Trial summary

Fluoroscopy is traditionally used for guidance of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). In order to minimize exposure to radiation and nephrotoxic contrast medium, it is possible to generate a navigation road map by registering the intraoperative images with preoperative computed tomography angiograph (CTA).

About this study

Fluoroscopy is traditionally used for guidance of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). In order to minimize exposure to radiation and nephrotoxic contrast medium, it is possible to generate a navigation road map by registering the intraoperative images with preoperative computed tomography angiograph (CTA). In modern hybrid operating rooms, several commercial solutions for this exists today (e.g. Siemens Syngo iPilot, Phillips Vesselnavigator). In order to register (fuse) the preoperative and intraoperative imaging to each other, a registration algorithm has to be applied. Sufficient accuracy of this algorithm is crucial, for if it fails the road map cannot be used for intraoperative navigation. The purpose of this study is therefore to evaluate two different 3D registration algorithms with regard to registration accuracy.

Read the detailed description

Two different registration algorithms will be tested:

  1. registration algorithm - centerline registration algorithm (Sintef, Trondheim) A catheter equipped with a position sensor records the travelled path of the instrument, which is assumed to be close to the centerline of the aorta. From the preoperative computer tomography scan (CT) the aorta is segmented and vessel centerline is extracted. The centerline from the position sensor recordings is registered to the extracted centerline of the preoperative CT.
  2. 3D-3D registration algorithm (Syngo iPilot, Siemens Medical Solutions, Munich). Intraoperative cone-beam-CT (CBCT) is registered to the preoperative CT

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal, run by Norwegian University of Science and Technology at 1 site in Norway.

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 5 Sep 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 Norway. 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?

Registration accuracy of registration algorithms (time frame: Immediately). 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 5 Sep 2018.
