About this study

Official title: Ischemic Preconditioning Versus Intermittent Portal Triad Clamping in Liver Resection. Prospective Randomized Comparison

Vascular occlusion is used to reduce blood loss during liver resection (LR), but may cause ischemic damage to the remnant liver and can lead to liver failure in case of chronic liver disease. This restriction of blood flow (ischemia) and subsequent restoration (reperfusion) causes a harm that is called ischemia- reperfusion injury. Injuries sustained during the ischemic phase are related to a lack of oxygen to reduce cellular respiratory events can lead to, in a few minutes, irreversible damage. Ischemic preconditioning as a technique to protect the liver parenchyma during liver resection consists of an initial flow clamping for 10 minutes, with subsequent reperfusion for 10-15min, followed by a complete portal triad clamping during transection.

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective controlled trial, conducted between July 2011 and July 2012. This study has been initiated by Liver \& Transplant Division, Hospital Dr Cosme Argerich, Buenos Aires Argentina. The protocol was approved by ethics committees and an informed consent was obtained from each patient before they were enrolled. Sixty patients were randomized to either receive ischemic preconditioning prior to liver resection under intermittent pedicle clamping or Intermittent Pringle ischemia. Ischemic preconditioning was performed through a sequence of 10 minutes vascular inflow occlusion and 10 minutes of reperfusion prior to continuous pedicle clamping during resection. Intermittent pedicle clamping was conducted through a sequence of 15 minutes of vascular inflow occlusion and 5 minutes of reperfusion. The randomization process which was centralized was held in the operating room after inclusion criteria had been check and exclusion criteria ruled out.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing ischemic preconditioning in people with Ischemic Lesions, run by Hospital General de Agudos "Dr. Cosme Argerich" at 1 site in Argentina.

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 6 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 13 Sep 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 Argentina. 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 Javier Lendoire, MD, PhD (5491160116898, jlendoire@yahoo.com.ar), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Mortality Complications (time frame: within 30 days after surgery). 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 13 Sep 2011.
