(RTMPE for CAV) Real Time Myocardial Perfusion Echocardiography for Detection of Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy in Cardiac Transplant Patients
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating Perflutren Lipid Microsphere and RTMPE for Cardiac Allograft Vasculopathy. Completed, enrolled 36 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Is real-time myocardial perfusion echocardiography (RTMPE) a feasible and effective non-invasive method to detect significant Coronary Allograft Vasculopathy in pediatric and adult cardiac transplant recipients? Will perfusion deficits correlate with significant coronary artery stenosis identified by standard stress echocardiography and Invasive Coronary Angiography (ICA), and identify diffuse small vessel disease more effectively than current non-invasive techniques?
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Definity (injectible suspension ultrasound contrast agent) will be diluted with saline for both Pediatric and Adult subjects. For pediatric subjects under 60kg (kilogram), the dose will be 20 MicroL/kg (MicroLiter/kilogram) diluted to the same concentration used in the adult dosing. Hand Injections will be performed at baseline, Pre-peak, and peak perfusion stages.
Utilizes intravenous administration of biologically-inert microbubbles to assess myocardial perfusion and has demonstrated utility for identifying small vessel coronary artery disease.
