About this study

Official title: A Comparative Study of Mild Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Versus Moderate Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest on Aortic Surgery.

By comparing the clinical outcome of patients underwent different hypothermic circulatory arrest (mild hypothermic versus moderate hypothermic) during aortic arch surgery, this study aims to determine the optimal hypothermic circulatory arrest strategy for aortic surgery.

Read the detailed description

Hypothermic circulatory arrest (HCA) is the cornerstone of aortic surgery. It provides a bloodless and still operative field. But the side effect of hypothermia also draws people's concern. With the development of surgical techniques and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) management, the temperature of HCA has been raised from deep hypothermia (14.1-20 degree) to moderate hypothermia (20.1-28 degree), and it has been a primary choice for many surgeons around the world. Some of surgeons still tried to push the limit and started using mild hypothermia (28.1-34 degree), and satisfactory outcome was obtained. However, the optimal temperature of HCA has not yet been determined.

In this randomized controlled study, 80 informed and consenting patients who are scheduled for total arch replacement with concomitant proximal aortic reconstruction will be randomized to mild (28.1-34 degree) or moderate (20.1-28 degree) hypothermia during circulatory arrest. Clinical outcomes of both groups will be analyzed to determine the optimal temperature for HCA.

What is being measured

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

  1. Mortality

    In-hospital Mortality or other related death

    Measured: 3 months within surgery.

  2. Re-thoracotomy

    Postoperative bleeding or other conditions require re-thoracotomy

    Measured: Through the hospitalization, an average of 4 weeks.

  3. Neurological disorder

    Any neurological event occur after surgery, including transient and permanent.

    Measured: Through the hospitalization, an average of 4 weeks.

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. HCA time

    the time of hypothermic circulatory arrest

    Measured: During the operation

  2. Aorta-cross clamp time

    the time of aortic-cross clamp

    Measured: During the operation

  3. CPB time

    the time of cardiopulmonary bypass

    Measured: During the operation

  4. Operation time

    the time of the entire surgery.

    Measured: During the operation

  5. ICU stay

    the day of ICU treatment

    Measured: Through the ICU stay, an average of 1 weeks.

  6. Time of mechanical ventilation

    the time of using respirator

    Measured: Through the use of ventilation, an average of 3 days.

  7. Blood transfusion

    the number of blood product during the hospitalization, including red blood cell, platelet, plasma and so on.

    Measured: Through the hospitalization, an average of 4 weeks.

  8. Dialysis

    postoperative renal failure requiring dialysis

    Measured: Through the hospitalization, an average of 4 weeks.

  9. Hospital stay

    the time of hospitalization

    Measured: Through the hospitalization, an average of 4 weeks.

  10. Postoperative aneurysm

    Aortic aneurysm develope after the surgery

    Measured: 1 year within the surgery

  11. Postoperative endoleak

    Stent-graft endoleak occurs after the surgery.

    Measured: 1 year within the surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing the temperature of hypothermic circulatory arrest in people with Morality and Hypothermic Circulatory Arrest Time, run by Xiaoping Fan. MD 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 10 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 6 Aug 2018. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Mortality (time frame: 3 months within surgery.). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 6 Aug 2018.
