About this study

This study will evaluate the use of x-ray fused with MR images as an imaging tool to help guide catheter tools during diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization procedures.

Read the detailed description

Cardiovascular interventional procedures are currently conducted under the guidance of X-ray fluoroscopy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide increased soft tissue information about the cardiovascular system. By combining the familiar X-ray environment with superior magnetic resonance imaging, the investigator hopes to enhance and expand the capabilities of cardiac catheterization techniques.

The investigator will conduct cardiac catheterization procedures using XFM guidance in pediatric research patients who are undergoing medically necessary procedures. The investigator aims to decrease the exposure of these patients to the routine hazards of ionizing radiation and contrast exposure compared to the standard of care approach.

What participants receive

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

  • XFM guidanceProcedure or surgery

    X-ray images and MRI roadmaps are aligned, during the medically indicated catheterization procedure, both conventional X-ray and investigational XFM images are displayed side-by-side. The operator may choose to be guided by either.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing XFM guidance in people with Congenital Heart Defect, run by Joshua Kanter 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 2 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 6 Feb 2024. 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.

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?

Radiation exposure measurement (time frame: At the end of each catheterization procedure through study completion,up to 8 years.). 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 NCT02737579, which also lists 18 linked publications.

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 6 Feb 2024.
