Trial summary

The true incidence of thrombosis in the portal venous system after blunt splenic trauma is unknown and has not been elucidated in the medical literature. The investigators hypothesize that this entity is more common than previously suspected. Consequences of missing this diagnosis can be clinically significant, i.e. Read more about this study

About this study

The true incidence of thrombosis in the portal venous system after blunt splenic trauma is unknown and has not been elucidated in the medical literature. The investigators hypothesize that this entity is more common than previously suspected. Consequences of missing this diagnosis can be clinically significant, i.e. mesenteric ischemia in the acute phase and portal venous hypertension in the chronic phase. Early diagnosis would facilitate treatment with anticoagulation and avoidance of these complications. In a prospective fashion, doppler ultrasound will be performed prior to discharge and at 3 months in all patients 18 and up who have sustained blunt splenic trauma. Clinical follow-up will be extended to 6 months in patients initially diagnosed with thrombosis in the portal venous system on their 3 month ultrasound. The investigators will attempt to identify risk factors in this trauma population that would facilitate an early screening protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. Utilizing doppler ultrasound to assess the presence of partial or complete thrombosis in the portal venous system (splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, inferior mesenteric vein and/or portal vein) after blunt splenic trauma.

    Measured: Prior to discharge.

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Utilizing follow-up doppler ultrasound to assess change in the presence of partial or complete thrombosis in the portal venous system (splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, inferior mesenteric vein and/or portal vein) after blunt splenic trauma.

    Measured: 3 months following injury.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thrombosis of Portal Venous System., run by Rambam Health Care Campus at 1 site in Israel.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Aug 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 Israel. 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?

Contact Hany Bahouth, M.D (h_bahouth@rambam.health.gov.il), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Utilizing doppler ultrasound to assess the presence of partial or complete thrombosis in the portal venous system (splenic vein, superior mesenteric vein, inferior mesenteric vein and/or portal vein) after blunt splenic trauma. (time frame: Prior to discharge.). 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 NCT01906983, which also lists 7 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?
