About this study

Official title: Multimodal Imaging Analysis, OCT-angiography (Optical Coherence Tomography) and SD-OCT (Spectral Domain Optical Coherence Tomography), of Retinal and Choroidal Variations Observed After a Revascularization Procedure on the Internal Carotid Artery

The purpose of this study is to describe the changes in morphology and Retinal vascularization after revascularization of the internal carotid artery. Indeed, the stenosis of the internal carotid artery can lead to ophthalmological charts. The underlying hypothesis is that revascularization of the internal carotid artery would improve ipsilateral and retinal homolateral perfusion in the short term. The OCT-angiography technique accurately studies the retinal vasculature and also assesses the risk of retinal and choroidal embolism, which is recognized as increased in cases of symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

Read the detailed description

The stenosis of the internal carotid artery is a frequent and potentially serious pathology (TIA, ischemic stroke, death), which can also be manifested by ophthalmological charts, foremost among which are transient monocular blindness.

The most common etiology of this stenosis remains the atheromatous pathology, whose treatment, depending on the symptomatic or non-symptomatic nature of the stenosis, includes, among other things, a revascularization procedure that may be surgical (endarterectomy, reference treatment) or guided by radiology (angioplasty and carotid stent placement)

From the anatomical point of view, the internal carotid artery notably has for branching the ophthalmological artery, which itself will give birth:

  • at the central artery of the retina: role in the vascularization of the inner layers of the retina
  • posterior ciliary arteries: role in the choroidal vasculature and outer layers of the retina.

Very little knowledge at the present time relates changes in retinal and choroidal vascularization after a revascularization procedure on the internal carotid artery OCT-angiography is a non-invasive imaging technique that is now part of investigative examinations in retinal imaging. This technique makes it possible to study the macular and choroidal retinal vascularization with precision without injection of contrast medium and thus allows to deepen the knowledge in medical fields where the exploration was until now limited because of the invasiveness of the examinations.

The hypothesis of this project is that revascularization of the internal carotid artery would improve retinal and choroidal ipsilateral perfusion in the short term (1 month postoperatively), as assessed by OCT-angiography. OCT-angiography could also be used to assess retinal and choroidal embolism risk, usually recognized as increased in cases of symptomatic or asymptomatic carotid stenosis.

What is being measured

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

  1. homolateral retinal and choroidal vascular density (%)

    Finely describe the homolateral retinal and choroidal vascular density changes in the macula in OCT-angiography at 1 month after revascularization on the internal carotid artery

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Vascular density of contralateral eye (%)

    Describe the variations of vascular density in OCT-A on the controlateral eye after revascularization

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Subfoveal choroidal thickness

    Describe the variations of subfoveal choroidal thickness in OCT-EDI (Enhanced depth imaging optical coherence tomography) after revascularization

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Optical fiber thickness

    Describe the variations in homolateral optical fiber thickness in RNFL ( Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer)OCT after revascularization

    Measured: 1 month

  4. retinal and choroidal vascular density (%)

    Compare the retinal and choroidal variations according to the proposed procedure: conventional surgery or angioplasty and stenting

    Measured: 1 month

  5. Intraocular pressure (mm Hg)

    Compare changes in intraocular pressure before and after revascularization procedure

    Measured: 1 month

  6. Retinal and choroidal vascular density (%) according to the type of carotid stenosis

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carotid Artery Injuries, run by Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Creteil at 1 site in France.

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 3 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jan 2022. 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 France. 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 was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

homolateral retinal and choroidal vascular density (%) (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 4 Jan 2022.
