Phase N/A

Overview

We prospectively collected information on consecutive patients who had been evaluated using 4D PC-MRI for aortic pathology in a tertiary hospital between April 2018 and Feb 2020. Patients were eligible for inclusion in the study if they had a clinical indication for CTA of aortic dissections.

Description

The exclusion criteria were non-MRI-compatible ferromagnetic devices and pregnancy. In addition, patients with poor compliance and with unstable status that prevented them from lying down for the MRI protocol were excluded. Initially, 26 patients evaluated. One patient was excluded due to fever at the scheduled time, and another was unable to lie down due to complicated spine disease. All patients underwent CTA scan on a 64-slice multidetector scanner (Somatom Sensation 64; Siemens Healthcare, Erlangen, Germany) with the intravenous administration of contrast media, followed by 4D PC-MRI to assess aortic pathology

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
