About this study

Official title: Prospective Randomized Comparison of Coronary Bypass Grafting With Minimal Extracorporeal Circulation System (MECC) Versus Off-pump Coronary Surgery. New Insights Into Inflammatory Cytokines.

The investigators aimed to evaluate the clinical results and the inflammatory response of the minimal extracorporeal circulation system (MECC) Compared with off-pump coronary revascularization (OPCABG).

This is a randomized and prospective study in 230 patients with indications for coronary surgery, with 113 patients in the OPCABG group and 117 in the MECC group. The endpoints were the clinical and biochemical results, intra-operative outcomes and the determination of 19 inflammatory circulating markers, 17 of them for the first time analyzed comparing both techniques.

Being tested
Off-pump coronary artery bypass graft, Mini extracorporeal circulation bypass

What participants receive

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

  • Off-pump coronary artery bypass graftProcedure or surgery

    Patients operated with the heart beating, without heart arrest.

  • Mini extracorporeal circulation bypassProcedure or surgery

    Patients operated with a modified extracorporeal circulation system

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinical outcomes

    Number of Participants with Adverse Events, e.g, renal failure, atrial fibrillation, acute myocardial infarct, stroke, redo surgery, death.

    Measured: within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Determination of increase over the first 48 hours of plasma levels of 19 circulating markers of inflammatory response.

    Determination of increase over the first 48 hours after the operation of plasma levels of 19 circulating markers of inflammatory response. The levels of inflammatory markers are measured in pg / mL and subsequently, the increase over the 48 hours is determined with the area under the curve.

    Measured: Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC 0-48 hours)

  2. Biochemical outcomes

    Changes in creatine kinase levels, troponin levels, glucose, leukocytes, platelets, hemoglobin and hematocrit levels. From basal point to 48 hours time after surgery.

    Measured: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

  3. Operative results

    Number of distal anastomosis.

    Measured: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

  4. Operative results

    Type of grafts used.

    Measured: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

  5. Operative results

    time until removal of mechanical respiratory support

    Measured: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

  6. Operative results

    Time at intensive care unit (days)

    Measured: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

  7. Operative results

    Total hospitalization time (days)

    Measured: Within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Apr 2014. 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 Spain. 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?

Clinical outcomes (time frame: within the first 30 days (plus or minus 3 days) after surgery). 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 NCT02118025, 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 21 Apr 2014.
