Pediatric REPlAcement of the PulmonaRy ValvE in Tetralogy of Fallot - (TOFandPVR)
Pediatric REPlAcement of the PulmonaRy ValvE in Tetralogy of Fallot - The PREPARE-TOF Study
Study Overview
Detailed Description
The purpose of this research study is to gather information on adolescents and young adults to help understand and improve the lives of patients with TOF.
Some patients diagnosed with TOF will have a procedure called pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) and some will not. PVR is done for valves that are too damaged to be repaired. This requires a surgeon or an expert in a procedure called cardiac catheterization to replace the damaged pulmonary valve with a valve made of tissue or a mechanical valve. Multiple studies in adult TOF patients have suggested that PVR may lessen many clinical symptoms but no one is sure if it truly does. There is little information about PVR in adolescence but it is thought that lessening the amount of leakage of the pulmonary valve at a young age may avoid future complications such as right heart failure or abnormal beats of your heart. There is no agreement among cardiologists, surgeons or other healthcare providers as to whether PVR truly helps avoid complications in the future and if it does, when PVR should be done. Using the information in this study, we hope to find out if PVR in adolescents is helpful in both the short and long term.
The Investigators believe the results of this study will help provide doctors with enough information to support a future large scale research study to further evaluate the outcomes PVR. This study will involve randomization to either the PVR or no PVR cohort, medical records review, exercise test and Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) , and questionnaires.

Participation Criteria
Eligibility Criteria
Ages Eligible for Study
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
Description
Inclusion Criteria:
- Males or females with repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), currently between 13 and 21 years of age.
- On clinical Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) : Right Ventricular End-Diastolic Volume Index (RVEDVi) between 140 and 180 cc/m2 inclusive with Right Ventricular End-Diastolic Function (RVEF) > 40% and Left Right Ventricular End-Diastolic (LVEF ) > 50%, RV outflow tract peak velocity < 3 meters/second (if not available this will be skipped); there will be no indexed Right Ventricular end-systolic volume (RVESVi) criteria; by defining RVEDVi and RVEF, Investigators will be inherently defining RVESVi
- On clinical echocardiogram: RV outflow tract peak velocity < 3 meters/second (if not available this will be skipped), at least mild pulmonary insufficiency and tricuspid regurgitation with an RV pressure estimate < 1/2 systemic pressure.
- On Exercise Stress Test (EST), aerobic capacity > 60% of predicted.
- No Q-wave, R-wave, S-wave (QRS) duration criteria on ECG.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Any condition judged by the patient's physician that would cause this trial to be detrimental to the patient.
- Specific forms of TOF excluded are those with endocardial cushion defects, TOF with absent pulmonary valve and TOF with multiple aorto-pulmonary collaterals requiring unifocalization.
- Unilateral branch pulmonary artery stenosis (one lung receives < 25% of total flow)
- Contraindication to non-sedated exercise CMR (e.g. pacemaker/implanted cardioverter defibrillator); need for sedation
- If data available, moderate or greater tricuspid regurgitation on echocardiogram or CMR or Qp/Qs > 1.5
- Significant strokes/hemiplegia or inability to exercise
- Genetic syndrome/developmental delay which would make QOL and EST date uninterpretable
- Pregnancy
- Previous pulmonary valve replacement (PVR)

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Other: PVR Arm
PVR arm will undergo PVR via catheter or surgery
|
Subjects will undergo PVR via surgery or cardiac catheterization.
PVR using cardiac catheterization may require a much shorter hospital stay than traditional heart surgery.
If the valve is repaired by surgery, this will require open heart surgery to directly implant a pulmonary valve
|
No Intervention: No PVR
No PVR group will continue with medical management

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Number of Participants Randomized to PVR Via Catheter or Surgery
Time Frame: 2-3 years
|
Participants will be randomized by computer by the statistician at the Data Coordinating Center (DCC) at Northwestern University (NU) who will maintain the schedule; this will be a 2:1 randomization of PVR to no-PVR.
There will be no blinding and the assignment will not be concealed from the investigators.
There will be no stratifications within each group.

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Effects of PVR on Biventricular Strain
Time Frame: 12-18 months
|
Mechanisms of the effects of PVR in the definitive trial will be measured by obtaining preliminary data on biventricular strain.
|
12-18 months
|
Quality of Life (QOL)
Time Frame: 12-18 months
|
Quality of life will be measured using the Pediatric Cardiac Quality of Life Inventory (PCQLI) - to measure quality of life.
The PCQLI has been used for over 10 years and is a validated quality of life metric.
The PCQLI measures disease-specific, pediatric health related quality of life and generates 3 scores, namely, total, disease impact subscale, and psychosocial impact subscale.
Each subscale score has a maximum of 50 points, and their sum yields the total score.
Higher scores represent better perceived pediatric health related quality of life
|
12-18 months
|
Exercise Performances
Time Frame: 12-18 months
|
This will be determined by exercise test performed to assess parameters such as oxygen consumption (VO2) at ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT) and normalized for age
|
12-18 months
|
Prevalence of Arrhythmias
Time Frame: 12-18 months
|
This will be determined by reviewing Holter monitoring data to assess the prevalence of arrhythmias.
This will also provide the endpoints for the larger, longer term trial
|
12-18 months
|
Effects of Pulmonary Valve Replacement (PVR) on Diffuse Fibrosis
Time Frame: 12-18 months
|
This will be measured by obtaining preliminary data on the difference between patients randomized to PVR and no PVR in regard to diffuse fibrosis (DF).
|
12-18 months
|
Effects of PVR on Exercise in the Magnetic Resonance (MR) Scanner
Time Frame: 12-18 months
|
Mechanisms of the effects of PVR in the definitive trial will be measured by obtaining preliminary data on the difference between patients randomized to PVR and no PVR in regard to performing exercise cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
|
12-18 months
