Trial summary

Background: For thirty years, a major shift in the management of liver trauma has been seen. Contained hepatic vascular injuries (CHVI), including pseudo aneurysms and arteriovenous fistula, are often feared due to their risk of secondary bleeding. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 15 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Liver trauma was identified on post-injury imaging evaluation or operative exploration. Admission following the trauma could either be directly from the trauma location or be a transfer from another regional hospital. Upon admission, if the patient was stable or stabilized following intensive care management, a contrast full-body CT scan was performed. Non-operative management was the primary treatment when possible. If the patient was unstable, primary surgical management was required. Surgical management could include sole exploration, hemostatic techniques, hepatic packing, drainage, or hepatectomy. If the investigators performed a damage control laparotomy with perihepatic packing, a second surgery was performed for definitive treatment after 24-48 h. In such cases, a contrast full-body CT scan was performed after the surgery. If a CT scan was not performed in the first 24 hours, the patient was not included in this study.

About this study

Official title: Contained Hepatic Vascular Injuries Following Liver Trauma: a Retrospective Monocentric Study and Review of the Literature

Background: For thirty years, a major shift in the management of liver trauma has been seen. Contained hepatic vascular injuries (CHVI), including pseudo aneurysms and arteriovenous fistula, are often feared due to their risk of secondary bleeding. Nonetheless, knowledge of CHVI is scarce and no guidelines on their management have been set. The investigators aimed to validate the risk factors of CHVI, identify associated morbidities, and establish a management protocol.

Study Design: A retrospective study on 318 liver trauma from a level 1 trauma center over the last 15 years, comparing the presence or not of CHVI. Univarious and multivarious analyses were performed. A comparison of the management of CHVI was also performed.

Medical subject headings
Aneurysm, False

What is being measured

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

  1. Identification of a % of CHVI on the initial or the follow-up Chest-Thorax scans.

    A junior and a senior radiologist reviewed all initial and follow-up CT scans, blinded from the diagnostic.

    Contained hepatic vascular injuries (CHVI) was defined as Hepatic Pseudoaneurysm (HPA) and/or arterio-venous fistula (AVF), under the American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) organ injury scale (2018 revision) for liver trauma definition: a contained focal collection of vascular contrast which decreases in attenuation on delayed phase images on contrast-enhanced CT

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Investigate the management of CHVI following liver trauma.

    size in millimeters of pseudoaneurym conducting to angio-embolization

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Hepatic Injury and Liver Injury, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 1 site in France.

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 3 inclusion and 0 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 8 Feb 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 France. 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?

Identification of a % of CHVI on the initial or the follow-up Chest-Thorax scans. (time frame: 6 months). 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 8 Feb 2024.
