Trial summary

Ascending aorta aneurysmal disease is common and can be complicated by dissection or rupture. There is substantial variation in individual aneurysm progression: established risk factors for an accelerated aneurysm growth rate include initial size or localization, the presence of aortic valve disease, congenital… Read more about this study

About this study

Ascending aorta aneurysmal disease is common and can be complicated by dissection or rupture. There is substantial variation in individual aneurysm progression: established risk factors for an accelerated aneurysm growth rate include initial size or localization, the presence of aortic valve disease, congenital bicuspid aortic valve or connective tissue disorders.

Read the detailed description

Although there is an increased lifetime risk when the aortic diameter exceeds 6 cm, predicting aneurysm progression is nearly impossible and dissection and rupture also occur at diameters under 6 cm. The assessment of aortic hemodynamics and the presence of altered flow patterns, as well as distribution and changes in wall shear stress (WSS) and the oscillatory shear index (OSI), using 4D phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) may provide further insights in how aneurysms develop and in assessing the risk of dissection. The purpose of this study was to investigate in patients with dilated ascending aorta the flow patterns and vessel wall parameters in order to correlate these hemodynamics factors with changes in aorta size.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between wall shear stress (WSS) and aorta diameter in patient with dilated ascending aorta

    Aorta diameter [mm] is assessed by 4D phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) Wall shear stress (WSS) in aorta [Pa] is assessed by 4D phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR).

    Measured: From baseline to 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Aorta parameters associated with change in aorta diameter

    Aorta parameters are a composite outcome :

    • the oscillatory shear index (OSI)
    • pulse wave velocity=PWV [m/s] assessed by 4D phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Aorta diameter [mm] is assessed by 4D phase contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR)

    Measured: From baseline to 1 year

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 4D Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in people with Aortic Rupture, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 1 site in France.

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 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 Nov 2020. 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 France. 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?

Correlation between wall shear stress (WSS) and aorta diameter in patient with dilated ascending aorta (time frame: From baseline to 1 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 13 Nov 2020.
