Device: Manipulation in OR surgical technique
Registration Number
NCT01631188

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
Brief Summary

The study is being done to determine if the Endovent pulmonary catheter kit, used for port access surgery, can be used as a passageway for a pacing wire. The study hypothesis is that the Endovent kit can be used effectively as a passageway for a pacing wire system.

Detailed Description

Many times cardiac surgery requires the use of epicardial pacing in order to wean the patient from bypass. During minimally invasive port access valve surgery, it may not be possible to place the leads on the surface of the heart because of the limited surgical exposure. In this case, transvenous pacing is used. Minimally invasive port access surgery uses specially designed, FDA approved catheters for the procedure. We wish to review the effectiveness of being able to place the wires through the catheters and pace the patient.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants That Required Pacing Who Were Able to be PacedPreparing to wean from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart lung machine) until 40 hours post wean.

To be able to pace the heart post aortic valve replacement surgery

Number of Participants Were the Endovent Pacing Wire Were Able to Obtain a Ventricular Sensing SignalPreparing to wean from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart lung machine) until 40 hours post wean.

Heart to begin pacing upon passing the wire through the catheter to the heart. The catheter would be to be able to pace the heart, with 5 or less milliamps, post heart surgery

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants Who Developed Abnormal Blood Pressure or Heart, and/or Arrhythmias Potentially Related to the Pacing EndoventPreparing to wean from the cardiopulmonary bypass machine (heart lung machine) until 40 hours post wean.

Subjects hemodynamic status will be measured and assessed throughout the study including all vital signs
