About this study

Official title: Intraoperative Stereotactic Image-guided Navigation of Perforators for DIEP Flap Breast Reconstruction.

Many hospitals, including the Ohio State University Medical Center, will take pictures of the blood vessels in a patient's abdomen before they decide to perform a breast reconstruction using the patient's own tissue. These pictures are called computed tomography (CT) angiograms and are like a map of each patient's anatomy. However, no study has been reported that determined how accurate these pictures are at showing the surgeon where all of the blood vessels were located. This study will try to determine if these pictures are missing any blood vessels that are found during surgery and if the pictures show the correct location of the vessels

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To analyze the accuracy of preoperative CT angiography in determining the location of perforator vessels. Through the use of an intraoperative navigation system, we will objectively locate perforators during surgery and compare the results to the preoperative imaging assessment of the flap's vascular anatomy.

II. To determine whether the preoperative CT angiogram allows the microsurgeon to correctly identify the perforators that are ultimately used as the pedicle for the flap.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) flap breast reconstruction using the StealthStation navigation system.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1-2 weeks and 1 month, then every 3 months for 2 years.

Receives: Procedure: breast reconstruction; Procedure: intraoperative imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of perforators that are found intraoperatively but not seen preoperatively on CT angiogram images

    Measured: Up to 2 years

  2. Whether the preoperative CT angiography allowed the surgeon to accurately predict the perforator vessels that were actually used in the final flap design and transfer

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Position of the vessels on the imaging correlate to actual location on the abdominal wall for those perforator vessels that are identified both on preoperative review of the images and located during flap dissection

    Measured: Up to 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing breast reconstruction and intraoperative imaging in people with Ductal Breast Carcinoma in Situ and Lobular Breast Carcinoma in Situ, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

The number of perforators that are found intraoperatively but not seen preoperatively on CT angiogram images (time frame: Up to 2 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Apr 2017.
