Coronary CT Angiography in Aneurysms Repaired With Open or Endovascular Approach
Completed
- Conditions
- Complex Aortic Surgery
- Registration Number
- NCT01211548
- Lead Sponsor
- The Cleveland Clinic
- Brief Summary
This proposal is for the pilot study that will inform the conduct of a larger prospective randomized controlled trial to guide perioperative work up and the cost/utility of CTCA (high definition CT coronary angiography.)
- Detailed Description
This proposal is for a pilot study that will inform the conduct of a prospective, blinded randomized controlled trial designed to determine the cost effectiveness of an algorithm for pre operative cardiac risk stratification that uses coronary CT angiography. In addition perioperative and long-term cardiac event rate will be recorded to determine if there is any difference in these rates between the 2 groups.
