About this study

Official title: Early Left Atrial Venting Versus Conventional Treatment For Left Ventricular Decompression During Venoarterial Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support (EVOLVE-ECMO Trial)

The EVOLVE-ECMO(Early Left Atrial Venting Versus Conventional Treatment For Left VEntricular Decompression During Venoarterial ExtraCorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support) study is a randomized controlled trial to evaluate the prognostic effect of early LA venting(when detect B-line on serial lung ultrasound) on weaning VA-ECMO support in refractory CS who receive VA-ECMO support. The aim of EVOLVE-ECMO trial is to test the hypothesis that early LA venting would result in a significant reduction in failure of weaning ECMO support in refractory CS.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Left atrial ventingProcedure or surgery

    The contralateral femoral vein is assessed with an 7-French(Fr) sheath() and femoral artery is assessed with 5-Fr sheath( ) for fluoroscopic guidance using 5-Fr pig-tail catheter. In some cases trans-esophageal echo is used. The inter-atrial septum in punctured with a standard BRK™tran-septal needle(St. Jude Medical Inc., St. Paul, MN) under direct visualization via an 8-Fr Mullin sheath(St. Jude Medical Inc.). A SAFARI™(Boston Scientific, Galway, Ireland) guidewire is advanced into the LA. An 8-Fr Mullin-sheath is removed and atrial septostomy is performed using 21-Fr dilator. A 17-Fr or 21-Fr Biomedicus Percutaneous Femoral cannula(Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN) is then placed in the LA and was attached to the ECMO circuit using a Y connector.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Left atrial venting in people with Cardiogenic Shock and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation Support, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 8 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 31 Aug 2022. 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 South Korea. 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?

weaning rate of VA-ECMO (time frame: during index admission). 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 31 Aug 2022.
