Trial summary

The purpose of the registry is to collect information regarding the number and type of coronary artery bypass (CAB) surgical procedure changes that are made based on intraoperative guidance information using transit time flow measurements (TTFM) and ultrasound image capabilities provided with the Medistim device.

What participants receive

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

  • Medistim deviceDevice

    This registry is intended to document surgical findings, procedural changes, and adverse events occurring prior to discharge

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in planned surgical procedure

    Identify how often epiaortic scanning With the Medistim Device, leads to a change in the planned surgical procedure and to identify the reason and the procedure change

    Measured: Day 1 (During Surgery)

  2. Procedure adaptions

    Identify the procedure adaptions made by a surgeon when TTFM and/or Medistim ultrasound imaging identify suboptimal graft function

    Measured: Day 1 (During surgery)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Record number of revisions

    Record how many Cardiac bypass patients experience intraoperative graft revision, the type of revision, and the key identifier motivating the revision

    Measured: Day 1 (During surgery)

  2. Record number of events

    Record post-surgical major adverse cardiac and cerebral events (MACCE) of all bypass procedure patients entered into the registry and occuring prior to discharge

    Measured: Day 1-14 (During hospitalization)

  3. Incidence rate

    To determine the incidence rate of Serious Adverse Events (SAE) and/or Unanticipated Adverse Events (UAE) throughout the registry

    Measured: 2 years (Throughout the study)

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States, Canada, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and 1 more country. 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?

Change in planned surgical procedure (time frame: Day 1 (During Surgery)). 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 NCT02385344, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 7 Sep 2018.
