Trial Review

Please note the ANZCTR will be unattended from Friday 20 December 2024 for the holidays. The Registry will re-open on Tuesday 7 January 2025. Submissions and updates will not be processed during that time.

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Study device: The name of the device is the IASD System II. It is called an investigational or study device because it has not yet been proven to be safe or effective by The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA). The device has two main parts. The first part is a permanent implant that is placed inside the heart. The second part is a tube called a delivery catheter that puts the implant in the heart and then is removed.
The implant is made of the same metal that has been used for over 20 years in other heart devices. The implant shape is two disks with a small open tunnel in the middle. The implant can be folded into the delivery catheter so the study doctor can place it inside the heart. This is done during a procedure called a cardiac catheterisation. The implant stays in the heart for the rest of the subject's lifespan.

The intervention administered for this current study is using an IASD device to improve hemodynamic and electrophysiologic outcomes in patients undergoing repeat pulmonary vein isolation for AF treatment. This study is a pilot study to assess safety and feasibility, together with exploratory hemodynamic and electrophysiologic end-points.

All of the study candidates will be assessed by the a trained cardiologist. If the study participants proceed to the implant stage, the study device will be implanted by a highly trained intervention cardiologist in a 1-2 hour cath lab session.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 319166 0
This study is a pilot study to assess safety and feasibility,
These tools include:
post procedure details - source documentation.
Assessment of Atrial Fibrillation: ECG and holter
Assessment of pulmonary pressures: exercise right heart cath
Assessment of ejection fraction: MRIs and Echocardiograms
Assessment of pt condition: NYHA and physical assessment
cardiac bio markers - bloods (eg BNP, NT-pro-BNP, Troponin)
heart failure questionnaires - KCCQ +/- EQ-5D-3L

Clinical Data will be collected periodically (including pre and post procedure) and be reviewed to determine the safety and feasibility.
Timepoint [1] 319166 0
12 months post intervention (study device implanted)
Secondary outcome [1] 367160 0
Exploratory hemodynamic end-points.
Hemodynamic end points: examining the results from an exercise right heart catheter including measuring various pressures in the heart and lungs at rest and under exertion and assessing the changes pre and post device (ex RHC will be done pre-procedure and at 3 months post)

Timepoint [1] 367160 0
12 months post intervention (study device implant)
Secondary outcome [2] 368561 0
Exploring electrophysiologic endpoints.

Exploratory analyses of the change in electrophysiology: ECGs will be conducted to examine any rhythm changes in the subject and a holter monitor will be used to record the same at baseline, post device, 6 month and 12 month follow up.
