Trial summary

Worldwide 200 million adults annually undergo major noncardiac surgery and 5 million of these patients will suffer a major vascular complication. Despite the magnitude of this problem our capacity to predict these events is limited. Read more about this study

About this study

Worldwide 200 million adults annually undergo major noncardiac surgery and 5 million of these patients will suffer a major vascular complication. Despite the magnitude of this problem our capacity to predict these events is limited. Although perioperative myocardial infarction (MI) is the most common major perioperative cardiac complication, little is known about its pathophysiology. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) is a potential non-invasive method for the detection of coronary artery disease and cardiac risk stratification in the non-operative setting; however, the value of this test to enhance risk prediction among patients scheduled for noncardiac surgery is unknown. This study is an international prospective cohort study to determine among patients with, or at risk of, atherosclerotic disease who are undergoing noncardiac surgery: 1) if preoperative coronary CTA has additional predictive value for the occurrence of major perioperative cardiac events and 2) the underlying coronary anatomy associated with perioperative MIs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cardiovascular Disease, run by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) at 1 site in Canada.

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 14 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 28 Apr 2015. 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 Canada. 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?

Perioperative MI (time frame: 30-days post-operative). 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 NCT01635309, which also lists 2 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 28 Apr 2015.
