About this study

Official title: Anticoagulation Medicine in Surgical Repair for Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection: a Randomize Multi-centers Study

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a complex congenital heart disease, requiring surgical repair. Pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) is the major complication, with limited effective reinterventions and poor outcomes. This trial aims at investigating that postoperative anticoagulant management reduce the incidence of PVO.

Read the detailed description

Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a complex congenital heart disease, with all the pulmonary veins connecting to the right heart system through collateral vessels, accounts for about 3% of congenital heart disease. Pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) is a major complication, with limited effective reinterventions and poor outcomes. The major challenge for surgical repair of TAPVC is to lower the incidence of PVO.

Previous studies in our center showed the abnormal coagulation function, such as elevated International Normalized Ratio (INR), and decreasing of prothrombin activity, are associated with a higher rate of PVO. Some researches suggested that postoperative application of anticoagulants might reduce the incidence of PVO, however, the evidences are still limited. This trial will randomize patients to receive either conventional postoperative management or continuous infusion anticoagulant (Heparin) until the removal of deep vein catheter. The primary endpoint will be incidence of PVO, days of chest drainage more than 40ml/d, and mortality rate. Secondary endpoints including readmission, functional capacity assessment, quality of life and incidence of complications will also be collected.

What participants receive

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

  • Anticoagulant SolutionsDrug

    Also called Continuous infusion heparin

    Patients in this group will received continuous infusion heparin 6 hours postoperatively (initial dose 10 iu/kg/h, dynamic regulation according to ACT 160-180s). After the removal of deep vein catheter, aspirin 5 mg/kg will be given every eight hours subsequently for 3 months.

  • No anticoagulant solutionsOther

    They will receive non-coagulant or coagulant treatment according to clinical conditions.

  • Anticoagulant managementDrug

    Continuous infusion heparin (initial dose 10 iu/kg/h and dynamic regulation until the activated coagulation time (ACT) 160-180 s) for a few days.

    Aspirin 5 mg/kg will be given every eight hours subsequently for 3 months.

Conventional treatment groupActive comparatorPatients in this group will received conventional treatments. Drug: None. Drug: For the high-risk patients, doctors will assess their risk factors and choose continuous infusion heparin (initial dose 10 iu/kg/h and dynamic regulation until the activated coagulation time (ACT) 160-180 s) if needed. Aspirin 5 mg/kg may be given every eight hours subsequently for 3 months.

Anti-coagulant treatmentExperimentalContinuous infusion heparin. Patients in this group will received continuous infusion heparin 6 hours postoperatively (initial dose 10 iu/kg/h, dynamic regulation according to ACT 160-180s). After the removal of deep vein catheter, aspirin 5mg/kg will be given every eight hours subsequently for three months. Study will follow the intention-to-treat principle.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO)

    The postoperative PVO were diagnosed by echocardiography or computed tomography scan

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Days of chest drainage

    > 40ml/d, assessed during inhospital stay

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Mortality rate

    Inhospital or during follow-up, exclude the discharge from hospital against doctors' suggestions.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Level of coagulation indexes.

    Blood samples were measured by coagulation function test during follow-up

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Change in resting oxygen saturation

    Answer question through telephone or other communication

    Measured: 2 years

  3. Value of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion

    Measured by echocardiology from follow-up

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)

    Measured during follow-up

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Anticoagulant Solutions, No anticoagulant solutions and Anticoagulant management in people with Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Connection, run by Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital 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 2 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 19 Feb 2020. 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 Rong Liufu, M.D. (020-83827812, liufurong103@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO) (time frame: 2 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 19 Feb 2020.
