Trial summary

The objective was to assess if performing a pre-intervention gadolinium-enhanced extracranial magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) in addition to intracranial vascular imaging was associated with improved thrombectomy time metrics. Read more about this study

About this study

The objective was to assess if performing a pre-intervention gadolinium-enhanced extracranial magnetic resonance angiogram (MRA) in addition to intracranial vascular imaging was associated with improved thrombectomy time metrics.

Consecutive patients (912) treated by mechanical thrombectomy (MT) at a large comprehensive stroke center between January 2012 and December 2017 who were screened using pre-intervention MRI were included. Patient's characteristics and procedural data were collected. Analyses were performed to compare mechanical thrombectomy speed, efficacy, complications, and clinical outcomes between patients with and without pre-intervention gadolinium-enhanced extracranial MRA.

What participants receive

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

  • gadolinium-enhanced extracranial magnetic resonance angiogramProcedure or surgery

    288 of the 912 acute ischemic stroke patients received gadolinium-enhanced extracranial MRA additionally to the standardized stroke MRI imaging protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. time from groin puncture to clot contact

    in minute time from onset to recanalization complications [embolic or hemorrhagic]

    Measured: 1 day

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. modified Rankin Score

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Stroke, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild.

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 0 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 Jun 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

time from groin puncture to clot contact (time frame: 1 day). 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 Jun 2019.
