Trial summary

This study examines the flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery before and after cardiac surgery. FMD is measured with ultrasound technique. Increased flow is achieved trough obstructing blood flow with a cuff around the forearm for five minutes. Read more about this study

About this study

This study examines the flow mediated dilation (FMD) of the brachial artery before and after cardiac surgery. FMD is measured with ultrasound technique. Increased flow is achieved trough obstructing blood flow with a cuff around the forearm for five minutes. FMD is measured before surgery and on the first morning after the operation.

What is being measured

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

  1. flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery

    Transitory change in FMD as a consequence of cardiac surgery with use of extra corporal circulation.

    Measured: one day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Reactive hyperemia

    Transitory change in reactive hyperemia after five minutes of occlusion of forearm blood flow as a consequence of cardiac surgery with the use of extra corporal circulation.

    Measured: one day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Norway.

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 7 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 19 Sep 2017. 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 Norway. 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?

flow mediated dilation of the brachial artery (time frame: one day). 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 NCT02001090, 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 19 Sep 2017.
