About this study

Official title: A Prospective Controlled Study for the Treatment Effect of Different Intervention Strategies for Pediatric Mitral Regurgitation--A Multicenter Prospective Cohort Study of Innovative Strategies for Mitral Valve Repair

The goal of this observational study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a 3-steps standardized repair-oriented strategy with annuloplasty only in pediatric patients with mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read more
  • Can 3-steps standardized repair-oriented strategy improve both left ventricular and mitral valve function in pediatric patients with mild to moderate mitral valve regurgitation?
  • Can surgical complications caused by the 3-steps standardized repair-oriented strategy be non-inferior (clinically acceptable) to annuloplasty only? Participants will be assigned to either the Standardized Group (including subvalvular apparatus rehabilitation (leaflet plication if chordae absent on leaflet margin, mal-connected chordae resection if chordae mal-connected to leaflet body, papillary muscle splitting if short chordae or dysplastic or fused papillary muscle etc.), leaflets repair (leaflets plication if functional leaflet prolapse, leaflet cleft closure and patch augmentation for anatomical leaflet defect, etc.) and annuloplasty (posterior annuloplasty for annular dilatation and shallow leaflet coaptation, etc.)) or the Annuloplasty Group (annuloplasty only during mitral repair surgeries. Additionally, echocardiography, electrocardiograms, and measurements of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) were conducted before the initiation of surgery and at 1 months, 3 months, and 6 months after mitral repair.

Researchers will compare the Standardized Group and the Annuloplasty Group to see if the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation, as assessed by echocardiography after 6 months of surgery, is lower in the former than in the latter.

What is being measured

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

  1. the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation

    During follow-up visits, echocardiographic examination is conducted to measure the degree of mitral valve regurgitation. If it falls within the moderate to severe range, it is recorded as a recurrence.

    Measured: after 6 months of surgery

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Improvement in symptoms

    Based on patient and caregiver descriptions, if symptoms such as chest discomfort, shortness of breath, and delayed development show improvement following physical activity, it is recorded as an improvement in symptoms.

    Measured: after 6 months of surgery

  2. Change in left ventricular function

    Based on the echocardiogram, measurements are taken for left ventricular ejection fraction.

    Measured: after 6 months of surgery

  3. Change in left ventricular function

    Based on the echocardiogram, measurements are taken for left ventricular end-diastolic diameter.

    Measured: after 6 months of surgery

  4. NT-proBNP level

    The trend in NT-proBNP levels.

    Measured: after 6 months of surgery

  5. Incidence rate of surgical complications

    Incidence rate of surgical complications, including infection, low cardiac output, arrhythmia, cardiac insufficiency, delayed sternal closure, thromboembolism and bleeding events, neurological complications(stroke, seizures and intracerebral hemorrhage).

    Measured: after 6 months of surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Congenital Mitral Insufficiency, run by China National Center for Cardiovascular Diseases at 1 site in China.

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 10 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 15 Sep 2023. 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 China. 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 Kai Ma, PhD (+86 15901428497, drmakaifw@yahoo.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

the recurrence rate of moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation (time frame: after 6 months of surgery). 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 15 Sep 2023.
