Clinical Trial Summary

Currently catheters used in heart catheterization procedures are guided throughout the heart chambers and blood vessels by pictures taken by x-rays. This technology exposes patients to radiation. With this study protocol the investigators will use MRI technology to take real-time pictures to navigate catheters throughout heart chambers. MRI uses electromagnetic energy; therefore, it does not expose participants to radiation energy.

Description:

Participants undergo general anesthesia, and vascular access is obtained in the x-ray catheterization lab. Next the participant is transferred into the MRI scanner where a focused MRI examination is performed. Catheters are then guided into the heart chambers using real-time MRI guidance to perform conventional cardiac catheterization steps. If time allows, additional research MRI is performed before the participant is returned to the x-ray catheterization lab. If any MRI guided catheterization steps are unsuccessful, the clinically indicated step is performed after the participant returns to the x-ray catheterization lab using conventional x-ray guided pictures.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Test the feasibility of navigating catheters into right heart structures using real-time MRI	Heart catheterization usually uses X-ray guidance. Using commercially available MRI-compatible catheters, the right heart catheterization procedure will be done using real-time magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI guidance does not use X-ray radiation.	At the end of each catheterization procedure through study completion,up to 5 years.
Secondary	Number of participants whose MRI cardiac catheterization procedure was prematurely terminated	Premature termination will occur under the following circumstances: Hemodynamic or other clinical instability; Technical failure of catheter procedure such as being unable to navigate the catheters to the heart chamber; Equipment malfunction; Any other circumstance that in the opinion of the Principal Investigator poses hazard to the research subject	At the end of each catheterization procedure through study completion,up to 5 years
Secondary	Measurement of radiation exposure	Comparison of radiation exposure in this cohort of subjects to historical controls undergoing matched invasive cardiology procedure at CNMC.	End of study, 5 years.
