Interventional Treatment of Residual Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients After Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

June 1, 2016 updated by: Alexander Edemskiy, Novosibirsk Scientific Research Institute for Circulatory Pathology

Randomized Pilot Trial of Interventional Treatment of Residual Pulmonary Hypertension in Patients After Pulmonary Thromboendarterectomy

The study evaluates the technique of non-drug treatment of residual pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The best strategy of treatment patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension is pulmonary thromboendarterectomy. In 5-30% of cases after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy residual pulmonary hypertension is persisted. The technique of radiofrequency pulmonary artery denervation in patients with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (type I) is known and was assessed during clinical investigation. In this study radiofrequency pulmonary artery denervation technique may be applied in patients with residual pulmonary hypertension after pulmonary thromboendarterectomy (type IV)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: PADN treatment

Procedure/Surgery: Right heart catheterization, Radiofrequency pulmonary artery denervation using following devices:

  1. Ablation catheter
  2. Carto 3, Carto RMT, Stereotaxis
  3. Swan-Ganz catheter
Radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary artery will be performed with standard electrophysiological catheter and non-fluoroscopic 3D-navigation system. Right heart catheterization (thermodilution method with Swan-Ganz catheter) will be performed before and after procedure. The radiofrequent impact will be performed 2mm after pulmonary artery bifurcation in both right and left main pulmonary artery branches. The radiofrequent impact will be performed at temperature 40-42 C, up to 12 watts and 60 second duration in every ablation point under impedance control.

  • PADN
4MM RF CONDUCTR (MULTI-CURVE) SERIES ABLATION CATHETER Standart procedure for radiofrequency ablation: Radiofrequency ablation of pulmonary artery will be performed with standard electrophysiological catheter and non-fluoroscopic 3D-navigation system. Right heart catheterization (thermodilution method with Swan-Ganz catheter) will be performed before and after procedure. The radiofrequent impact will be performed 2mm after pulmonary artery bifurcation in both right and left main pulmonary artery branches. The radiofrequent impact will be performed at temperature 40-42 C, up to 12 watts and 60 second duration in every ablation point under impedance control.

Standart procedure of right catheterization:

  • punction of right jugular vein with Seldinger technique, introducer placement
  • insertion of Swan-Ganz catheter via introducer in jugular vein under fluoroscopic control and wave form of monitor's curve.
  • positioning of swan-ganz catheter in pulmonary artery
  • direct central hemodynamics measurements: systolic/diastolic/mean pulmonary artery pressure, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure, cardiac output (thermodilution technique)
  • calculating of indirect parameters (pulmonary vascular resistance)
