About this study

Official title: Association of Peripheral Atherosclerotic Burden With the Short-term and Long-term Outcome in Patients With Elective Myocardial Revascularisation

The study is a prospective-observational, explorative single-centre cohort study aimed to examine the influence of the peripheral atherosclerotic plaque volume on short and long term morbidity and mortality in patient after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Atherosclerotic disease (IMT, plaque volume) will be measured with a ultrasound system (IMT measurements and 3D quantitative plaque volumetric). Hemodynamic and flow profiles of the internal thoracic arteries will be evaluated additionally with US. These parameters will be measured pre-CABG.

Morbidity will be evaluated using quality of life questionnaires (EQ-5D-3L, IPAQ). Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) will be the primary endpoint. The atherosclerotic burden will be compared with established risk scores (EuroSCORE, STS-Score, SYNTAX Score, FORECAST.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association of MACE rates with peripheral atherosclerotic volume

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Association of morbidity with peripheral atherosclerotic volume

    Morbidity will be evaluated with quality of life assessment ("EQ-5D-3L", "IPAQ"

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Comparison of predictive value of peripheral atherosclerotic volume with established risk scores for cardiovascular operations and interventions

    Risk scores include STS Score and Euro Score

    Measured: 1 year

  2. Association of the duration of the operation with peripheral atherosclerotic volume

    Measured: 30 days

  3. Association of flow profiles of internal mammary artery with LIMA/RIMA graft patency rates

    Measured: 5 years

  4. Association of the aortic clamp time with peripheral atherosclerotic volume

    Measured: 30 days

  5. Association of the ICU stay with peripheral atherosclerotic volume

    Measured: 30 days

  6. Association of the hospitalization duration with peripheral atherosclerotic volume

    Measured: 30 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Atherosclerosis, run by Medical University Innsbruck at 1 site in Austria.

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 23 Oct 2023. 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 Austria. 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?

Association of MACE rates with peripheral atherosclerotic volume (time frame: 5 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 23 Oct 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 29 Oct 2026.
