Brief summary

The Strength study aim to evaluate the use of the RenalGuard device to protect the patients at high risk to develop acute kidney injury following a complex cardiovascular intervention requiring a high volume of contrast.

Detailed description

The Strength Trial is a randomized, international (France and Germany) and multicentre (7) trial. The patients population targeted is suffering from kidney insufficiency (estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) between 15 to 40 ml/min/m2) need to go through a complex cardiovascular intervention.. This is a population of patients at high risk to develop AKI following contrast media administration and complex cardiovascular interventions require a high amount of contrast. Standard treatment is hydration but with risk of hyper and hypohydration for this population of patients. RenalGuard insure the replacement of the urine output by infusion of a matched volume of sterile replacement solution to maintain patients' intravascular fluid volume. The patients are randomized to be protected from contrast-induced nephropathy with the use of RenalGuard or by standard hydration treatment and will be followed-up during 12 months.

Interventions

Replacement of urine output by infusion of a matched volume of sterile replacement solution to maintain a patient's intravascular fluid volume. Diuretic is administered to reach an optimum urine flow and protect efficiently the patients' kidneys.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Occurence of contrast-induced nephropathyWithin 5 daysThe occurence of contrast-induced nephropathy will be determined: * by an elevation, within 3 days from requiring contrast-procedure, of the serum creatinine (rise of 0.3mg/dl or of 25% compared to basal value) and/or * by the need for dialysis within 5 fays from requiring contrast-procedure

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Individual MACCEs components (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization)at 12 +-1 months
Change in serum creatinin valueat 12 +-1 months
Change in the estimated glomerular filtration rateat 12 +-1 months
Composite of major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (death, myocardial infarction, stroke, revascularization)at 12 +-1 months
Percentage of patients on temporary dialysisat 12 +-1 months
In hospital significant urinary bleeding, infection or any other major complication cause by the urinary catheterwithin 5 days from procedure
Economic evaluation of RenalGuard compared to standard renal protection according to ESC guidelinesIndex hospitalization (including staged procedures) and 12+- 1 monthscost utility analysis
