Evaluation of the Pulmonary Vascular Reactivity Test in Patients With Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and a Cardiac Shunt
Stopped: Lack of financing

Plain-language summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the predictive performance of the pulmonary vascular reactivity to acetylcholine, in the presence pulmonary arterial hypertension (estimated 1 year after the closure of the shunt).

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Patient child or adult, (regardless of age and weight) , which presents with heart disease with a shunt,
* Patient who requires, during current care, a hemodynamic exploration by catheterization to assess pulmonary vascular resistance (due to doubt on the operability of the patient on the usual clinical and echo cardiographic data) .
* Informed consent signed by the patient or at least one holder of parental authority, and the investigator
* Patient affiliated or benefiting from a social security scheme
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patient with a specific treatment for PAH (the prostacyclin derivatives, antagonists of endothelium receptors and inhibitors of phosphodiesterase 5).
* Patient participating in another research with exclusion period
* Known allergy to acetylcholine or adenosine
* Contraindication to the use of KRENOSIN (adenosine)
* atrioventricular block second or third degree, with the exception of patients with cardiac pacemaker.
* dysfunction sinoatrial (the headset disease) except patients with a pacemaker
* chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with bronchospasm (eg bronchial asthma)
* long QT Syndrome
* severe arterial hypotension
* known adenosine hypersensitivity
* Pregnant or patient of childbearing potential not using an effective contraception
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
