Overview

This cross-sectional study aims to ascertain the mechanical properties of human carotid/femoral atherosclerotic plaque and abdominal aortic aneurysm tissue and correlate tissue mechanics with novel blood-based biomarkers of cardiovascular calcification.

Description

The study is a non-randomised, controlled, cross-sectional study of diseased human carotid, femoral and abdominal aortic tissue.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with arterial plaque undergoing treatment where the plaque tissue will be surgically removed as per the usual peripheral endarterectomy procedure.
  • Able to provide informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients that are unable to give informed consent.
  • Seriously ill/unconscious patients.

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.
