Trial summary

This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a locally designed Assiut Femoral Compression Device (AFCD) versus manual compression (MC). Femoral compression devices have been developed thorough the past decades without being strongly implemented in the catheterization laboratory. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Comparison of Assiut Femoral Compression Device Versus Manual Compression in the Achievement of Hemostasis After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

This study was performed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a locally designed Assiut Femoral Compression Device (AFCD) versus manual compression (MC). Femoral compression devices have been developed thorough the past decades without being strongly implemented in the catheterization laboratory. Their limited adoption reflects concerns of high cost and conflicting data regarding their safety

Read the detailed description

The intra-arterial sheaths were removed 6 hours after PCI in the MC group according to the standard local protocols. However for AFCD group, the sheaths were removed 2 hours after PCI instead of conventional 6 hours. To standardize compression times, AFCD were applied to patient and complete femoral artery compression were applied for 5 minutes, followed by a gradual release of pressure till distal pulse is palpated. Each patient received a minimum of 13 minutes of compression, with further compression applied only if full hemostasis had not been achieved at that point with maximum of 30 minutes.

What participants receive

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

  • Assiut Femoral Compression DeviceDevice

    Also called AFCD

    Assiut Femoral Compression Devices (AFCD) is a femoral compression system, The pressure dome is situated over the vessel puncture site in the groin and applies a mechanical pressure over the vessel puncture site to induce hemostasis.

To standardize compression times, AFCD were applied to patient and complete femoral artery compression were applied for 5 minutes, followed by a gradual release of pressure over the ensuing 8 minutes. Therefore each patient received a minimum of 13 minutes of compression, with further compression applied only if full hemostasis had not been achieved at that point with maximum of 30 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Time-To-Ambulation (TTA), measured in hours

    Ambulation was defined as patient standing and walking at least 6 meters (20 feet) without re-bleeding or significant oozing requiring manual compression

    Measured: TTA was measured from the time the introducer sheath was removed (2 hr in AFCD group and 6 hours in MC group after end of PCI) to time of ambulation

  2. the absence of major adverse events on discharge

    major adverse event (MAE) was defined as symptomatic bleeding associated with hemoglobin drop ≥5 g/dL requiring blood transfusion, fatal bleeding that directly results in death, a pseudoaneurysm or arteriovenous fistula, distal arterial embolism, infections requiring administration of IV antibiotics or debridement, and the need for vascular surgery.

    Measured: 24 post procedure

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Device success:

    This was defined as easy application of the device with good fixation and stability and achieving final hemostasis. Device Stability was defined as absence of tilt and/or mobility after application of the device on top of the patient groin. Assessment of the device application was performed using a questionnaire with a scale of three grades; "Easy", "Difficult" and "Requires Improvement". Assessment of stability and fixation of the device was performed on a scale defined as "Very Good", "Good" and "Bad".

    Measured: 5 minutes during application

  2. Procedure success

    This was defined as hemostasis achieved by the assigned method, without the occurrence of a closure-related major adverse event (MAE).

    Measured: 24 h post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Assiut Femoral Compression Device in people with Common Femoral Artery Injury and Other Vascular Adverse Event, run by Assiut University at 1 site in Egypt.

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 19 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 20 Jul 2021. 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Time-To-Ambulation (TTA), measured in hours (time frame: TTA was measured from the time the introducer sheath was removed (2 hr in AFCD group and 6 hours in MC group after end of PCI) to time of ambulation). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02214030, 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 20 Jul 2021.
