NCT04017975

Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to test the hypothesis that fiberoptic confocal microscopy (FCM) imaging during repair of common congenital heart defects is a useful adjunct for avoidance of conduction abnormalities.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Rate of new conduction disorders

    Rate of new conduction disorders post-surgery will be determined by electrophysiologist read and compared between the two groups

    Immediately post-surgery

Secondary Outcomes (10)

  • Change in PR interval

    1 year post-surgery

  • Change in QTc interval

    1 year post-surgery

  • Change in QRS interval

    Approximately 5 days post-surgery and 1 year post-surgery

  • Degree of heart block

    1 year post-surgery

  • Pacemaker implantation

    1 year post-surgery

  • +5 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Non-imaging cohort

NO INTERVENTION

There will be no intervention for the non-imaging group. Subjects will receive standard of care for cardiac surgery.

Imaging cohort

EXPERIMENTAL

Up to 5mL of 1:1000 dilute fluorescite will be applied to cardiac tissue prior to imaging with Cellvizio 100 Series System with Confocal Miniprobes. The system will be used to assist the investigator with the operative course.

Drug: FluoresciteDevice: Cellvizio 100 Series System with Confocal Miniprobes

Interventions

1 mL of Fluorescite will be diluted into 1L of saline. Up to 5mLs of the 1:1000 diluted solution will be applied topically to the cardiac tissue prior to imaging.

Also known as: fluorescein sodium
Imaging cohort

The microscopy system will image cardiac tissue.

Eligibility Criteria

Age30 Days - 18 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 30 days to less than 18 years old
  • Patients with planned surgical repair of:
  • Ventricular septal defect (VSD)
  • Complete atrioventricular canal (CAVC)
  • Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) with pulmonary stenosis

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior history of renal failure or abnormal renal function
  • Baseline PR interval \> 220 msec or 98% for age
  • Baseline HR \> 98% for age
  • Underlying genetic syndrome associated with progressive AV block or sinus node dysfunction (e.g. Holt-Oram or NKX2.5)
  • Any surgical repair that requires staging or palliation
  • Pregnant or lactating
  • Apical muscular VSD
  • ToF with pulmonary atresia
