Limitations of closing percutaneous transthoracic ventricular access ports using a commercial collagen vascular closure device.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:Closed-chest access and closure of direct cardiac punctures may enable a range of therapeutic procedures. We evaluate the safety and feasibility of closing percutaneous direct ventricular access sites using a commercial collagen-based femoral artery closure device. METHODS:Yorkshire swine underwent percutaneous transthoracic left ventricular access (n = 13). The access port was closed using a commercial collagen-based vascular closure device (Angio-Seal, St. Jude Medical) with or without prior separation of the pericardial layers by instillation of fluid into the pericardial space ("permissive pericardial tamponade"). After initial nonsurvival feasibility experiments (n = 6); animals underwent 1-week (n = 3) or 6-week follow-up (n = 4). RESULTS:In naïve animals, the collagen plug tended to deploy outside the parietal pericardium, where it failed to accomplish hemostasis. "Permissive pericardial tamponade" was created under MRI, and accomplished early hemostasis by allowing the collagen sponge to seat on the epicardial surface inside the pericardium. After successful closure, six of seven animals accumulated a large pericardial effusion 5 ± 1 days after closure. Despite percutaneous drainage during 6-week follow-up, the large pericardial effusion recurred in half, and was lethal in one. CONCLUSIONS:A commercial collagen-based vascular closure device may achieve temporary but not durable hemostasis when closing a direct left ventricular puncture port, but only after intentional pericardial separation. These insights may contribute to development of a superior device solution. Elective clinical application of this device to close apical access ports should be avoided.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:This study sought to test safety and exploratory effectiveness of a dedicated transcaval closure device (TCD). BACKGROUND:Transcaval access enables delivery of large-caliber devices to the aorta in patients ineligible for transfemoral arterial access. Closure of aortocaval fistulae using off-label nitinol cardiac occluders has been shown to be safe, but persistent aortocaval fistulae at exit from the catheterization lab and bleeding complications were common in a prospective study. METHODS:Preclinical testing of the TCD was performed in 24 Yorkshire swine, including 10 under good laboratory practice conditions. Subsequently, subjects undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement for symptomatic severe aortic stenosis, ineligible for transfemoral arterial access, were enrolled in a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved early feasibility study of the TCD (Transmural Systems, Andover, Massachusetts). Independently adjudicated endpoints included technical, device, and procedural success, incorporating in-hospital and 30-day clinical and imaging follow-up. RESULTS:Transcaval access and closure in swine confirmed that at 30 days, TCDs were almost entirely endothelialized. Subsequently, 12 subjects were enrolled in the early feasibility study. Transcaval access, transcatheter aortic valve replacement, and aortocaval fistula closure was successful in all 12 subjects. The primary endpoint of technical success was met in 100% of subjects. Complete closure of the transcaval access tract was achieved in 75% of subjects at exit from the catheterization lab and in 100% of subjects at 30 days. There were zero modified Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 major vascular complications and zero Valve Academic Research Consortium-2 life-threatening or major bleeding complications related to transcaval access or the TCD. CONCLUSIONS:The TCD achieved complete closure of the transcaval access tract in most subjects at exit from the catheterization lab and essentially eliminated transcaval-related bleeding. Dedicated devices for transcaval access and closure could enable more widespread adoption of transcaval techniques without fear of bleeding complications.
