Temporary Biventricular Pacing (BIPACE)

November 10, 2017 updated by: University of Pennsylvania

Hemodynamic Effect of Temporary Biventricular Pacing After Mitral and/or Tricuspid Valve Surgery in Patients With Preoperative Biventricular Dysfunction

The hypothesis of this study is that temporary biventricular pacing will improve hemodynamic performance in patients with right ventricular dysfunction after open cardiac chamber cardiac surgery.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: left ventricular epicardial pacing lead
Enrolled patients will have a temporary left ventricular epicardial pacing lead placed in addition to the standard right ventricular and right atrial temporary epicardial pacing leads after open cardiac chamber cardiac surgery.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Right ventricular function of the heart
Time Frame: 24 hours after cardiac surgery completion
Right Ventricular function is evaluated through combined echocardiographic interventricular synchrony variables which include pulmonary artery catheter derived cardiac index, pulmonary artery (PA) pressure, central venous pressure (CVP), CVP versus PA diastolic pressure, and systolic blood pressure.
24 hours after cardiac surgery completion
