TYRX™ Envelope for Prevention of Infection Following Replacement With a CRT or ICD

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to compare the incidence of cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection and CIED mechanical complication after CIED replacement with a high-power cardiac implantable electronic device; either a cardiac resynchronization therapy device (CRT), or an implantable cardioverter defibrilator (ICD) and TYRX Anti-Bacterial Envelope (formerly known as AIGISRx), to the incidence, after replacement with an ICD or CRT and no TYRX.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) infection is associated with significant morbidity and expense. The frequency of CIED infection is increasing faster than the frequency of CIED implants, suggesting more effective prophylactic strategies are needed. The TYRX Anti-Bacterial Envelope is an FDA-cleared polypropylene mesh that is intended to securely hold a pacemaker pulse generator or defibrillator (ICD) in order to create a stable environment when implanted in the body. It contains the antimicrobial agents, rifampin and minocycline, which have been shown to reduce infection in an in vivo model of bacterial contamination following surgical implant of the generator or defibrillator. This is a prospective, observational, multicenter registry of subjects undergoing CIED replacement with an ICD or CRT and TYRX, with or without lead revision/addition. The registry subjects will be compared to a published historical control group undergoing CIED replacement with an ICD or CRT and no TYRX , with or without lead revision/addition. The CRT registry subjects will also be compared to a case-matched retrospective control group undergoing CIED replacement with a CRT and no TYRX , with or without lead revision/addition. The primary study endpoints are major CIED infection and CIED mechanical complication during the 12 months following CIED replacement with an ICD or CRT. Originally executed as two separate studies (Citadel - ICDs) and (Centurion - CRTs), a protocol amendment was executed in 2012 due to slow enrollment, combining the databases for analysis of results.

(Note: asymptomatic bacteremia without UTI is not an exclusion criterion) Generator replacement required planned lead extraction Participating in another clinical study evaluating a drug or device designed to reduce CIED infections Life expectancy of less than 6 months Expected to receive a heart transplant within 6 months With the exception of the elderly in good mental health, all vulnerable subjects as defined by the FDA Office of Human Research Protection or local IRB will be excluded Inclusion Criteria: - Case-matched retrospective Control Arm Qualifying CIED Implant was replacement with a CRT and TYRX, with or without lead revision/addition First un-enrolled patient meeting case-matching criteria in series of patients implanted with a CIED and no TYRX beginning 24 months prior to the date of first TYRX implant at site. If no matching patients in this period, first un-enrolled matching patient implanted with a CIED and no TYRX beginning 24 months prior to the first TYRX implant at site, searching in reverse chronological order Had at least one of following by date of enrollment into the study: ≥ 12 months follow-up after Qualifying TYRX Implant Subsequent TYRX Procedure that required opening the generator pocket or implant incision ≤ 12 months after Qualifying TYRX Implant (e.g. battery change, upgrade, lead revision, explant) Death ≤ 12 months after Qualifying CIED Implant Survived Qualifying CIED Implant to discharge, died of a CIED infection or Mechanical Complication prior to hospital discharge, or died for any reason un-related to Qualifying CIED Implant prior to hospital discharge 18 years or older Exclusion Criteria: - Case-matched retrospective Control Arm Contraindication to receiving the TYRX device, in accordance with the package labeling Pregnant or became pregnant in the 30 day period following the Qualifying TYRX Implant. CIED infection, or the indication for Qualifying CIED Implant was replacement of CIED that was explanted for infection Clinical diagnosis of an active infection at the time of Qualifying CIED Implant, including pneumonia, urinary tract infection, endovascular, cellulitis, bacteremia, or other major systemic infection (Note: asymptomatic bacteriuria without UTI is not an exclusion criterion) Lead extraction was performed at the Qualifying CIED Implant Participated in another clinical study evaluating a drug or device intended to reduce CIED infections Received a heart transplant within 6 months of Qualifying CIED Implant With the exception of the elderly in good mental health, all vulnerable subjects as defined by the FDA Office of Human Research Protection or local IRB will be excluded
