Arms & Interventions

AngioVac System

Experimental

Percutaneous removal of right-heart vegetation using the AngioVac System Cannula and Circuit

Intervention: AngioVac System (Device)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Rate of Clinical Success

Time Frame: 30 days post-procedure

The number and proportion of patients who experience clinical success, defined as a composite of 30-day survival, absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure, and absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure

Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAEs)

Time Frame: 48 hours post-procedure

The number and proportion of subjects who experience a MAE within 48 hours post-procedure. MAEs include: all-cause mortality, major bleeding, and device- or procedure-related adverse events of cardiac perforation, vascular perforation, dissection, or pericardial effusion/tamponade

Secondary Outcomes

  • Blood loss(Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure)
  • Intensive Care Unit (ICU) length of stay(Through ICU discharge, from date admitted to the ICU to date discharged from the ICU, up to 6 months post-procedure)
  • Proportion of subjects completing follow-up at 30 days post-procedure(30 days post-procedure)
  • Proportion of subjects completing follow-up at 6 months post-procedure(6 months post-procedure)
  • Absolute change in vegetation size pre-procedure to post-procedure(Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure)
  • Percent change in vegetation size pre-procedure to post-procedure(Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure)
  • Intraoperative survival(Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure)
  • In-hospital survival(Through hospital discharge, up to 6 months post-procedure)
  • 30-day survival(30 days post-procedure)
  • 6-month survival(6 months post-procedure)
  • Absence of persistent bacteremia within 7 days post-procedure(7 days post-procedure)
  • Absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure(30 days post-procedure)
  • Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure(30 days post-procedure)
  • Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 6 months post-procedure(6 months post-procedure)
  • Increase in valvular regurgitation post-procedure(Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure)
  • Increase in valvular regurgitation 7 days post-procedure(7 days post-procedure)
  • Increase in valvular regurgitation 30 days post-procedure(30 days post-procedure)
  • Increase in valvular regurgitation 6 months post-procedure(6 months post-procedure)
  • Hospital length of stay(Through hospital discharge, from date admitted to the hospital to date discharged from the hospital, up to 6 months post-procedure)
  • Transfusion secondary to periprocedural and post-procedural bleeding complications(Through hospital discharge, up to 6 months post-procedure)
  • Rate of Device-Related Adverse Events (AEs)(Through 6 months post-procedure)
  • All-cause mortality(Through 6 months post-procedure)
  • Rate of Major Bleeding(Through 6 months post-procedure)
  • Rate of device- or procedure-related individual Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI)(Through 6 months post-procedure)
  • Change in blood quality parameters(Through 30 days post-procedure)
