Trial summary

This study is aimed to assess the value of three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) in hemodialysis patients with occlusive disease in arteriovenous fistula (AVF).

About this study

Official title: To Assess the Value of 3D Time-of-Flight Magnetic Resonance Angiography in Hemodialysis Patients With Occlusive Disease in Arteriovenous Fistula

This study is aimed to assess the value of three-dimensional time-of-flight magnetic resonance angiography (3D-TOF-MRA) in hemodialysis patients with occlusive disease in arteriovenous fistula (AVF). All participants will receive 3D-TOF-MRA and ultrasound to detect the stenosis degree of AVF.

Read the detailed description

The Principle of 3D-TOF-MRA is based on the "flow effect" of MR. In the GE sequence of MRA imaging, the effect of RF pulses makes the protons in the stationary tissue in the active layer in a saturated state, and the longitudinal magnetization disappears. When the inflow blood appears, its protons are in an unsaturated state and have a high degree of longitudinal magnetization. In this way, a clear difference is formed between saturated tissue and unsaturated flowing blood to display blood vessels. Therefore as a non-invasive and safe method for diagnosing vascular diseases, 3D-TOF-MRA is used widely in cerebrovascular diseases. However, there are currently no studies using 3D-TOF-MRA to diagnose arteriovenous fistula (AVF) stenosis in hemodialysis patients. This project plans to use 3D-TOF-MRA to detect AVF stenosis in hemodialysis patients to provide a safe and effective diagnostic method for patients with end-stage renal failure.

What is being measured

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

  1. degree of stenosis

    visual grading system: 0 = completely smooth vessel wall;

    1. = <50% stenosis;
    2. = 50%-75% stenosis;
    3. = 75%-99% stenosis;
    4. = occlusion.

    Measured: immediately after examination finished

  2. stenosis location

    1. = arterial vessel of AVF
    2. = orifice of AVF
    3. = venous vessel of AVF

    Measured: immediately after examination finished

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing 3D-TOF-MRA in people with Magnetic Resonance Angiography and Hemodialysis, run by Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's 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 4 inclusion and 3 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 11 Jan 2022. 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?

degree of stenosis (time frame: immediately after examination finished). The study lists 2 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 11 Jan 2022.
