About this study

Official title: Venous Distension in Patients With Aneurysmatic Arterial Disease Compared to the Venous Distension in Patients With Arterial Occlusive Disease

The aim of the study is to assess if venous distension in patients with aneurysmatic arteriopathy is higher compared to patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) and in controls.

Read the detailed description

Patients with aortic aneurysm and patients with PAOD and Controls will be investigated in the following manner: Duplexsonography with assessment of the arterial diameters in the aorta and leg arteries. Duplexsonography with assessment of venous reflux in proximal and deep veins of both legs Duplexsonography testing of venous distension in the common femoral vein, the great saphenous vein and the femoral vein.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal and Popliteal Artery Aneurysm, run by Kantonsspital Baselland Bruderholz.

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 4 inclusion and 6 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 4 Apr 2017. 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?

Venous distension of > 27% in patients with aneurysmatic arterial disease (time frame: one year). 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 NCT02867501, which also lists 2 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 4 Apr 2017.
