Trial summary

Although the long saphenous vein remains the most commonly used conduit in coronary revascularization, traditional open vein harvest may lead to significantly impaired wound healing and post-operative pain. To this end, endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting techniques have been shown to reduce post-operative morbidity. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Impact on Endothelial Function and Integrity by Endoscopic Saphenous Vein Harvest for Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting

Although the long saphenous vein remains the most commonly used conduit in coronary revascularization, traditional open vein harvest may lead to significantly impaired wound healing and post-operative pain. To this end, endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting techniques have been shown to reduce post-operative morbidity. Studies have shown that endothelial integrity and luminal nitric oxide synthase (NOS) are better preserved with novel "no-touch" techniques; however, the effect and the associated mechanism of endoscopic vein harvest on endothelial integrity and function remain unknown. Therefore, in the present proposal, we will collect the saphenous vein segements immediately after harvesting, reperfusion, and grafting, and then use enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA), immunohistochemical staining (IHC), and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to detect the expression and distribution of endothelial NOS (eNOS), endothelin-1 (ET-1), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), intracellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), and platelet endothelial cell adhesion molecule-1(PECAM-1) at protein and RNA levels in the endothelium of saphenous veins. The major aim of this study is to elucidate the effect and mechanism of endoscopic saphenous vein harvesting on endothelial properties as compare to conventional open vein harvest technique.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing coronary artery bypass grafting in people with Coronary Artery Disease, run by Far Eastern Memorial Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2008. 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 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?
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 9 Jul 2008.
