Pericardial Resection to Treat Heart Failure

NCT03073668 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 23

Last updated 2019-05-14

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The researchers are doing this study to find out whether there will be less increase in cardiac filling pressure after the surgeon opens the pericardium (the membrane around the heart) than when the pericardium is intact. The researchers want to see whether opening the pericardium is an effective way to reduce the blood filling pressures in the heart.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Anterior pericardiotomy

The surgical team will perform anterior pericardiotomy. This will not be a complete pericardiectomy but rather a limited anterior incision to gain access to the heart for surgical exposure.

DRUG

Saline

During the measurement of cardiac hemodynamic tests, a saline bolus of 300 ml will be administered over 1-2 minutes.
