About this study

Official title: Can the Effects of Cold and Hot Ischemia Time on Biliary Complications in Live Donor Liver Transplantation Be Classified?

The study was designed as a prospective cohort study. The effects of hot and cold ischemic times during live donor liver transplantation on postoperative 1-3 and 6 month follow up biliary complications will be investigated.

Read the detailed description

The invastigators will record the age, gender, weight, diagnosis, presence of hcc (hepatocellular carcinoma), whether transcatheter embolization (transarterial radiolabelization) is performed, meld score, age of donor, gender, graft hepatic artery diameter, bile duct diameter and number before surgery.

During the operation,

The duration of ischemia will be evaluated as three stages.

During the first stage donor hepatectomy, the time from the interruption of the hepatic artery to the first administration of the solution to the bile ducts on the back table will be recorded and recorded as the first ischemia time.

The time from the administration of the solution to the biliary system on the stage 2 back-to-back table until the cold anastomosis is performed will be recorded as the duration of cold ischemia.

The time from the third graft to receipt of the graft to the end of the hepatic artery anastomosis will be recorded as the second ischemia time.

The duration of operation, whether or not pringle maneuvers were performed, hepatic artery thrombus, graft bile number, number of bile anastomoses, lowest biliary tract diameter and hepatic artery diameter

After the surgery,

The use of immunosuppression (Tacrolimus, certican or combined use) will be recorded.

During the follow-up period of 1,3,6 months, complaints of the patients, laboratory values and imaging methods as well as whether or not there is biliary complication (leakage, stenosis) will be recorded.

If the complication develops during follow-up, the procedure (follow-up, ercp, ptk, surgery) will be recorded.

Since the study is observational, normal treatment will not be involved.

Participants will not be included in the study in the presence of hepaticojejunostomy patients, cadaveric transplant patients, pediatric transplant patients, Cmv infection, hepatic artery thrombosis, portal thrombosis, acute rejection in the first operation.

Participants with live donor liver transplant patients, multiple gallbladder anastomoses or single bile duct multiple anastomoses will be included.

When the power analysis for the study was taken as α = 0.05 and 1-β (power) = 0,80, it was calculated that at least 99 patients should be taken to have a difference of 38% in the rates of biliary complication in cold ischemia.

The demographic and all findings of the disease will be collected at excell and at the end of the study all the findings will be statistically evaluated and the results will be evaluated.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • liver transplantationProcedure or surgery

    calculation of hot and cold ischemia durations from donor artery cut-off time in liver transplantation

What is being measured

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

  1. development of biliary complication in the first month after liver transplantation

    biliary complication at the first month after transplantation and whether this complication is interfered with or not will be evaluated.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. development of biliary complication in the three months after liver transplantation

    biliary complication at the third month after transplantation and whether this complication is interfered with or not will be evaluated.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. development of biliary complication in the six month after liver transplantation

    biliary complication at the sixth month after transplantation and whether this complication is interfered with or not will be evaluated.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Biliary Stricture and Bile Duct Stenosi, run by Inonu University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 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 3 Oct 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

development of biliary complication in the first month after liver transplantation (time frame: 1 month). 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 3 Oct 2019.
