About this study

To prevent thromboembolic complications, the embolization procedure is performed under prophylactic unfractionated heparin, the efficacy of which is monitored by point-of- care testing according to international guidelines. However, these guidelines are based on limited scientific evidence and the ideal level of anticoagulation required has not been precisely defined. Furthermore, the correlation between the point-of- care tests used at Amiens University Hospital and the reference methods used in the laboratory varies considerably according to the available literature.

Read the detailed description

Since the beginning of the 2000s, the reference treatment for the management of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage consists of interventional neuroradiology with coil embolization of the aneurysm. Although ensuring a better neurological prognosis than neurosurgical clipping, interventional neuroradiology exposes the patient to various risks: thromboembolic complications during or after embolization and re-rupture of the aneurysm during embolization. To prevent thromboembolic complications, the embolization procedure is performed under prophylactic unfractionated heparin, the efficacy of which is monitored by point-of- care testing according to international guidelines. However, these guidelines are based on limited scientific evidence and the ideal level of anticoagulation required has not been precisely defined. Furthermore, the correlation between the point-of- care tests used at Amiens University Hospital and the reference methods used in the laboratory varies considerably according to the available literature.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aneurysm, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire, Amiens at 1 site in France.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Oct 2018. 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 France. 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?

correlation between laboratory clotting tests and point-of-care clotting tests (time frame: 6 months). 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 12 Oct 2018.
