IABP recipientExperimentalReferred for clinically indicated right heart catheterization with intervention of IABP placement prior to LVAD surgery.
Receives: Device: Conductance catheterization
ControlExperimentalControl subjects undergoing left heart catheterization with an LV ejection fraction > 50%, and without a history of heart failure symptoms who did not receive IABP therapy were enrolled.
Receives: Device: Conductance catheterization

What is being measured

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

  1. Impact of Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Activation on Left Ventricular Stroke Work.

    We will be measuring left ventricular stroke work using a conductance catheter before and immediately after activation of an intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Left ventricular stroke work is quantified as the product of left ventricular pressure and volume. Conductance catheters are the primary method available for clinical measurement of left ventricular volume and pressure.

    Measured: 24 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Conductance catheterization in people with Heart Failure, run by Tufts Medical Center 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 14 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 31 May 2017. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 May 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Impact of Intra-aortic Balloon Pump Activation on Left Ventricular Stroke Work. (time frame: 24 hours). 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 31 May 2017.
