post surgery. Measurements acquired will include total exercise time and total workload achieved. Also patients will complete SF-36 questionnaires pre-surgery and at 1 year post surgery for further assessment of change in functional capacity

    Measured: 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Carpentier Edwards Physio 2 Complete flexible mitral ring and Simplici T Partial flexible mitral annuloplasty ring in people with Degenerative Mitral Valve Disease, run by University Health Network, Toronto.

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 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Sep 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 Wendy W Tsang, MD (4163403155, Wendy.Tsang@uhn.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mean mitral valve gradient (time frame: 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 25 Sep 2017.
