About this study

Official title: Randomized Clinical Trial of Polyester vs. Polyurethane Patch for Carotid Endarterectomy. Long-term Results

This study examines the risk of thrombogenicity of the carotid patches in polyurethane compared to carotid patches in polyester including death, any stroke, carotid thrombosis at 30 days and long-term results including stroke and recurrent carotid stenosis at 10 years.

This study was run at the University of Roma, La Sapienza and at the University of Poitiers, randomisation was done in both enters after approval by the Ethical committee of the University of Roma (Record uploaded)

Read the detailed description

This study examines the risk of thrombogenicity of the carotid patches in polyurethane compared to carotid patches in polyester including death, any stroke, carotid thrombosis at 30 days and long-term results including stroke and recurrent carotid stenosis at 10 years.

598 patients were considered for randomisation between January 1995 and January 2004. The following patients were excluded for randomisation (Redo carotid surgery: N=34, radiation induced carotid stenosis:N=45, indication for carotid bypass: N=65, Refusal of randomisation: N=4).

In total, 450 patients were randomized in two groups, 225 received a polyester patch and 225 received a polyurethane patch.

All patients were operated under general anaesthesia and all received an intraoperative angiography. A shunt was selectively used in patients with a recent stroke (<15 days) or with a contralateral carotid occlusion

What is being measured

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

  1. carotid artery restenosis

    Restenosis of carotid endarterectomy > 70% in diameter occurring 5 to 10 years after surgery diagnosed by color duplex ultrasound

    Measured: 5 to 10 years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Any death occurring during follow-up

    All death even those not related to carotid surgery

    Measured: Time 0 (operation) to 10 years after surgery

  2. Any ipsilateral stroke

    Any paralysis occurring in relation with the operated carotid artery and lasting more than 24 hours

    Measured: 0 days to 10 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing CEA in people with Carotid Artery Thrombosis and Carotid Artery Stenosis, run by University of Poitiers.

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 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jan 2015. 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 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?

carotid artery restenosis (time frame: 5 to 10 years after surgery). 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 19 Jan 2015.
