Trial summary

The use of minimally invasive cardiac surgery has progressed over the last 5-10 years to allow access to the heart through a small incision in the right chest. This avoids the use of a sternotomy incision through the bone in the front of the chest. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Percutaneous Superior Venae Cava Cannulation Clamping on Cerebral Near Infrared Spectroscopy During Minimally Invasive Mitral Valve Surgery

The use of minimally invasive cardiac surgery has progressed over the last 5-10 years to allow access to the heart through a small incision in the right chest. This avoids the use of a sternotomy incision through the bone in the front of the chest. The benefits of such an approach are cosmetic (smaller incision not easily visible) and faster recovery. The minimally invasive approach also eliminates the risk of sternal wound infection. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery however poses additional challenges; one of the biggest is access to the large blood vessels which need to be cannulated to allow the heart lung machine to function. In conventional surgery, these vessels are easily accessed as they are entering or leaving the heart. In minimally invasive surgery, the cannula are placed into easily accessible arteries and veins, traditionally the femoral vessels. These vessels are smaller than those by the heart and so require smaller cannula, which provide challenges to the heart lung machine. One way around this is to use more cannulae and so cannulation of a vein in the neck is also performed. This cannula however, has been associated with neck hematoma, tearing of the vein and blood loss. While placement of the cannula in the neck is routine at LHSC now, when this surgery was first performed here 10 years ago, it was done so without the neck cannula and with no injury to patients. The purpose of this study therefore, is to more rigorously study the effect of the neck cannula on heart lung bypass, and more specifically to see if oxygen delivery to the organs, and the brain in particular is sufficient to avoid hypoxia.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mean Near Infrared Saturation of the brain

    Measure the NIRs of the brain by placeing NIRs monitoring patches on the forehead during clamped and unclamped intervention of the percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Baseline within 5 minutes of intervention then Intraoperatively during intervention.

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Mean Blood Pressure

    Measure the Mean blood pressure during clamped/unclamped Percutaneous superior vena cava line placement.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

  2. Mean mixed venous saturation (non invasive measure)

    Measure the central venous ressure during clamped/unclamped intervention of percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

  3. CPB pump flow

    Measure the pump flow during clamped/unclamped intervention of percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

  4. Vacuum Pressure

    Measure the vacum pressure during clamped/unclamped intervention of percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

  5. Venous reservoir level

    Measure the venous reservoir level during clamped/unclamped intervention of percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

  6. Arterial blood gas

    Measure arterial blood gases at baseline at after each intervention clamped(20 min)/unclamped (20 min) of percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Initial, after first intervention arm(20 min), at end of study period (40 min)

  7. Surgical visualization score

    Score of 1-4 1=excellent visualization 4= poor visualization.

    Measured: Baseline immediately before intervention period , end of each intervention period

  8. cerebral perfusion pressure

    Measure the cerebral perfusion pressure (MAP-CVP)during clamped/unclamped intervention of percutaneous superior vena cava line.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

  9. Central Venous Pressure

    Central venous pressure measured in the superior vena cava.

    Measured: Intraoperatively during intervention.(every 5 minutes during 40 minute intervention period).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing PSVC line clamped in people with Mitral Regurgitation, run by London Health Sciences Centre Research Institute OR Lawson Research Institute of St. Joseph's at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 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 15 May 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 Canada. 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?

Mean Near Infrared Saturation of the brain (time frame: Baseline within 5 minutes of intervention then Intraoperatively during intervention.). 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 NCT01166841, 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 15 May 2013.
