About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the relations between conventional and unconventional risk factors and adverse clinical events at follow-up (including coronary bypass patency) in patients undergoing surgical myocardial revascularization.

Read the detailed description

Coronary artery bypass grafting represents one of the most frequent surgical procedure performed in the United States and Europe. The clinical benefit of myocardial revascularization is related to freedom of adverse cardiovascular events and to graft patency, above all of great saphenous vein, which is nowadays the main autologous vessel used for grafting coronaries different from anterior interventricular artery. Unfortunately, phenomena leading to early and, above all, late complications and to graft occlusion are not fully clarified and it so not possible to explain interindividual and temporary variability of progressive stenosis rate only on the basis of classical atherosclerosis risk factors. The aim of our study is to prospectively study the role of conventional risk factors (preoperative risk factors and clinical features) and of unconventional risk factors (genetic polymorphisms, inflammation and coagulation markers) with saphenous late patency and postoperative patients outcome, in particular with regard to adverse clinical events (myocardial infarction, successive stenting procedures, arrhythmias etc.)and to bypass patency.

Plasma venous samples will be collected the day before surgery, at discharge from the hospital, and at follow-up from patients undergoing on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and stored at -80°C; Patients will be followed-up periodically with visits and telephone interviews, and will be also invited to undergo multislice (64 rows) CT scan in order to assess graft patency between 12 and 24 months after surgery.

Finally the relation between conventional and unconventional risk factors with adverse events at follow-up will be assessed with multivariable statistical models.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Myocardial Revascularization and Atherosclerosis, run by Centro Cardiologico Monzino at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 inclusion and 5 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Sep 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Alessandro Parolari, MD, PhD (00390258002558, alessandro.parolari@ccfm.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00755248, 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 Sep 2008.
