Pulmonary Valve Replacement in Large Right Ventricular Outflow Tract

September 29, 2009 updated by: Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris

Pulmonary Valve Replacement : Study of Comparison Between a Standard Surgical Approach With Extracorporeal Circulation and an Off-pump Hybrid Strategy.

The purpose of this study is to compare 2 techniques of pulmonary valve replacement in patients with a large right ventricular outflow tract: a standard surgical treatment using cardiopulmonary bypass versus a medico-surgical hybrid strategy without extracorporeal circulation.

Detailed Description

Pulmonary regurgitation is a common complication late after complete correction of a tetralogy of Fallot. It progressively leads to a right ventricular dilatation that has been strongly associated with ventricular arrhythmia, sudden death and right ventricular insufficiency. Pulmonary valve replacement reduces the rate of complications but the precise timing for this procedure remains unknown. Moreover, pulmonary valve replacement, even before the occurrence of symptoms, doesn't allow for a total recovery in all patients. Reasons are not known, but cardiopulmonary bypass as well as late referral to surgery have been incriminated to explain the persistence of right ventricular dysfunction after surgical valvular. Therefore, a strategy avoiding cardiopulmonary bypass could potentially preserve the right ventricular function and in the meantime reduce the hospitalisation length and morbid-mortality. For the last six years, we and others have developed a technique of percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation. Encouraging results were reported in the treatment of failing right ventricular to pulmonary artery conduit, but presents indications are limited and the innovative technique could not be offered to most of patients requiring pulmonary valve replacement. In particular, to date, conventional surgery is the only approach for patients with large pulmonary trunk over 22 mm in diameter. We had the idea of collaborating with the surgeons to try to improve the outcome of valvular in these patients. We would like to investigate a hybrid strategy in those patients with large right ventricular outflow tract inaccessible to solely transcatheter technique. The studied technique will associate a surgical pulmonary artery banding without cardiopulmonary bypass immediately followed by a transventricular or a transvenous pulmonary valve insertion using a conventional valved stent. The purpose of this randomized study is to evaluate benefits and risks of the medico-surgical hybrid strategy, and to compare both strategies hybrid approach and conventional surgery with extracorporeal circulation in term of right ventricular function recovery.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.
