About this study

Official title: Arterial Stiffness, Blood Pressure and Cardiac Output Study; ABC-study A Prospective, Multidisciplinary Study of Arterial Stiffness Measures in Patients Treated for Aortic Aneurysms in Relation to Blood Pressure and Cardiac Output

Comparison of non-invasively obtained central blood pressure using SphygmoCor and invasively recorded central blood pressure in patients with an AAA that will be treated with EVAR.

Read the detailed description

Primary objective of the first study: validation of non-invasive central pressure parameters in patients treated with EVAR against invasive measurements.

Objectives of subsequent studies: Do non-invasive central parameters change over time after EVAR? What is the influence of intraluminal thrombus (presence, amount, configuration) on non-invasive central pressure parameters (and other obtained parameters of arterial stiffness)? Prospective study with consecutive, eligible subject enrollment. All subjects will undergo the Endovascular Aneurysm repair procedure with an endovascular device. Subjects will be followed procedurally, at 6-8 weeks and 1 year post implantation.

This study is a collaboration of the following departments of the Vascular Center in the Rijnstate Hospital Arnhem: Vascular Surgery, Interventional radiology, Internal Vascular Medicine, Cardiology.

Patients diagnosed with an abdominal aortic or aortoiliac aneurysm who are considered candidates for endovascular repair and who meet the study eligibility criteria may be screened for enrollment in the study. Up to 20 subjects will be enrolled .

Pre-procedural high resolution, contrast-enhanced CT scan evaluation to determine anatomical eligibility for enrollment will be performed within three months of the study procedure, according to standard care. Following EC/IRB approval of the study and the written informed consent form, patients will be screened for eligibility. Following informed consent, clinical characteristics will be reported (from hospital records). Per-procedural PWA measurements will be performed simultaneously with intravascular pressure measurements pre-implantation and after completion of the endocasular implantation. Subjects will be followed at 30 days and 1 year post-implantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Pulse wave analyses; central blood presaure parameters in people with Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by Rijnstate Hospital at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 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 11 Mar 2020. 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 Netherlands. 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?

central blood pressure (time frame: one week). 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 NCT03469388, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 11 Mar 2020.
