About this study

This study involves adolescents operated with arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries during the neonatal period. The purpose is to evaluate the coronary arteries and direct and indirect findings of coronary artery disease/complications with 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging.

Read the detailed description

This study involves adolescents operated with arterial switch procedure for transposition of the great arteries during the neonatal period. The patients were operated with two different methods of re-implantation of the coronary arteries ("trap-door"/non-"trap-door", see description below).

Being tested
3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging findings; coronary artery status, 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging findings; ventricular function and morphology
Keywords
Child, adolescent, Coronary artery disease, Magnetic resonance imaging
Medical subject headings
Transposition of Great Vessels, Coronary Artery Disease

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Switch "trap-door" re-implantation of the coronariesRe-implantation of the coronary arteries into the neo-aortic sinuses through a "trap-door" as far distally as possible on the neo-aorta
Receives: Other: 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging findings; coronary artery status; Other: 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging findings; ventricular function and morphology
Switch non-"trap-door" re-implantation of the coronariesRe-implantation of the coronary arteries into the neo-aortic sinuses through small incisions or excision in the sinuses
Receives: Other: 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging findings; coronary artery status; Other: 3 tesla magnetic resonance imaging findings; ventricular function and morphology

What is being measured

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

  1. Direct visualization and status of the coronary arteries, global volume measurements, global and regional strain (myocardial contractility), extravascular, extracellular tissue volume fraction and late enhancement (myocardial fibrosis).

    Measured: 10-15 years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Comparison of image quality of direct visualization of the coronary arteries with and without contrast enhanced techniques.

    Measured: 10-15 years after surgery

  2. Comparison of coronary artery findings corresponding to indirect functional and morphological findings in MRI and echocardiography in the left and right ventricle.

    Measured: 10-15 years after surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Transposition of Great Vessels and Surgery, run by Oslo University Hospital at 1 site in Norway.

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 6 inclusion and 0 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 25 May 2017. 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 Norway. 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?

Direct visualization and status of the coronary arteries, global volume measurements, global and regional strain (myocardial contractility), extravascular, extracellular tissue volume fraction and late enhancement (myocardial fibrosis). (time frame: 10-15 years after surgery). 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 25 May 2017.
