Trial summary

Right ventricular (RV) failure after cardiac surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality, but is hard to diagnose with conventional echocardiographic means. RV dysfunction may be associated with hepatic congestion, which may have an effect on portal veinous flow, but this has not been extensively. Read more about this study

About this study

Right ventricular (RV) failure after cardiac surgery is associated with morbidity and mortality, but is hard to diagnose with conventional echocardiographic means. RV dysfunction may be associated with hepatic congestion, which may have an effect on portal veinous flow, but this has not been extensively. The investigators aimed determine whether an increased pulsatility in the portal venous flow was associated with RV dysfunction, after cardiac surgery at risk of RV dysfunction: mitral and tricuspid valve procedures.

Read the detailed description

In cardiac surgical patients, RV dysfunction is associated with organ hypoperfusion and venous congestion leading to increased morbidity and mortality.

Non-invasive methods used to assess RV function are 2D-echocardiographic measurement of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), RV ejection fraction (EF), RV fractional area change (FAC), 3D assessment of RV function, tissue Doppler assessment of velocities, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Though MRI is the gold standard method to assess RV function, it cannot be used in the perioperative period.

In the present prospective observational study, The investigators investigated the association between the pattern of portal venous flow and RV function as assessed by echocardiography in the postoperative period.

What is being measured

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

    1. systolic dysfunction (TAPSE below 16 mm or S wave below 9.5 cm/s)
    2. RV fractional area change below 35%
    3. End-diastole diameter ratio between RV and left ventricle > 0.6
    4. Ratio between S and D wave or inverse D wave in supra-hepatic veins

    Measured: First 24 hours post cardiac surgery

  2. Portal flow measured by Doppler

    flow pulsatility is assessed with the formula = 100 x (Vmax-Vmin)/Vmax. Time frame: First 24 hours post cardiac surgery

    Measured: First 24 hours post cardiac surgery

  3. Concordance of pulsatile flow assessment

    Concordance of repeated measurements of the venous portal flow Time frame: First 24 hours post cardiac surgery

    Measured: First 24 hours post cardiac surgery

  4. Concordance of RV dysfunction measurements

    Concordance of repeated measurements of :

    1. systolic dysfunction (TAPSE below 16 mm or S wave below 9.5 cm/s)
    2. RV fractional area change below 35%
    3. End-diastole diameter ratio between RV and left ventricle > 0.6
    4. Ratio between S and D wave or inverse D wave in supra-hepatic veins

    Measured: First 24 hours post cardiac surgery

  5. Preoperative RV dysfunction

    As defined

    1. systolic dysfunction (TAPSE below 16 mm or S wave below 9.5 cm/s)
    2. RV fractional area change below 35%
    3. End-diastole diameter ratio between RV and left ventricle > 0.6
    4. Ratio between S and D wave or inverse D wave in supra-hepatic veins

    Measured: 30 days before cardiac surgery

  6. Acute kidney injury

    defined by KDIGO criteria as creatininemia elevation above > 26 micromol/L during the first 48 hours or +50% during the first week, oliguria with urine output less than 0.5 mL/kg/h during 6 hours.

    Measured: one week after surgery

  7. Cholestasis

    Conjugate bilirubin elevation above 12 mmol/L

    Measured: one week after surgery
