About this study

Perioperative myocardial injury remains one of the most serious complications of cardiac surgery.

Numerous factors have been implicated during the pathogenesis process, including the technique of cardiac surgery, induction of cardioplegia and period of cardiac arrest.

Lactic acid is the normal endpoint of the anaerobic breakdown of glucose in the tissues. The lactate exits the cells and is transported to the liver, thus it's considered to be an indicator of ischemia as it is produced by most tissues in the human body, with the highest level of production found in muscle.

In any cardiac valve replacement surgery, patient must undergo cardiac bypass and arrest in diastole by using hyperkalemic cardioplegia solution; meanwhile the metabolism of myocardial cells is purely anaerobic.

Esmolol an ultra-short beta blocker is supposed to decrease the anaerobic insult to the myocardial cells.

Being tested
Esmolol, Potassium Cardioplegic Solution

What participants receive

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

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Esmolol and Potassium Cardioplegic Solution in people with Cardioplegia Solution Adverse Reaction, run by Kasr El Aini Hospital at 1 site in Egypt.

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 13 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 13 Mar 2020. 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 Egypt. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ayman Abougabal, PHD (00201020671408, ayman.abouagabal@kasralainy.edu.eg), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Coronary sinus lactate level immediately before declamping the aorta. (time frame: 1 hour during declamping). 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 NCT04306913, which also lists 3 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 13 Mar 2020.
