Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: The following criteria will be applied for inclusion:;- > 18 years of age - Able to provide written informed consent - Medical history of antero-septal myocardial infarction with a discreet akinetic/dyskinetic scar located in the antero-septal or apical (may extend laterally) regions of the LV - Dilated left ventricle with or without aneurysm - Left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) * 60ml/m2 - Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) * 40% - Symptomatic cardiac dysfunction causing heart failure: NYHA class * II - Maintenance on stable medical therapy in accordance with prevailing heart failureguidelines - Mitral valve regurgitation * 1 - With or without cardiac device (ICD/CRT)
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients are not eligible for the study if they meet the following criteria: ;- Unable or unwilling to provide written informed consent - * 18 years of age - Pregnancy or claustrophobia - Known concomitant disease with a life expectancy of 2 - Intolerance or unwillingness to take Acenocoumarol - Functioning pacemaker leads in antero-apical RV, which would interfere with anchor placement - Pulmonary arterial pressure > 60 mm Hg - Myocardial infarction within 90 days prior to surgery - Chronic renal failure with a serum creatinine > 250 µmol/l.
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study endpoints are: - Assessment of complications over the course of 1 year - Evaluation of the decrease in LV volume by measuring the LVESVI with MRI/CT, (6) and 12 months after surgery - Evaluation of changes in heart failure status measured by NYHA class, quality of life assessment questionnaire and ergometry/6MWT. These data will be collected at the beginning of the study and at the 6th and 12th month of the follow-up - Compilation of detailed description of ischaemic heart characteristics using MRI (before the procedure , 6 and 12 months postoperatively) or cardiac CT (before and 12 months after the procedure). - MRI/CT quantification of DMF in the non-infarcted myocardium at the beginning and end of the study - Assessment of LVEF improvement with TTE/MRI or CT, prior to surgery and during follow-up - Assessment of any improvement in mitral valve regurgitation within 1 year , measured at several time intervals (preoperatively, intraoperatively, at discharge, and 6 and 12 months postoperatively). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The secondary endpoints are: - Gathering of clinical information that is potentially relevant for the study objectives, including comorbidities, fluid status and medication use - Assessment of diastolic function with TTE (preoperatively, at discharge, 6 and 12 months after surgery). - Evaluation of procedure-related ischaemia( ECG alternation and/or increase in CKMB level) intra-operative and for 48 hours postoperatively - Record the biomarker profile ( NT-proBNP, trop I, Gal-3 and creatinine) - 48 hour postoperative Holter monitoring for arrhythmias - Intra-operative documentation of heart characteristics by means of TEE (LV volume, function , mitral valve regurgitation, tethering area, coaptation depth) - Record number of patients with LAA exclusion in combination with SVR. | — |
