About this study

Official title: Aortic Occlusion for Resuscitation in Trauma and Acute Care Surgery (AORTA)

Aortic occlusion (AO) for trauma has traditionally been accomplished by supra-diaphragmatic clamping of the descending thoracic aorta via emergent thoracotomy or as an initial step during laparotomy.

Read the detailed description

An evolution in endovascular technologies, however, has provided additional means by which to achieve AO. Expanding experience with the utilization of balloon occlusion in the setting of abdominal aortic rupture due to chronic vascular disease has demonstrated the potential of these new technologies. Discussion of the employment of endovascular AO in the realm of trauma has led to the description of this approach and the demonstration of its effectiveness in animal models of severe hemorrhage.

The purpose of the present study is to prospectively examine the modern utilization of AO in the acute resuscitation of trauma and acute care surgery patients in shock.

Being tested
utilization of AO in the acute resuscitation of trauma and acute care surgery patients in shock.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Occlusion, run by Methodist Health System at 1 site in United States.

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 4 inclusion and 4 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Mar 2024. 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 United States. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Demographics (time frame: 01 July 2015 through 31st December 2024). The study lists 7 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 28 Mar 2024.
