About this study

Official title: Results of Combined Antegrade and Retrograde Versurs Antegrade Cardioplegia in Complex Coronary Artery Bypass Surgeries

During coronary artery bypass surgery, myocardial protection, especially of the right ventricle, may be inadequate in the presence of severe coronary lesions that obstruct the antegrade delivery of cold cardioplegia

Read the detailed description

Asymetric myocardial cooling has been reported to yield postoperative right ventricular dysfunction, which may contribute to postoperative morbidity and mortality. Retrograde coronary sinus perfusion was introduced in 1956 to facilitate surgery involving the aortic valve. This technique was introduced as a means of myocardial protection for coronary artery bypass surgery in 1967 and has recently received renewed interest. An innovative method of delivering retrograde cardioplegia through the right atrium was recently developed by Fabiani and associates. This technique has obviated the need to directly cannulate the coronary sinus and thus has eliminated concerns regarding coronary sinus rupture due to cannulation, and concerns of inadequate right ventricular perfusion. In contrast to antegrade delivery, retrograde delivery of cardioplegia through the right atrium is not subject to the problem of limited distribution in the presence of coronary artery occlusive disease and thus allows more uniform cooling of the left ventricle,so the study will compare the results of combined antegrade and retrograde versurs antegrade cardioplegia in complex coronary artery bypass surgeries

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing retrograde cardioplegia protection in people with Coronary Artery Disease Left Main, 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 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2020. 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 Elhussein M abdelmottaleb, Ph.D (00201003873076, sahs_romeo90@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

myocardial function (time frame: two years). 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 Jun 2020.
