About this study

Official title: Impact of Pocket Revision on the Rate of Infection and Other Complications in Patients Requiring Pocket Manipulation for Generator Replacement and/or Lead Replacement or Revision: A Prospective Randomized Study

To determine the effect of scar tissue removal on the rate of infection and any other complications such as bleeding in patients with an ICD or pacemaker who have the device generator or leads replaced or repositioned.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized, prospective, single-blind study that evaluates the effect of removal of scar tissue during pacemaker/ICD pocket revision on infection and complications. Subjects will be randomly assigned to either removal of the scar tissue surrounding the implanted device during device replacement or to device replacement without removal of this tissue. Subjects will be followed for one year post-procedure for the occurrence of infection, bleeding/hematoma, or other complications.

What participants receive

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

  • ICD/pacemaker pocket revisionProcedure or surgery

    Pocket revision consists of complete removal of the fibrous capsule surrounding the device and leads

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing ICD/pacemaker pocket revision in people with Infection, run by Dhanunjaya Lakkireddy, MD, FACC at 1 site in United States.

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 7 inclusion and 6 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 10 Jan 2013. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Oral temperature, edema/redness/drainage and/or severity of pain at incision site, presence of chills, reported fever (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00599261, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 10 Jan 2013.
