About this study

This study is set up to test the robustness of algorithms and models and to optimize them. Furthermore, data are used to investigate the influence of probe orientation on parameters of the common carotid artery.

Read the detailed description

This study has four objectives:

  1. Determine the robustness of the placement and measurement algorithms with ultrasound images, obtained with different ultrasound system settings and probe movements.
  2. Verificate and optimize the arterial blood flow model.
  3. Determine the variation in location and size of the arteries and veins in the area around the common carotid artery.
  4. Determine the influence of probe orientation on parameters obtained from ultrasound measurements of the common carotid artery.

Sample size and missing data Due to limited time in the operating room, the measurement protocol is divided into four parts. Per protocol part data of 25 patients is deemed sufficient to be able to answer the above-mentioned objectives, which would result in a total of 100 inclusions. However, the investigators expect to perform more than one measurement protocol per patient, due to which a total of 75 inclusions is needed. Patients of whom the data is qualitatively too low to be used for analysis will be replaced. As such, the investigators make sure to have qualitatively good data of 25 patients per protocol part.

What is being measured

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

  1. Robustness of placement and measurement algorithms.

    Using the obtained US images of the common carotid artery, the robustness of our algorithms for placement and measurements will be checked.

    Measured: During data acquisition, which is pre-surgery.

  2. Verify and improve the arterial blood flow model.

    Using the obtained US images of the common carotid artery, our arterial blood flow model will be verified and adapted.

    Measured: During data acquisition, which is pre-surgery.

  3. Orientation of ultrasound probe.

    Using the obtained US images of the common carotid artery, the influence of probe orientation on carotid artery parameters will be investigated.

    Measured: During data acquisition, which is pre-surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Coronary Artery Disease and Aortic Valve Disease, run by Catharina Ziekenhuis Eindhoven at 1 site in Netherlands.

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 2 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 14 Feb 2023. 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 Netherlands. 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 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?

Robustness of placement and measurement algorithms. (time frame: During data acquisition, which is pre-surgery.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 14 Feb 2023.
