Trial summary

Restenosis due to myo-intimal hyperplasia remains a concern after carotid endarterectomy. It occurs in around 6% of cases. Several risk factors for restenosis have already been identified, such as smoking, hypertension, female gender, diabetes, dyslipidemia and small carotid diameter. Read more about this study

About this study

Restenosis due to myo-intimal hyperplasia remains a concern after carotid endarterectomy. It occurs in around 6% of cases. Several risk factors for restenosis have already been identified, such as smoking, hypertension, female gender, diabetes, dyslipidemia and small carotid diameter. The main objective of this prospective multicenter study was to determine whether the technical characteristics of the eversion technique have an influence on the rate of restenosis at 1 year.

Between September 2021 and November 2022, we followed all patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy by eversion in 8 French hospitals. Demographic data, operative indications and technical characteristics of the endarterectomies performed were collected. These were defined by the circumferential nature of the carotid bulb according to 3 types (TREC A, B or C), and the length and depth of the endarterectomy according to anatomopathological reports. Post-operative complications were collected as much as doppler ultrasonography at three months and 1 year to quantify restenosis.

Read the detailed description

Before the surgery, the following data is collected :

  • General data: Sex, age, weight, height
  • History and cardiovascular risk factors: diabetes, high blood pressure, dyslipidemia, smoking, chronic renal failure, etc.
  • Current treatments taken by the patient
  • The degree of initial stenosis of the carotid artery of interest on duplex ultrasound as well as on CT angiography
  • The context of endarterectomy if it occurs following a stroke or preventively.

Data to be recovered post-operatively from carotid surgery :

  • The operative report specifying the circumferential nature of the carotid endarterectomy on the common carotid-external carotid axis. 3 possible categories: no endarterectomy, non-circumferential partial endarterectomy, circumferential endarterectomy.
  • Post-operative doppler (< 1 month) assessing the presence of residual stenosis.
  • The patient's operative consequences with the occurrence of intercurrent cardiological events (cardiological, biological or electrocardiographic), neurological (central or peripheral), post-operative complications such as cervical hematoma.

Visit between month 1 and month 3 :

  • The anatomopathological report specifying: Length of the endarterectomy part in millimeters and the depth of the endarterectomy according to the location of the separation plane at the level of the artery wall (deep or superficial intimal plane).
  • Doppler assessing the presence of carotid restenosis
  • The occurrence of central neurological events that may be related to the endarterectomized carotid artery

Visit at one year :

  • Doppler assessing the presence of carotid restenosis
  • The occurrence of central neurological events that may be related to the endarterectomized carotid artery

    Collection of data from the medical record for patients with a non specific carotid endarterectomy

What is being measured

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

  1. Rate of restenosis

    The main objective is to evaluate the rate of restenosis at doppler(defined as restenosis ≥50%(NASCET/ECST)) occurring at one year, according to the technical characteristics of the eversion. They are defined according to three distinct criteria: the circumferential nature of the endarterectomy at the level of the carotid bifurcation, the length of the endarterectomy and its depth in the plane of the intima.

    Measured: one year

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Morbidity and mortality rate

    Cumulative morbidity and mortality rate at 30 days defined by:

    • All-cause mortality within 30 days post-op
    • Major neurological event defined as the occurrence of a stroke (focal signs lasting more than 24 hours, confirmed by brain imaging)

    Measured: 30 days

  2. Major cardiological event

    Major cardiological event defined by troponin elevation with chest pain (or equivalent symptom) and/or ECG changes in favor of myocardial ischemia

    Measured: one year

  3. Minor neurological events

    Minor neurological events: peripheral neurological and/or cranial nerve damage (tongue deviation, dysphonia, swallowing disorder).

    Measured: one year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hyperplasia, run by University Hospital, Angers.

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 3 inclusion and 5 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 22 Feb 2024. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Gautier HAUPERT, Dr (02 41 35 38 38, gautier.haupert@chu-angers.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Rate of restenosis (time frame: one year). 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 22 Feb 2024.
