About this study

Official title: Prospective, Randomized, Single Center Study of Atherothrombotic and Thromboembolic Events After Carotid Artery Stenting Using Transfemoral and Transradial Approach

The aim is to compare the safety of using transfemoral and transradial approach in patient undergoing carotid arteries stenting.

Read the detailed description

The use of transradial approach in carotid arteries stenting can significantly decrease the amount of adverse events associated with transfemoral approach such as bleeding or hematoma. Otherwise providing transradial approach is fraught with technical difficulties of common carotid artery canulation that can result in embolic complications. Taking into account the absence of studies in this area of medicine, providing investigation evaluating parameters of safety for both methodics is very actual.

What participants receive

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

  • Transradial carotid artery stentingProcedure or surgery

    The radial artery is punctured with a trocar. A guidewire is advanced through its lumen, and the trocar is withdrawn. An introducer is passed into the vessel. Then a standard endovascular procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and fluoroscopic control. To prevent cerebral embolism, a protection device is positioned distally of target lesion in internal carotid artery. Then balloon angioplasty of target lesion (if required) is provided. After the angiographic control stent is implanted. After removing all of devices a control angiographic study is provided. Medical therapy includes aspirin(acid acetylsalicylic) 125 - 300 mg/d and plavix (clopidogrel) in dose 300-600 mg prescription before the procedure and heparin sodium injection during the procedure(5000 U iv). After the procedure aspirin(acid acetylsalicylic) in dose 100 mg/d within long period should be prescribed in all the patients, and Plavix (clopidogrel) in dose 75/d should be prescribed within 2 months.

  • Transfemoral carotid artery stentingProcedure or surgery

    The common femoral artery is punctured with a trocar. A guidewire is advanced through its lumen, and the trocar is withdrawn. An introducer is passed into the vessel. Then a standard endovascular procedure is carried out under local anesthesia and fluoroscopic control. To prevent cerebral embolism, a protection device is positioned distally of target lesion in internal carotid artery. Then balloon angioplasty of target lesion (if required) is provided.

What is being measured

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

  1. Cerebral embolism

    Amount of intraoperative micro- and macroembolic complications evaluated as an occurence of new ipsilateral ischemic lesions estimated due to brain MRI data.

    Measured: during 24 hours after carotid artery stenting

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Cerebral embolism

    Amount of intraoperative microembolic signals revealed by transcranial ultrasound Doppler examination.

    Measured: intraoperative

  2. MACCE

    Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) including: including: All-cause mortality, Myocardial infarction, Stent thrombosis, Clinically indicated Target lesion revascularization, Any target lesion revascularization, Any target vessel revascularization.

    Measured: during 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  3. Neurocognitive disorders

    Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    Measured: before and 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  4. Neurocognitive disorders

    Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RALVT)

    Measured: before and 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  5. Neurocognitive disorders

    Grooved Pegboard test

    Measured: before and 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  6. Neurocognitive disorders

    Boston Naming Test

    Measured: before and 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  7. Neurocognitive disorders

    Geriatric Depression Scale

    Measured: before and 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  8. Neurocognitive disorders

    Weschler Test of Adult Reading (WTAR)

    Measured: before and 30 days after carotid artery stenting

  9. Device success

    Device success is defined as achievement of a final residual diameter stenosis 20% during the initial procedure.

    Measured: intraoperative

  10. Lesion success

    Lesion success, defined as achievement of a final residual diameter stenosis 20% with use of any percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) approach.

    Measured: intraoperative

  11. In-hospital procedure success

    Procedure success is defined as achievement of a final residual diameter stenosis 20% together with the absence of any in-hospital major adverse cardiac event.

    Measured: Within 5-day hospitalization

  12. Operative access complications

    Bleeding, aneurisms, large hematomas, atrioventricular fistula

    Measured: intraoperative/ 1 day after operation

  13. Fluoroscopic time

    Measured: intraoperative

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transradial carotid artery stenting and Transfemoral carotid artery stenting in people with Carotid Atherosclerosis and Carotid Stenosis, run by Meshalkin Research Institute of Pathology of Circulation at 1 site in Russia.

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 5 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 29 Jun 2017. 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 Russia. 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?

Cerebral embolism (time frame: during 24 hours after carotid artery stenting). 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 29 Jun 2017.
