About this study

Official title: THE Management of AntiThrOMbotic therApy in Patients Undergoing Electrophysiological Device Surgery: Italian NatiOnal Multicenter Observational REgistry (HEMATOMA NO MORE)

Hundreds of thousands patients undergo implantation or replacement of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) annually in Europe, and up to 50% of these subjects receive antiplatelet agents or oral anticoagulants. Antithrombotic therapy increases the risk of developing pocket hematoma which in turn is associated with an increased risk of potentially fatal device-related infections when clinically significant. Aim of the registry is to retrospectively (pilot local registry in Tuscany) and prospectively (multicenter national registry in Italy) investigate the different strategies for the management of antithrombotic therapy and the related complication rates (1-month and 12-months) in patients undergoing CIED surgery in a real-world setting. The registry will also provide data on the economic impact of different management strategies and complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Clinically significant pocket hematoma

    Post-procedural hematoma resulting in prolonged hospitalization and/or requiring interruption of antithrombotic therapy and/or requiring further surgery and/or requiring transfusion

    Measured: One month

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Non-clinically significant pocket hematoma

    Post-procedural hematoma not meeting diagnostic criteria for clinically significant

    Measured: One month

  2. Hemorrhagic complications other than pocket hematoma

    Hemothorax, cardiac tamponade, pericardial effusion, intracranial hemorrhage

    Measured: One month

  3. Thromboembolic complications

    Transient ischemic attack, ischemic stroke, deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, systemic embolic event, acute myocardial infarction, prosthetic cardiac valve thrombosis

    Measured: Twelve months

  4. All cause death

    Measured: Twelve months

  5. CIED-related infection

    Measured: Twelve months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Device Related Infection and Antithrombotic Drugs, run by Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria Senese at 1 site in Italy.

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 1 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 8 Feb 2019. 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 Italy. 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?

Clinically significant pocket hematoma (time frame: One month). 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 NCT03067909, 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 8 Feb 2019.
