About this study

During percutaneous cardiovascular intervention, temporary cardiac stimulation may be required. Usually this stimulation is generated via a temporary pacing catheter. In order to reduce the complexity of the procedure, a new stimulation strategy has been developed: the "Direct Wire Pacing technique".In this approach, the cardiac stimulation is provided via the guidewire connected to an external pacemaker.

Previous study demonstrated the superiority of the new technique compared to the former. However this technique is likely to generate electrical pain, risk of bleeding for the patient and risk of blood exposure accident for the operators. This is why the medical device ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE has been developed. This device integrates a pacing function to the introducer and the guidewire used. The "Direct Wire Pacing technique" is simplified, secured and more reproducible.

Read the detailed description

During percutaneous cardiovascular interventions such as Transcatheter Heart Valve or coronary intervention, temporary cardiac stimulation may be required. Usually this stimulation is generated via a temporary pacing catheter in the right ventricle. This procedure requires an additional venous access and the insertion of the stimulation catheter, which are both likely to generate complications. In order to reduce the complexity and increase the safety of the procedure, a new stimulation strategy has been developed: the "Direct Wire Pacing technique". In this approach, the specific venous access and the implantation of a stimulation catheter are avoided. The cardiac stimulation is provided via the guidewire inserted into the left ventricle or into the coronary arteries. This guidewire is connected to an external Pacemaker using an alligator clamp (Cathode). The Pacemaker anode is also connected using a clamp attached to a needle piercing the subcutaneous tissue, obtaining a closed electrical circuit. This technique was validated during previous studies in the TAVI context through two registries and one randomized controlled trial. This study demonstrated the superiority of the new technique by showing a reduction of the procedural duration, radiation exposure and costs; with similar efficacy and safety. However the subcutaneous needle insertion is likely to generate electrical pain, risk of bleeding for the patient and risk of blood exposure accident for the operators. This subcutaneous anode increases the stimulation threshold (mA) which can cause stimulation failures. Moreover, several technical difficulties preclude general adoption by the scientific community. This is why the medical device ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE has been developed. This device integrates a pacing function to the introducer and the guidewire used during percutaneous cardiovascular interventions. The guidewire then behaves like an intra-cardiac cathode. Thanks to the device, the complex manipulation of needles and clamps during the intervention are avoided as well as pole inversions. The "Direct Wire Pacing technique" used during the coronary and structural interventions is thus simplified, secured and more reproducible.

What is being measured

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

  1. To assess the peri procedural safety of ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE device used for temporary cardiac pacing during percutaneous cardiovascular interventions, by radial and femoral routes of access.

    The device safety is assessed through the occurrence of bleeding complications at the access site where the ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE was used, including: Hematoma formation (EASY Classification) and Access-site Bleeding (BARC classification).

    Measured: during intervention

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. To evaluate the occurrence of Radial Artery Occlusion

    RAO evaluated by a radial artery Doppler and by a reverse Allen test

    Measured: at discharge and 1 month

  2. To evaluate the occurrence of allergic or adverse tissue reactions

    Outcome evaluated through the clinical examination of the puncture site.

    Measured: at discharge and 1 month

  3. To establish the efficacy of the ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE device

    Outcome evaluated through the capture in the surface electrocardiogram : each spike delivered on the guidewire is follow by its hemodynamic effect.

    Measured: during intervention

  4. To evaluate the performance of the ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE device

    Performance evaluated through the stimulation threshold (mA) measured with the external pacemaker

    Measured: during intervention

  5. To evaluate the impact of the ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE use on the TAVI procedure duration.

    Procedure duration is defined between the first vascular puncture and the last introducer removal and compared to the EASY TAVI study data

    Measured: during intervention

  6. To evaluate the patient comfort with ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE use

    Confort evaluated using the "Echelle Visuelle Analogique de la douleur" from 0 to 10: 0 being the absence of pain and 10 being unbearable pain.

    Measured: during intervention

  7. To assess the user's overall impression of the ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE device and use.

    Outcome evaluated by a satisfaction questionnaire developed by Electroducer, composed of four questions and a free comment section.

    Measured: during intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Electroducer Sleeve in people with Coronary Disease and Valve Heart Disease, run by Electroducer at 1 site in France.

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 6 inclusion and 5 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 1 Mar 2021. 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 France. 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?

To assess the peri procedural safety of ELECTRODUCER SLEEVE device used for temporary cardiac pacing during percutaneous cardiovascular interventions, by radial and femoral routes of access. (time frame: during intervention). 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?
