Brief Summary:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the efficacy of the ROX coupler in treating patients with tilt test proven Neurally mediated syncope.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Neurally Mediated Syncope Device: ROX COUPLER Procedure: Right heart catheterisation and routine care Not Applicable

Detailed Description:

Neurally mediated syncope (NMS) is a debilitating condition, with no proven therapeutic measures. The ROX coupler is a device used to create an Iliac arterio-venous anastamosis which allows a shunt of 0.8 litres per minute. The haemodynamic changes following creation of an arterio-venous anastomosis at the iliac level leads to an increase in cardiac preload, reversing finding thought to induce NMS.

This a randomised controlled study to evaluate the effect of Iliac arterio-venous anastamosis in patients with neurally mediated syncope. The Head up tilt test is used as an objective measure to evaluate the effect of the arterio-venous anastamosis in patients with NMS. Participants with tilt test proven NMS will be eligible for the study ( if they satisfy all other eligibility criteria). Participants will be randomised to ROX coupler intervention or standard therapy. The primary outcome measure will be absence of loss consciousness on tilt table testing at 3 months post intervention.
