Study population: The LiuPhD (Loop Isolation-based Uploading Preconditioning to Protect Heart from ischemic-reperfusion Damage) study was a prospective, open-label, single-arm, first-in-man trial on the use of LiuPhD strategy for myocardial protection in patients who underwent surgical coronary revascularization.

Who may be able to join

  • Patients scheduled for a first, elective, isolated, open thoracotomy, on-pump CABG were eligible for enrollment if they if they had coronary angiography-confirmed unprotected left main disease, 3-vessel disease with or without proximal LAD artery disease, or 2-vessel disease with proximal LAD artery disease.
  • Inclusion criteria were evidence of preserved left ventricular function (LVEF≥35%) and normal or mild pulmonary hypertension (sPAP<50mmHg).

Who cannot join

  • Exclusion criteria were secondary CABG, emergency CABG, conversion operations form off-pump CABG or minimally invasive CABG surgery, or any additional cardiac lesions necessitating concomitant surgery, as well as being considered too high risk for surgical revascularization.

About this study

Official title: Loop Isolation-based Uploading Pre-conditioning to Protect Heart From Ischemic-Reperfusion Damage in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

Myocardial protection is of crucial importance for surgical coronary revascularization in patients with ischaemic heart diseases. The investigators proposed loop isolation-based uploading preconditioning to protect heart from ischemic-reperfusion damage (LiuPhD) as a novel cardioprotective strategy, and applied to patients who underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Read the detailed description

Myocardial protection is of crucial importance for surgical coronary revascularization in patients with ischaemic heart diseases. Considerable effort has been made to optimize cardioprotective strategy for improving cardiac performances after global myocardial ischemia. Of various strategies, terminal warm blood cardioplegia (TWBC) delivery has been proven to be effective in reducing risk of ischemic attack at the time of myocardial reperfusion. Based on TWBC strategy and Frank-Starling law of heart, the investigators proposed loop isolation-based uploading preconditioning to protect heart from ischemic-reperfusion damage (LiuPhD) as a novel myocardial protective strategy, which procedurally renders coronary loop via brief warm blood delivery independent of extracorporeal loop following TWBC delivery just before declamping. The investigators hypothesize that LiuPhD strategy allows myocardial cells complete depolarization and drives heart into zero-loading heat cycles, contributing to enhancing myocardial physiologic reserve and improving cardiac initiative capacity responding to upcoming loading increases after onset of clamp release. The aim of the present study was to determine whether LiuPhD strategy during on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can attenuate reperfusion injury after global myocardial ischemia.

What participants receive

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

  • loop isolation-based uploading preconditioning (LiuPhD)Procedure or surgery

    declamping was not done until heart could resume normal mechanical activities and sustain well for three minutes in terms of heart rate, rhythm, and myocardial contractility via continuous antegrade warm blood delivery closely following TWBC reperfusion.

What is being measured

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

  1. Concentration of postoperative maximum cardiac troponin T

    postoperative maximum concentration serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) as markers of myocardial injury.

    Measured: up to 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischaemic Heart Diseases, run by Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 1 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 7 Dec 2018. 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 China. 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 Hong Liu, MD (8618801281613, dr.hongliu@foxmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Concentration of postoperative maximum cardiac troponin T (time frame: up to 30 days). 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 7 Dec 2018.
