About this study

Official title: The Effect of Mechanical Ventilation on the Occurrence of Myocardial Ischemia in Patients Undergoing Endoscopic Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (Endo-CABG): a Pilot Study

The goal of the proposed pilot study is to determine which method can detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined timepoints during endo-CABG. Additionally, the investigators want to examine the influence of mechanical ventilation on the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing endo-CABG.

Read the detailed description

CABG is the most effective therapy for patients suffering from coronary artery disease, a condition which annually affects 126 million people worldwide. During this surgery, cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) takes over the function of the heart and lungs. As a result of the emergence of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) (e.g. endoscopic-CABG), peripheral CPB with femoral arterial cannulation became the most commonly utilized strategy. However, the use of retrograde arterial perfusion is not without risk. It may result in the upper body and coronary arteries being perfused with deoxygenated blood. The hypoxemia will induce myocardial ischemia and this can harm the cardiac myocytes. A solution for this inconvenience is still lacking. Literature reports that establishing adequate ventilation support should help overcome this phenomenon. However, this approach has not yet been investigated in a clinical trial. In general, this phenomenon is not well recognized in the typical surgical setting, and limited research has been done.

The goal of the proposed pilot study is to determine which method can detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined timepoints during endo-CABG. Additionally, the investigators want to examine the influence of mechanical ventilation on the occurrence of myocardial ischemia in patients undergoing endo-CABG.

What participants receive

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

  • Continued ventilationProcedure or surgery

    Ventilation is continued from going on CPB until clamping of the ascending aorta with tidal volume 3ml/kg ideal body weight, Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) 50%, respiratory rate 5/min and Inspiratory:Expiratory (I/E) ratio 1/2.

  • Discontinued ventilationProcedure or surgery

    Ventilation is discontinued after going on CPB and lungs are exposed to atmospheric pressure

Blood will be drawn: * At baseline: before general anaesthesia * After start of heart-lung machine * After clamping the aorta * Before unclamping the aorta * After the operation * 5 h after clamping the aorta * 12 hours after clamping the aorta * 24 hours after aortic clamping * 48h after clamping the aorta * 72 hours after clamping the aorta

What is being measured

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

  1. The detection of myocardial ischemia using Cardiac Troponin T (cTn-T)

    If the value of Cardiac Troponin T (cTn-T) exceeds 14 ng/L, then cTn-T is able to detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined time points.

    Measured: Until 72 hours after clamping the aorta

  2. The detection of myocardial ischemia using Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (hFABP)

    If the value of Heart-type Fatty Acid Binding Protein (hFABP) exceeds 6 ng/L, then hFABP is able to detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined time points.

    Measured: Until 5 hours after clamping the aorta

  3. The detection of myocardial ischemia using Creatine Kinase Myocardial Band (CK-MB)

    If the value of Creatine Kinase Myocardial Band (CK-MB) exceeds 6.2 µg/L, then CK-MB is able to detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined time points.

    Measured: Until 48 hours after clamping the aorta

  4. The detection of myocardial ischemia using Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS)

    Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) measurements include a malondialdehyde assay to assess the lipid peroxidation, an Oxystat test to analyse the total peroxide levels and a protein carbonyl assay to assess the protein damage due to cardiomyocyte dysfunction. Additionally a biopsy will be taken to analyze pro- and anti-oxidants. If a significant increase in lipid peroxidation, total peroxide levels, protein damage and/or pro- and anti-oxidants in the ventilation group compared to the control group is present, then ROS is able to detect myocardial ischemia at the predefined time points.

    Measured: Until unclamping the aorta (on average until 64 minutes after clamping the aorta)

  5. The occurence of hypoxemia using blood gas measurement

    If the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) is lower than 60 mmHg, then hypoxemia is present.

    Measured: Until the end of surgery (on average until 203 minutes after the start of the surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Continued ventilation and Discontinued ventilation in people with Myocardial Ischemia and Hypoxia, run by Jessa Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 4 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 21 Oct 2022. 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 Belgium. 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?

The detection of myocardial ischemia using Cardiac Troponin T (cTn-T) (time frame: Until 72 hours after clamping the aorta). The study lists 5 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?
