About this study

Official title: The Oregon Health & Science University Cardiac Implantable Electronic Device Extraction Registry

Implanted cardiac devices are commonly used to treat a wide variety of heart diseases, including arrhythmias, cardiac resynchronization in select heart failure patients, and life threatening heart rhythms. Approximately 400,000 devices are implanted annually, and more than 3 million patients currently have implanted devices1.

Implanted cardiac devices are made to 2 components, the can and the leads. The can contains the electric circuits and the battery, which must be replaced every 5-10 years. The can is connected to external leads which pass through the subclavian vein, and depending on the device, into the vena cava, right atrium, right ventricle, and/or coronary sinus. Leads typically last longer than the battery, and are simply reconnected to a new can at the time of replacement.

Certain clinical situations necessitate lead removal, including pocket infection, device related endocarditis, venous stenosis or occlusion with the need for new access, and removal of abandoned or malfunctioning leads. Removing the leads is technically difficult due to fibrosis, and requires specialized equipment. Compared to lead implantation, extraction of leads is relatively rare, with a life time risk of a device patient needing an extraction in the 1-5% range. Given that this is a relatively rare procedure and is only done at a few centers, documentation of our experiences with lead extraction can lead to ongoing improvements in both procedural techniques and outcomes.

Study Procedures

This is a retrospective review of data on patient characteristics (such as age, gender, co-morbidities), procedure specifications and indications, and outcomes of lead extraction done at OHSU.

Patients who have undergone either pacemaker or defibrillator lead extraction will have their charts reviewed for the desired data, which will then be compiled into a database. All procedures will be part of routine clinical care.

Data Analysis:

This is an observational registry study; there are no primary or secondary outcomes. Data will be analyzed to determine patient and procedural characteristics, procedure indications, complications and outcomes

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Lead Extraction Procedures, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

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 1 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2024. 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 United States. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Charles Henrikson, MD (503-494-0331, henrikso@ohsu.edu), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

safety (acute complications, per HRS consensus document) (time frame: duration of hospitalization, typically 2 days to 2 weeks). 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 15 Apr 2024.
