BeGrow Study to Treat Pulmonary Artery (PA) Stenosis in Newborns and Infants
- Conditions
- Pulmonary Artery Stenosis
- Interventions
- Device: BeGrow Stent System
- Registration Number
- NCT03287024
- Lead Sponsor
- Bentley InnoMed GmbH
- Brief Summary
Objective of the study is to assess safety and performance of the BeGrow Stent System for newborns and infants in pulmonary artery stenosis.
- Detailed Description
The Bentley InnoMed "BeGrow Stent System for Newborns and Infants" is a stent delivery system indicated for intraluminal placement in the pulmonary arteries of newborns and infants for the treatment of Pulmonary Artery Stenosis.
Recruitment & Eligibility
- Status
- ACTIVE_NOT_RECRUITING
- Sex
- All
- Target Recruitment
- 18
-
Single lesion(s) which can be treated with a 6 mm BeGrow stent (only one stent per lesion allowed).
-
Pulmonary artery stenosis - patient must at least have one of the following diseases:
- Haemodynamically relevant proximal or distal branch pulmonary artery stenosis with a reduction of the vessel diameter when the vessel/patient is large enough to accommodate a stent,
- Haemodynamically relevant stenosis of the main pulmonary artery segment that results in elevation of the Right Ventricle (RV) pressure, provided that the stent definitely will not compromise a functioning pulmonary valve and will not impinge on the pulmonary artery bifurcation,
- Any degree of stenosis in patients with single ventricle circulation
- Critically ill postoperative cardiac patients when it has been determined that branch pulmonary artery stenosis is resulting in a definite haemodynamic compromise in a patient/vessel of any size, particularly if balloon dilatation is unsuccessful
-
Signed written informed consent (by parents/legal guardians)
-
Lesion can be accessed with a guide wire or balloon catheter
-
Age ≤ 24 months and weight ≥ 2 kg
-
Adequate stent length available
-
The following lesions are excluded from treatment with BeGrow stent:
- Shunt stenosis
- Valvular and subvalvular pulmonary stenosis
-
Patients with known hypersensitivity to the stent material (L605 cobalt-chromium).
-
Patients with clinical or biological signs of infection.
-
Patients with active endocarditis.
-
Patients with known allergy to acetylsalicylic acid, other antiplatelet agents or heparin.
-
Presence of other previously implanted stents in the same lesion or in close proximity to stent (direct stent-stent contact).
-
Patients with known coagulation disorder.
-
Patients where direct stent-stent contact or overlapping cannot be avoided.
-
Patients where contact to the vessel wall over the entire stent length cannot be ensured after dilatation (especially in short and thick lesions).
-
Patients where the BeGrow stent could protrude freely into adjacent vessels after expansion/dilatation, including the pulmonary arterial bifurcation.
-
Implantation of the BeGrow stent in the pulmonary arterial bifurcation.
