Official title
Feasibility Protocol for Percutaneous AngioVac Vegetation Extraction (PAVE) to Remove Right Heart Vegetations in Patients With Infective Endocarditis
Overview
The investigation aims to demonstrate initial safety and efficacy of the AngioVac System for the removal of vegetation in the right heart in patients with infective endocarditis.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, multicenter, single-arm investigational device study evaluating safety and effectiveness.
Interventions
- Device AngioVac System
Percutaneous vacuum-assisted aspiration of right-sided vegetation via suction, filtration and veno-venous bypass.
Primary outcome measures
- Rate of Clinical Success [Time frame: 30 days post-procedure]
- Rate of Major Adverse Events (MAEs) [Time frame: 48 hours post-procedure]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Proportion of subjects completing follow-up at 30 days post-procedure [Time frame: 30 days post-procedure]
- Proportion of subjects completing follow-up at 6 months post-procedure [Time frame: 6 months post-procedure]
- Absolute change in vegetation size pre-procedure to post-procedure [Time frame: Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure]
- Percent change in vegetation size pre-procedure to post-procedure [Time frame: Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure]
- Intraoperative survival [Time frame: Periprocedural/immediately post-procedure]
- In-hospital survival [Time frame: Through hospital discharge, up to 6 months post-procedure]
- 30-day survival [Time frame: 30 days post-procedure]
- 6-month survival [Time frame: 6 months post-procedure]
- Absence of persistent bacteremia within 7 days post-procedure [Time frame: 7 days post-procedure]
- Absence of persistent bacteremia within 30 days post-procedure [Time frame: 30 days post-procedure]
- Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 30 days post-procedure [Time frame: 30 days post-procedure]
- Absence of further right-sided valve intervention through 6 months post-procedure [Time frame: 6 months post-procedure]
