About this study

Official title: Feasibility and Safety of Same-Day Discharge of Troponin Negative Patients After Coronary PTCA Via the Transfemoral Approach

Same day discharge is safe and feasible in selected troponin negative patients undergoing coronary planned percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or ad hoc PCI via the transfemoral approach.

Read the detailed description

The feasibility and safety of same day discharge post PCI will be examined. Study data will be compared to national registries and national or regional databases of PCI in Troponin negative patients with overnight stay. As part of the registry we will also assess compliance with dual antiplatelet therapy at six months and at 1 year and will record any reasons for premature discontinuation as well as any associated adverse events.

What participants receive

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

  • Same-day dischargeProcedure or surgery

    Patients identified as clinically stable are discharged home the same day as the PCI procedure with telephone follow-up at 12 hr, 24 hr, 3, 30, 180 and 365 days post procedure.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Rate of compliance with dual antiplatelet therapy

    Measured: 6, 12 , and 18 months post study initiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Same-day discharge in people with Acute Coronary Syndrome, run by Piedmont Healthcare at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 14 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2013. 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 United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Slow enrollment and high number of screen failures). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Number of cardiac MACE, major cerebral events, and groin complications (time frame: 6, 12, and 18 months post study initation). 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 23 Sep 2013.
