About this study

Ongoing registration of deep venous obstructive disease patients treated by means of percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting with or without endophlebectomy (surgical desobstruction, also termed endovenectomy) of the common femoral vein and/or arteriovenous fistula creation.

Read the detailed description

Literature has shown endovenous reconstructions to be safe en effective in treating deep venous obstructive disease. Deep venous obstruction can develop in cases of (iliac) vein compression syndromes (e.g. May-Thurner syndrome) or in cases of post-thrombotic syndrome. In patients with both significant complaints (objectively measured) and venous obstruction objectified on imaging (duplex ultrasonography, magnetic resonance venography, CT-venography) stenting is indicated.

In cases of extensive post-thrombotic damage to the veins of the lower extremity endophlebectomy (surgical desobstruction) of the common femoral vein can be warranted. This operation is generally combined with the creation of an arteriovenous fistula.

Data of patients treated in our tertiary medical centre are entered in a prospective digital database, and continuously updated.

What is being measured

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

  1. Change in patency (primary, assisted primary and secondary) of the treated vein tracts assessed by duplex ultrasonography at regular time intervals.

    Patency is defined as the presence of bloodflow as imaged by use of duplex ultrasonography. Patency will be divided in 3 subgroups; primary patency, assisted primary patency and secondary patency.

    Primary patency is defined as presence of bloodflow during follow-up without any interventions undertaken to preserve or reclaim the openness of the treated vein segments.

    Assisted primary patency is defined as the presence of bloodflow during follow-up after use of an intervention to preserve the openness of the treated vein segments.

    Secondary patency is defined as the presence of bloodflow during follow-up after use of an intervention to reclaim the openness of the treated vein segments.

    Measured: 2, 6, 12, 23, 52 weeks post-intervention and yearly afterwards

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Change in Quality of Life (QoL), assessed by Short form (SF)-36 health survey.

    The SF-36 is a generic QoL questionnaire.

    Measured: Baseline, 12 and 52 weeks post-intervention, and yearly thereafter.

  2. Change in QoL, assessed by EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) questionnaire.

    The EQ-5D is a generic QoL questionnaire.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 12 months post-intervention and yearly afterwards

  3. Change in QoL, assessed by Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study-quality of life/symptoms scales (VEINES-QoL/sym).

    The VEINES-QoL/sym is a disease-specific QoL questionnaire aimed at venous disease.

    Measured: Baseline, 3 and 12 months post-intervention and yearly afterwards

  4. Change in Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS).

    The VCSS is a validated scoring system for assessing signs, symptoms and complaints of venous disease.

    Measured: Baseline, 2, 6, 12, 23, 52 weeks post-intervention and yearly afterwards

  5. Change in Villalta scale

    The Villalta scale is a validated scoring system for assessing signs, symptoms and complaints of the post-thrombotic syndrome.

    Measured: Baseline, 2, 6, 12, 23, 52 weeks post-intervention and yearly afterwards

  6. Venous claudication; number of patients with presence or absence of venous claudication pre-intervention and post-intervention during follow-up.

    Venous claudication is the pain which develops in patients with obstructive-type venous disease during ambulation and other types of exercise, and which typically subsides when the patient rests in a lying down position or when sitting with elevation of the lower extremity. It is one of the clinically most important symptoms of (obstructive) venous disease. There is currently no validated or internationally accepted scoring system available. We will therefore note the presence of this typical symptom before treatment, and at regular intervals post-intervention (i.e. 2, 6, 12, 23, 52 weeks post-intervention and yearly afterwards).

    Measured: Baseline, 2, 6, 12, 23, 52 weeks post-intervention and yearly afterwards

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Venous Thrombosis, run by Maastricht University Medical Center at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 Jan 2016. 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 Netherlands. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Mark A de Wolf, MD (m.dewolf@maastrichtuniversity.nl), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Change in patency (primary, assisted primary and secondary) of the treated vein tracts assessed by duplex ultrasonography at regular time intervals. (time frame: 2, 6, 12, 23, 52 weeks post-intervention and yearly afterwards). 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 8 Jan 2016.
