About this study

Official title: Comparison of Non-invasive Coronary CT With IVUS for the Detection of Coronary Artery Vasculopathy in a Cardiac Transplant Population

To compare results of Intravascular Ultrasound (which occurs during cardiac catheterization) with Computed Tomography (CT) scan to detect blockages or narrowing of the arteries that feed the heart. These will be studied in the cardiac transplant population.

Being tested
Computed tomography (CT)
Keywords
blocked arteries, narrowing arteries, IVUS, CT

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Computed tomography (CT)Device

    Also called DSCT Scanner, 4D scanner serial number 60011

    Computed tomography (CT), as performed by Dual Source Computed Tomography (DSCT)(Siemens Medical Solutions Germany) to be conducted no sooner than 3 days before or after cardiac catheterization, but with 3 months of the cardiac cath.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine if Computed Tomography (CT) of the arteries that feed the heart is more sensitive than Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) which is performed during cardiac catheterization

    Measured: within 3 months of cardiac cath with IVUS

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Computed tomography (CT) in people with Heart Transplantation, run by Mayo Clinic.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Jan 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To determine if Computed Tomography (CT) of the arteries that feed the heart is more sensitive than Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) which is performed during cardiac catheterization (time frame: within 3 months of cardiac cath with IVUS). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Jan 2012.
