About this study

Official title: Retrospective Study of Endoscopic Ultrasound Guided Transmural Drainage of Post-operative Collections

This is a retrospective study of a single center on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided transmural drainage of post-operative collections during a 9 years period.

Read the detailed description

All patients who underwent a EUS guided drainage of post-operative collection between 2002 and 2011 in the endoscopy unit of Erasme hospital will be included for analysis. The study will focus on retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data. The technique is the same as the one used for pancreatic pseudocysts drainage. The technical success is defined as the ability to access and drain the collection by placement of transmural drain and/or stents. Treatment success (regression of collection) is defined as the resolution of the collection as shown on abdominal imaging (CT or MRI) in association with clinical resolution of symptoms at 8 weeks of follow-up.

What participants receive

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

  • EUS guided transmural drainageProcedure or surgery

    Also called Echoendoscope (Pentax FG-3830UT; Olympus GF-UCT140/180), 19G echoTip needle (Cook Medical), Cystotome (Cook Medical), diathermic sleeve (Endoflex)

    Puncture of the collection is done under EUS guidance using a linear echoendoscope (FG-3830UT, Pentax or Olympus GF-UCT140/180 or forward viewing scope (Olympus)) with a 19G echoTip needle or a cystotome (Cook Medical Inc.). Then a 0.035 guidewire is inserted in the collection and the hole is enlarged with a cystotome (Cook Medical) or a 6.5F diathermic sleeve (Endoflex) and sometimes if needed a 6-8mm CRE balloon (Boston Scientific) before stenting with one or two double pigtail plastic stents (Cook Endoscopy, Endoflex). A nasocystic drain was also put whenever needed. If only a single stent could be placed in the first attempt, a subsequent procedure is scheduled for insertion of additional stents after dilation of the tract. There isn't any specific drug given during the procedure.

What is being measured

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

  1. Treatment success

    Regression of collection = resolution of collection as shown on abdominal imaging (Ct or MRI) in association with clinical resolution of symptoms at 8 weeks of follow-up

    Measured: 8 weeks after treatment

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. technical success

    Success to access and drain the collection by the placement of transmural drain and/or stent(s)

    Measured: day of procedure (day 1)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Post-surgical Intra-abdominal Collection, run by Erasme University Hospital at 1 site in Belgium.

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 24 Feb 2012. 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 Belgium. 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?

Treatment success (time frame: 8 weeks after treatment). 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 24 Feb 2012.
