About this study

Official title: Predictors of Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension After Percutaneous Mitral Commissurotomy and Its Impact on Clinical Outcomes

To identify clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic parameters which can predict persistent PH after PMC, and also to determine the impact of persistent PH on the clinical outcomes.

Read the detailed description

Pure mitral Stenosis develops in approximately 40% of all patients with rheumatic heart disease, and is frequently complicated by Pulmonary hypertension (PH). Pulmonary hypertension influences symptomatology and long-term prognosis. Percutaneous Mitral Commissurotomy (PMC), was first described in 1984, has good results and is performed by antegrade access to the mitral valve through trans-septal puncture by one of various techniques (e.g. Inuoe, and multitrack system). Pulmonary artery pressures (PAP) decrease following PMC. The improvement in pulmonary hypertension after PMC is explained by the improvement in the mitral valve area and subsequent decompression of left atrium (LA) and pulmonary venous beds. Even though there have been studies showing excellent results following PMC in all grades of PH, nonregression of PH following PMC is not uncommon. The component of PAP contributed by the passive transmission of the elevated LA pressure regresses immediately after a successful PMC proportional to the reduction in transmitral gradient. The PH contributed by pulmonary arteriolar constriction slowly comes down over weeks or a few months, But a "fixed" component due to pulmonary vascular disease usually persists.

What participants receive

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

  • Percutaneous Mitral CommissurotomyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Percutaneous mitral valvuloplasty

    Percutaneous mitral commissurotomy is performed by experienced interventional cardiologists using the Inoue balloon or multitrack technique. During the procedure, conventional hemodynamic parameters are monitored. A successful immediate result is defined as a mitral valve area > 1.5 square cm with less than moderate to severe mitral regurgitation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Composite of cardiovascular event

    Composite of cardiovascular mortality, cerebral infarction, systemic embolic events ,RV failure ,MV re stenosis that occurred during follow-up, and PMC-related complications; procedural mortality and urgent MV surgery. parameters changes from base line study and after follow up as MVA in cm 2,PASP in mmHg,LAP in mmHg,LVEP in mmHg,PVR in wood unit

    Measured: Participants will be followed for a minimum follow-up of one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Percutaneous Mitral Commissurotomy in people with Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Assiut University.

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 3 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 10 Sep 2019. 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 Mohamed abdelfatah Ahmed (+2001121560152, drmohamedabdelfatah@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Composite of cardiovascular event (time frame: Participants will be followed for a minimum follow-up of one month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04083729, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 2019.
