Long Term Results of 450 Percutaneous Closures of PDA in a Single Center

August 21, 2013 updated by: Rambam Health Care Campus

Percutaneous closure is one of the methods used to treat, among other congenital heart disorder, Persistent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) in children and adults. During the years 1998-2013 four hundred and fifty patients were catheterized in the department of pediatric cardiology and congenital heart diseases in Rambam health care campus, using various devices.

In this retrospective research, the investigators analyze data from patients' medical files, to estimate and define the correlation between the patients' demographic and morphologic data to the type and size of chosen closure device.

Aim of study:

To create an algorithm that can be used to choose the proper device for percutaneous closure of the PDA, based on the characteristics of the patient and the PDA type.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Detailed Description

The investigators analyze the demographic characteristics of patients before the procedure (Age, gender, weight, height, co-morbidities etc.), the type and characteristics of PDA and the chosen device, success and failure rates of the procedure, and adverse effects.

The data is taken from patients' medical files - based on medical reports regarding physical examination, blood tests and imaging studies including cineangiograms and echo-doppler studies.

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

Design Details

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Success of implantation
Time Frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam
due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.
one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
residual shunt
Time Frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam
due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013) and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.
one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Early and late Adverse effects
Time Frame: one day, 10 days and a year after PDA closure and then last check-up exam
hemolysis, bleeding, infections ect. due to the fact that the research is retrospective and refers to a period of 15 years (1998-2013)and the fact that some patients had a check-up exam from time to time - the investigators have decided to include in this research the last check-up exam as well.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
January 1, 1998

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
