About this study

Official title: Comparison of Automated Fastener Device Versus Manually Tied Knot in Minimally-invasive Isolated Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery

The aim of the investigator's study was to evaluate the efficacy and the safety of the Cor-Knot device in isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) by right anterior minithoracotomy (RAMT).

Four hundred and forty patients were operated for AVR by RAMT. Of these patients, 221 underwent isolated AVR surgery with stented prosthesis. Sutures were secured using the Cor-Knot titanium fastener in 63 patients and knots were hand-tied in 158.

The aortic cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass times were significantly decreased in the AT group compared with the MT group. Clinical outcomes were similar in the two groups, whether in the analysis of non-matched or matched groups. There was no difference in 30 day-mortality and the stroke and TIA rates were comparable The automated Cor-Knot fastener is an easy-to-use, time-saving device which does not increase perioperative morbi-mortality in patients undergoing AVR by right anterior minithoracotomy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Heart Valve Diseases, run by Centre Hospitalier La Chartreuse.

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 4 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 10 Sep 2018. 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?

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 surgery times (time frame: peroperative data). 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 10 Sep 2018.
