About this study

Official title: Surgical Ablation of Ganglion Plexuses of the Pulmonary Artery in Patients With Valvular Heart Disease, Complicated by High Pulmonary Hypertension May Reduce Its Degree.

The aim of this prospective randomized study was to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the original ablation procedures ganglion plexus pulmonary artery with simultaneous correction of valvular heart disease, complicated by high pulmonary hypertension.

Read the detailed description

Pulmonary hypertension is a serious condition, the severity of which is often underestimated. About 10% of significant mitral heart disease complicated by high pulmonary hypertension (more than 60 mm Hg). Up to 70% of patients retain this level of pulmonary hypertension after successful treatment of heart valve disease.The quality of life of patients with persistent high pulmonary hypertension is significantly lower than in patients with mild to moderate degree. Risks of recurrent tricuspid insufficiency and right ventricular dysfunction is much higher. Despite the use of modern drug therapy of pulmonary hypertension in patients with valvular heart disease satisfactory clinical effect is achieved only in a small number of patients. Our team proposed a new original method of ablation of the pulmonary artery with simultaneous open cardiac surgery correction of mitral heart disease in patients with high baseline pulmonary hypertension.

What participants receive

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

  • Surgical ablation of ganglion plexus pulmonary artery.Procedure or surgery

    Also called surgical ablation, radiofrequency ablation

    Performed ablation zone pulmonary artery bifurcation, at 2mm proximal direction and a distal direction in the left and right branches of the pulmonary artery using the electrophysiological device Atricure.

  • mitral valve surgeryProcedure or surgery

    Also called mitral valve repair, mitral velve replacement

    The standard procedure for mitral regurgitation or stenosis, the procedures will be a valve repair or mitral valve replacement, depending upon the particular morphological condition of the mitral valve.

Study groups in NCT02374229
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
The study groupExperimentalProcedure: mitral valve surgery, surgical ablation of ganglion plexus pulmonary artery. Will include 15 patients with mitral stenosis or insufficiency subject to correction, complicated by high pulmonary hypertension. During the operation, a standard surgical procedure for the treatment of heart valve disease will be complemented by the ablation zone of bifurcation of the pulmonary artery, surgical ablation of ganglion plexus pulmonary artery. For mitral regurgitation or stenosis, the procedures will be a valve repair or mitral valve replacement. Procedure will be considered effective in the face of declining average pressure in the pulmonary artery for invasive monitoring of 10mm Hg and more.
Receives: Procedure: Surgical ablation of ganglion plexus pulmonary artery.; Procedure: mitral valve surgery
The control groupActive comparatorProcedure:mitral valve surgery. Will include 15 patients with mitral stenosis or insufficiency subject to correction, complicated by high pulmonary hypertension. Patients will be made standard procedure correction mitral valve disease without pulmonary artery denervation. For mitral regurgitation or stenosis, the procedures will be a valve repair or mitral valve replacement only.
Receives: Procedure: mitral valve surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Death of the patient

    Measured: 3 weeks

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Mean pulmonary artery pressure in invasive monitoring

    Patients will be installed catheter Swan-Ganz in the intensive care unit for invasive measurement of pulmonary artery pressure.

    Measured: 3weeks; 6 and 12 months after the procedure.

  2. Exercise tolerance (the 6 minute walk test (6MWD)

    the 6 minute walk test (6MWD)

    Measured: 3weeks; 6 and 12 months after the procedure.

  3. quality of life

    SF-36 questionnaire

    Measured: 3weeks; 6 and 12 months after the procedure.

  4. adverse events

    complications associated with the procedure plexus ganglion ablation, such as perforation of the pulmonary artery, pulmonary artery dissection, pulmonary embolism.

    Measured: 3 weeks

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Surgical ablation of ganglion plexus pulmonary artery. and mitral valve surgery in people with Pulmonary Hypertension, run by Meshalkin Research Institute of Pathology of Circulation at 1 site in Russia.

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 1 inclusion and 3 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 23 Sep 2015. 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 Russia. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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

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 Aleksandr V Bogachev-Prokophiev, MD PhD (+79137539546, bogachev.prokophiev@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Death of the patient (time frame: 3 weeks). 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 23 Sep 2015.
