NCT03189134

Brief Summary

The investigators propose to translate confocal microscopy for use during open heart surgery. This tool will help discriminate between various types of tissues in the heart during surgery. One of the most feared complication after heart surgery is heart block. This flexible fiberoptic confocal microscope will help discriminate between the various types of tissues in the heart and thus help avoid injury to the conduction tissue during surgery.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Number of Participants Who Experienced Adverse Events Possibly Related to Study Intervention

    All adverse events will be collected and relatedness to study intervention will be determined.

    Surgery through discharge (approximately 5 days)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Number of Participants For Whom FCM Imaging During Cardiac Surgery Was Feasible

    Surgery through discharge (approximately 5 days)

  • Percentage of Agreement in Classification of FCM Images

    After all participants completed the study (range 2 months to 1 year post surgery)

Study Arms (1)
