Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to look at liver stiffness with a MRI sequence called Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). The study will let the investigators know whether the subject's liver is normal or has increased stiffness. Increased liver stiffness often means there is chronic liver disease and fibrosis.

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 100 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Primary tricuspid valvular regurgitation (tricuspid valve disease not related to a left-sided cardiac abnormality) diagnosed by echocardiography
  • Evidence of passive hepatic congestion. Patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation diagnosed at echocardiography will constitute evidence of passive hepatic congestion.
  • Patient scheduled for surgical tricuspid valvular repair or replacement.

Who cannot join

  • Contraindication for MRI (implantable devices such as cardiac pacemaker, anxiety, inability to lay supine, etc).
  • Additional conditions which may elevate their liver stiffness: hepatic fibrosis or cirrhosis, hepatic parenchymal disease (primary biliary cirrhosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, etc), acute or chronic hepatitis (viral, substance or medication induced), disorders of hepatic vasculature, biliary obstruction or disease, primary or metastatic hepatic malignancy.
  • Cannot agree to return for a follow up visit to complete the postsurgical imaging.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Liver Stiffness After Tricuspid Valvular Repair Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography

The purpose of this study is to look at liver stiffness with a MRI sequence called Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE). The study will let the investigators know whether the subject's liver is normal or has increased stiffness. Increased liver stiffness often means there is chronic liver disease and fibrosis. Increased right heart pressure and congestive heart failure are considered risk factors for development of liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis, if progressive, may lead to cirrhosis and its related complications. The increased liver stiffness may be due to a poorly functioning tricuspid valve. With this research, the investigators will be able to determine if the elevated stiffness of the liver returns to normal after the surgeon performs a repair or replacement of the tricuspid valve.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in liver stiffness between preoperative and postoperative MR elastography (MRE)

    Increased liver stiffness often means there is chronic liver disease and fibrosis.

    Measured: baseline, approximately 6 months postoperatively

  2. Change in tricuspid valve regurgitation measured by echocardiography

    Increased liver stiffness may be due to a poorly functioning tricuspid valve.

    Measured: baseline, approximately 6 months postoperatively

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Subject Functional Capacity

    Subject Functional Capacity will be measured by the Self Assessment New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification Scale. This questionnaire consists of 4 questions regarding the subject's ability to carry on physical activities. NYHA Class I = no symptoms in regular activity; NYHA Class II = Mild symptoms and slight limitation; NYHA Class III = noticeable limitations even during minimal activity; NYHA Class IV = severe limitations even while at rest.

    Measured: baseline, approximately 6 months postoperatively

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI in people with Tricuspid Valve Insufficiency, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Change in liver stiffness between preoperative and postoperative MR elastography (MRE) (time frame: baseline, approximately 6 months postoperatively). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 13 Jun 2018; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
