About this study

This study aims to compare a semi-automatic 3D echocardiography-based left atrial appendix occlusion procedure planning with FEops, with other imaging modalities for evaluating the left atrial appendage dimensions and device prediction (sizing, deformation) pre-left atrial appendix occlusion , including the current "gold standard", CT- based FEops HEARTguideTM left atrial appendix occlusion procedure planning. A number of pre-specified endpoints are defined for analyzing this new approach.

Read the detailed description

First, the investigator will compare dimensions of left atrial appendix ostium and device landing zone, and the predicted device size and deformation based on the gold standard (CT-based analysis by FEops HEARTguideTM, with ostium and landing zone dimensions, predicted device size (based on the device sizing chart) and device deformation predicted by FEops analysis of the 3D echo images. Complementary, dimensions and device size prediction derived from 3D echo-derived FEops analysis, will also be compared to measurements and device size prediction obtained from pre-procedural CT images and the 2D per-procedural transesophageal echocardiographic evaluation.

Secondly, the process of echo image analysis by FEops will be tested by evaluating the percentage of cases where FEops anatomical analysis is successful in providing a complete report. Based on the acquired 3D echo data, case processing is considered successful if ostium and landing zone diameters (minimum, maximum, mean and perimeter-based diameter), and device sizing, together with predicted device deformation, can be reported. The number of cases where only partial reporting is possible, as well the cases where no reporting is feasible, will also be recorded. If case analysis is not successful, the reason for failure will be reported.

What is being measured

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

  1. Level of agreement between dimensions (minimal, maximum, mean and perimeter-based diameter of ostium and landing zone) of FEops analysis based on 3D echocar-diography vs FEops analysis based on CT

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Level of agreement between predicted device size by FEops analysis based on 3D echo vs FEops analysis based on CT

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

  2. Level of agreement between predicted device deformation by analysis based on 3D echo vs FEops analysis based on CT

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

  3. Level of agreement between dimensions (minimal, maximum, mean and perimeter-based diameter of ostium and landing zone) of FEops analysis based on 3D echo vs analysis based on 2D measurements on CT and peri-procedural echo

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

  4. Level of agreement between predicted device size by FEops analysis based on 3D echo vs FEops analysis based on 2D measurements on CT and peri-procedural echo

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

  5. The percentage of 3D echocardiography cases sent to FEops, where data on ostium and landing zone diameters, and device size prediction/deformation, can successfully be provided (descriptive)

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

  6. The percentage of 3D echocardiography cases sent to FEops, where data on ostium and landing zone diameters, and device size prediction/deformation, can only be par-tially, or are failed to be provided (descriptive)

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

  7. Most frequent reasons for failure to provide complete reporting after FEops analysis based on 3D echo images

    Measured: DURING PROCEDURE

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of ATRIAL APPENDAGE CLOSURE for ATRIAL FIBRILLATION, run by Universitair Ziekenhuis Brussel at 2 sites in Belgium.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Dec 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Belgium. 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 Stijn Lochy, MD (03224776008, stijn.lochy@uzbrussel.be), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Level of agreement between dimensions (minimal, maximum, mean and perimeter-based diameter of ostium and landing zone) of FEops analysis based on 3D echocar-diography vs FEops analysis based on CT (time frame: DURING PROCEDURE). 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 12 Dec 2023.
