About this study

Official title: Randomized Trial of Proximal-versus Distal Cerebral Protection on Micro Embolization During Carotid Artery Stenting in Patients With High Risk Lipid Palque

Stenting is an alternative to traditional surgery in the treatment of carotid stenosis.The intra and/or postprocedural cerebral embolization remains the most frequent complication. Thanks to the systematic use of cerebral protection systems, these complications have reduced.A debate concerning which cerebral protective device should be more effective is still ongoing.

Being tested
carotid stenting with MOMA, Carotid stenting with filter wire EZ
Keywords
stenting, carotid plaque, stenosis, angioplasty
Medical subject headings

What participants receive

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

  • carotid stenting with MOMADevice

    Also called MOMA device (INVATEC RONCADELLE, BRESCIA - ITALY)

    The MOMA system is an endovascular catheter for proximal protection during carotid stenting. The system allows a concomitant balloon occlusion of both external and common carotid arteries leading to blood flow reversal within the internal carotid artery.

  • Carotid stenting with filter wire EZDevice

    Also called Filterwire EZ - Boston Scientific

    The filter wire EZ a distal protection system that is placed in he distal internal carotid artery before carotid stenting. The filter should entrap almost all the debries that are generated during endovascular procedure. At the end of the procedure the filter is retrieved throught a dedicated retrieval catheter.

What is being measured

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

  1. number of Microembolization signals (MES) detected with transcranal doppler

    Measured: 6 different phases of carotid stenting (lesion wiring; predilation; stent crossing of the lesion; stent deployment; stent post dilation; device tetruieval/deflation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical success

    Assesment of any clinical and neurological complication (death, any stroke, TIA; myocardial infarction).

    Measured: In hospital and 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing carotid stenting with MOMA and Carotid stenting with filter wire EZ in people with Carotid Stenosis, 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 1 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 11 Jan 2011. 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?

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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

number of Microembolization signals (MES) detected with transcranal doppler (time frame: 6 different phases of carotid stenting (lesion wiring; predilation; stent crossing of the lesion; stent deployment; stent post dilation; device tetruieval/deflation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01274676, 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 11 Jan 2011.
