Trial summary

This is a retrospective data collection looking at patients who received either an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure versus the conventional open procedure. Besides looking at cost variables in the 2 groups, other outcomes of interest include length of hospital stay, rates of infection, medication use… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Endoscopic Harvesting of the Radial Artery and Saphenous Vein Grafts in Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery.

This is a retrospective data collection looking at patients who received either an endoscopic vessel harvesting procedure versus the conventional open procedure. Besides looking at cost variables in the 2 groups, other outcomes of interest include length of hospital stay, rates of infection, medication use, re-admissions and compilations.

Read the detailed description

Since April 2018, the study database has been updated with all patients (currently there are 340 patients per group) and variables - both reflecting effectiveness of the procedure and cost. Preoperative variables being captured include comorbidity factors and variables relating to the Society of Thoracic Surgery (STS) score , which is a pre-procedure assessment of surgical risk.

The postoperative data collection includes a variety of complications and comorbidities the patient could experience during their hospital stay. These variables will provide us with information regarding procedure effectiveness, patient recovery and further costs associated with the procedure. Medications and antibiotics provided during the stay are also being captured. Total hospital costs will include any costs associated with ward stay, separated per level of care: Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Cardiac Surgical Unit (CSU), and regular ward.

The two follow up periods are 30 days and 6 months. Both look at the same effectiveness variables, any emergency room (ER) visits, re-admissions, and their respective reasons. Quality of life will be obtained by looking at the number of complications the patient experienced during these periods. The frequency of home care services provided to each patient, if any, are also being tracked. Cost calculations will be done by obtaining the time, length and number of visits to the ER, re-admissions and clinic visits.

Medtronic endoscope

What participants receive

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

  • Medtronic endoscopeDevice

    The endoscope is a minimally invasive tool used to remove veins from the leg traditionally used for CABG.

    days beyond normal length of stay

    Measured: 2 days

  2. infection

    infection of graft harvesting site

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Medtronic endoscope in people with Coronary Bypass Stenosis and Graft Infection, run by Dr. Gianluigi Bisleri.

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 15 Oct 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?

cost analysis (time frame: 6 months). 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 15 Oct 2019.
