Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the combination of CardiaMend, with the addition of amiodarone in the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing cardiac arterial bypass grafting (CABG) or valve surgery.


Clinical Trial Description

This study involves using CardiaMend, an FDA cleared (K210331) pericardial reconstruction matrix with the addition of amiodarone, an FDA approved antiarrhythmic drug, as a prevention of post operative atrial fibrillation. This is a single-center, prospective randomized study enrolling adult subjects undergoing isolated cardiac arterial bypass or valve surgery, via complete median sternotomy. CardiaMend will be used according to the Instructions for Use, and then patted dry to facilitate implantation. Four ampules of amiodarone (150mg/3ml; 12cc total volume) will be drawn into a syringe. 2cc will be dripped over the right atrium and a small CardiaMend patch placed to cover this area. Another 2cc will be used over the left atrium and covered with the CardiaMend. The anterior pericardial space will be closed without putting pressure on the underlying structures using the CardiaMend attached to the native pericardium utilizing running 4-0 monofilament suture. A small edge may be left open for drain placement and a small slit for the Left Internal Mammary Artery (LIMA) in case of CABG. The remaining 8 cc of amiodarone will be instilled to the closed pericardial space. Patients will have continuous electrocardiogram (EKG) until discharge. If clinically indicated, patients will receive a monitor for home monitoring per standard of care. ;
