About this study

Official title: Neptune Pad ® Compared to Conventional Manual Compression for Access Site Management After Peripheral Percutaneous Transluminal Procedures

BACKGROUND. Arterial access site complications remain the most frequent adverse events after percutaneous transluminal procedures. We investigated the safety and efficacy of the pro-coagulant wound dressing Neptune Pad ® compared to conventional manual compression for access site management after peripheral percutaneous interventions.

METHODS. We enrolled 201 consecutive patients and randomly assigned patients for Neptune Pad ® (n=100) vs. conventional manual compression (n=101). Patients were followed clinically until hospital discharge and by duplex ultrasound at 24 hours postprocedure for occurrence of access site complications. Time-to-hemostasis and time-to-ambulation were recorded, patients´ and physicians´ discomfort were measured using a visual analogue scale.

What participants receive

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

  • Neptune P.A.D. (R)Device

    The Neptune Pad ® (Biotronik GmbH \& Co. KG, Berlin, Germany) is a soft and hydrophilic wound dressing, which has been developed to accelerate local hemostasis, reduce compression times, enable early ambulation and minimize the risk for bleeding complications. Neptune Pad ® consists of calcium alginate, which is cationically charged and exerts potent procoagulant properties.

  • conventional manual compressionOther

    The most common technique for puncture site management is manual compression. This technique requires an extended pressure on the puncture site, and after achievement of hemostasis a pressure bandage is applied for several hours at bed rest.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Neptune P.A.D. (R) and conventional manual compression in people with Postoperative Hemorrhage, run by Vienna General Hospital at 1 site in Austria.

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 2 inclusion and 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Jan 2008. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00597363, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Jan 2008.
