Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Technical success for access
Number of patients where TD was accessed successfully with an endovascular catheter under fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance
At the time of the procedure
Safety defined as the absence of serious adverse events
Safety as measured by number of serious adverse events
Up to 24 hours post-procedure
Technical success for drainage
Number of patients where any amount of lymph was drained successfully from the TD with an endovascular catheter
At the time of the procedure
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Total fluid output (measured in mL) as measured by fluid collection
Up to 24 hours post-procedure
Change in body weight
Pre-procedure, Post-procedure (up to 4 hours)
Change in blood N-terminal Pro-BNP as measured by lab test
Baseline, 12 hours, 24 hours post initiation of drainage
Number of HF-related hospitalizations as measured by medical record review
30 days post-discharge
Study Arms (1)
TD Drainage
EXPERIMENTALShort term TD drainage
Interventions
Image-guided percutaneous cannulation of the TD and drainage with an endovascular catheter (microcatheter)
