Trial summary

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a sudden decrease in limb perfusion due to either an embolic or a thrombotic vascular occlusion, defined as the presence of symptoms within two weeks of onset. The profound ischemia represents an emergency in which delayed treatment results in limb loss and, potentially, death. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Combined Treatment ( Image Guided Thrombectomy and Endovascular Therapy With Open Femoral Access ) for Acute Limb Ischemia

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is a sudden decrease in limb perfusion due to either an embolic or a thrombotic vascular occlusion, defined as the presence of symptoms within two weeks of onset. The profound ischemia represents an emergency in which delayed treatment results in limb loss and, potentially, death. Therefore, timely diagnosis and proper treatments for ALI are important.

Both surgical thrombectomy and endovascular treatment have benefits and drawbacks. Surgical thrombectomy using Fogarty embolectomy catheter has been the standard therapy because it is rapid and effective in cases of embolic ALI. However, blind surgical thrombectomy can result in poor revascularization or unexpected vascular injury in the presence of underlying arterial atherosclerosis or in the presence of subacute and chronic thrombi. In addition, thrombosis of runoff vessels is difficult to remove.

Endovascular management using catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) has emerged as an alternative to surgery. It is less invasive, and does not directly damage the vascular endothelium with the capacity to clear thrombus in the small vessels. However, long treatment duration may worsen the clinical situation. Besides, a thrombus of more than two weeks does not respond well to the thrombolysis, and it is difficult to determine the exact stage of thrombus according to the clinical history. These problems may be minimized by combined treatment, which includes surgical thrombectomy and endovascular treatment.

The aim of our research is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of combined treatment (surgical thrombectomy and endovascular treatment) for ALI with various clinical considerations

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing thrombectomy and PTA in people with Limb Ischemia, run by Assiut University.

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 5 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: status not confirmed, 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.

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?

Contact kerolos Raafat khalil Gad Basta, resident (00201223548723, kerolosbasta93@gmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

limb salvage (time frame: immediately post operative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04622878, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.
