About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Pre- and Post-operative Brain MRI in Carotid Endarterectomy

Patients undergoing carotid endarterectomy in the Department of Vascular Surgery at Oslo University Hospital are consecutively included in this evaluation og pre- and postoperative brain MRI.

Read the detailed description

Patients undergoing surgery for carotid stenosis in our Department are examined by brain MRI before and after carotid surgery to evaluate the rationale for the MRI. Brain lesions on MRI before and after carotid surgery are registered, and related to clinical findings. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether brain MRI in relation to carotid endarterectomy gives additional information to clinical findings, and to CT scan of the brain.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Brain MRIDiagnostic test

    Brain MRI diagnoses tromboembolic lesions or bleeding to the cerebrum and is part of preoperative diagnostic tests before carotid surgery. After surgery brain MRI may present New lesions related to surgery, clinically significant or insignificant. Our goal is to evaluate the relevance of this modality in carotid surgery..

What is being measured

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

  1. Brain lesions on MRI

    Lesions on brain MRI representing thromboembolic or hemorrhagic episodes

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Time from Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA) or minor stroke to surgery

    International guidelines recommends surgery within 14 days after TIA

    Measured: Days before surgery, maximum 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Carotid Artery Stenoses, run by Oslo University Hospital.

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Jul 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Brain lesions on MRI (time frame: 30 days). 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 23 Jul 2019.
