About this study

Official title: Evaluation of Cardiac Strain Using Speckle Tracking Echocardiography During Orthotopic Liver Transplantation

Researchers are trying to improve the understanding of systolic function of the heart at the time of liver reperfusion in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation.

Medical subject headings
Reperfusion Injury

What is being measured

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

  1. Degree of change in cardiac strain

    Evaluate the degree of change to cardiac strain using speckle tracking echocardiography

    Measured: Up to 1 hour after graft reperfusion

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pattern of right and left ventricular strain

    Describe the pattern of right and left ventricular strain throughout the course of orthotopic liver transplantion.

    Measured: Up to 5 hours from the time of surgery start

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Liver Transplant Disorder and Reperfusion Injury, run by Mayo Clinic at 1 site in United States.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Apr 2024. 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 United States. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Unable to find software to open saved images for analysis). 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?

Degree of change in cardiac strain (time frame: Up to 1 hour after graft reperfusion). 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 10 Apr 2024.
