About this study

Mortality of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) remains high because of the huge blood lost from the aorta. Questions about the potentially genetic effects on sporadic TAAD are raised by researchers to explore the possible mechanisms leading to sporadic TAAD and to establish new clinical approaches to prevent TAAD-caused adverse clinical outcomes. This study is intended to collect the gene information in sporadic TAAD patients and to explore the relationship between genetic variation and the incidence of sporadic TAAD for further study.

Read the detailed description

Thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) is a critical clinical condition partly due to the rupture of aortic aneurysm. Mostly, surgical treatment can reduce the symptoms and extend life span of patients with thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD). However, mortality of TAAD remains high because of the huge blood lost from the aorta. Sporadic TAAD was considered to be a server consequence of hypertension, though most patients with hypertension won't have TAAD as their final outcomes. Previous studies have revealed the associations between genetic abnormalities and familial TAAD, and genetic tests have applied to assist the diagnosis of certain TAAD. Therefore, the potentially genetic effects on sporadic TAAD are explored by researchers to understand the possible mechanisms leading to sporadic TAAD and to establish new clinical approaches to prevent TAAD-caused adverse clinical outcomes. This study is intended to collect the gene information in sporadic TAAD patients and to explore the relationship between genetic variation and the incidence of sporadic TAAD for further study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Numbers of patients having thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or dissection are recorded. Diagnosis are confirmed by imaging analysis (CTA and/or Ultrasound) or by doctors during the operations.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Dissection of Aorta, Thoracic and Aneurysm of Aorta, Thoracic, run by Wuhan Asia Heart Hospital at 1 site in China.

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 2 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 13 Apr 2021. 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 China. 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?

Numbers of patients having thoracic aortic aneurysm and/or dissection are recorded. Diagnosis are confirmed by imaging analysis (CTA and/or Ultrasound) or by doctors during the operations. (time frame: 6 months). 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 13 Apr 2021.
