About this study

Official title: Ultrasound and Fluoroscopy Guided Percutaneous Transhepatic Biliary Drainage in Patients With Malignant Bile Duct Obstruction - Impact of Puncture Angle on Total Fluoroscopy Time Reduction

The purpose of this study is to retrospectively assess the importance of initial bile duct puncture angle on total fluoroscopy time and overall efficacy during ultrasound and fluoroscopy guided percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) performed for patients with malignant biliary hilar obstruction.

Read the detailed description

Data used for this study will be collected from medical records of patients who underwent PTBD at the Interventional radiology department. Only patients who received percutaneous biliary drainage performed with right sided intercostal approach will be included in study. The initial puncture was ultrasound-guided in all patients. Any subsequent step of the procedure was performed under fluoroscopy. The cumulative fluoroscopy time (the total time of the exposure to X rays during intervention) after the US guided puncture was recorded. It will be used as an indirect measure of the complexity of the intervention and as an important parameter of radiation exposure. The patients will be divided into two groups based on the puncture angle: ≤30° group and >30° group. The two groups will be retrospectively analysed for technical success, fluoroscopy time and complications.

What is being measured

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

  1. Total fluoroscopy time

    The initial puncture was ultrasound-guided in all patients. Any subsequent step of the procedure (PTBD) was performed under fluoroscopy. Total fluoroscopy time will be collected from Radiation Dose Report obtained in the angio suite workstation software ( General Electric Innova 540)

    Measured: during intervention

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Interventional Radiology, run by Institut za Rehabilitaciju Sokobanjska Beograd.

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 4 Dec 2020. 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?

Total fluoroscopy time (time frame: during intervention). 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 Dec 2020.
