About this study

Official title: Non-selective Assessment of Carotid Artery Stenosis and Lower Limb Peripheral Ischemia Prior to Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery

From our experience among Egyptian population in our institution, there is an increased prevalence of hidden subclinical peripheral artery disease along with carotid artery affection. Thus, increasing the risk of post-operative morbid complications.We aim to evaluate routine/ non-selective carotid and peripheral arterial screening in asymptomatic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in the Egyptian populationIt is a prospective, non-randomized, comparative study including two groups of patients. The study will start from the day of approval of the ethical committee. It will include 260 patients, on basis of "all new comers". Patients will be examined and classified as "high-risk" group (ɳ = 130) or "low-risk" group (ɳ=130).

All patients will have the "routine" preoperative investigations along with evaluation of extracranial carotid system by non-invasive carotid duplex and lower limb arterial system by non-invasive bilateral lower limb arterial duplex.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing carotid duplex, both LL arterial duplex in people with Carotid Artery Diseases and Peripheral Artery Disease, run by Mr Ihab Ali at 1 site in Egypt.

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 11 inclusion and 9 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 26 May 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 Egypt. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

culprit pathology in carotid and / or lower limb duplex (time frame: 6 months). 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 NCT03516929, 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 26 May 2020.
