Trial summary

Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy may suffer from neurologic deficits (ND) during the carotid cross-clamping due to cerebral hypoperfusion. An associated risk of postoperative stroke incidence is also well established. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Preoperative, Intraoperative and Postoperative Predictors of Post-clamping Neurologic Deficits During Carotid Endarterectomy With Regional Anesthesia

Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy may suffer from neurologic deficits (ND) during the carotid cross-clamping due to cerebral hypoperfusion. An associated risk of postoperative stroke incidence is also well established.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive factors associated with ND during CEA performed with RA. The perioperative implications of the ND were also evaluated.

Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy may suffer from neurologic deficits (ND) during the carotid cross-clamping due to cerebral hypoperfusion. An associated risk of postoperative stroke incidence is also well established.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the predictive factors associated with ND during CEA performed with RA. The perioperative implications of the ND were also evaluated.

All consecutive patients from a tertiary referral center who underwent CEA for carotid artery stenosis (CS) and consecutive patients who presented alterations in the neurologic examination after ICA clamping during CEA are selected. The control patients, submitted to the same procedure but with no neurologic alterations, are consecutively selected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carotid Endarterectomy, run by Universidade do Porto at 1 site in Portugal.

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 2 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Apr 2020. 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 Portugal. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Joao P Rocha-Neves, MD, MSC; MPH, FEBVS (+351910486230, joaorochaneves@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Stroke (time frame: up to 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04347785, which also lists 3 linked publications.

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 Apr 2020.
