Study summary

Among the complications of heart transplant, primary dysfunction of the graft (PDG) is the most feared with a net impact on early morbidity and mortality. The all-cause mortality rate at the international level is 10% at 30 days and 34% at one year. Mortality at 30 days is secondary in 66% of cases with DPG or multi-organ failure.

The treatment of choice for the more severe PDG remains ECMO-type circulatory mechanical assistance or ventricular assistance. According to several studies, this could reduce early mortality. Early placement and short-term (\<30 days) of support appear to improve survival in the first year after transplantation.

The haemodynamic parameters revealing this DPG are not clearly described in the literature.

hypothesis of this research is that:

  • DPG risk factors in strasbourg's hospital center are comparable to other European and international centers.
  • Simple hemodynamic parameters can be used to detect PDG earlier in order to set up assistance more quickly.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 9, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
