Safety and Efficacy of Remote Ischemic Conditioning for Patients Taking Off-pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is the process of repeated ischemia and reperfusion in the peripheral vessels, which is proved in reducing IRI in vital organs. This IMPROVE trial plans to enroll 648 patients who are diagnosed with coronary artery disease and are going to take off-pump CABG in five centers …
Multicomponent Prehabilitation and Outcomes in Elderly Patients With Frailty
The study is designed to investigate the effect of a multicomponent prehabilitation pathway on early and long-term outcomes in elderly patients with frailty recovering from surgery for digestive cancer.
Pre- vs Postoperative Thromboprophylaxis for Liver Resection
Thromboprophylaxis for liver surgery can be commenced either preoperatively or postoperatively. Despite a clear trade-off between thrombosis and bleeding in liver surgery patients, there is no international consensus when thrombosis prophylaxis should be commenced in patients undergoing liver surgery. As far as we know, there are no prospective randomized trials …
Comparison of Nissen-Sleeve and Gastric Bypass for GERD in Obese Patients
This randomized clinical trial aims to compare two surgical techniques for the treatment of obesity in patients who also have symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The study will compare Nissen-Sleeve Gastrectomy (N-SG)-a sleeve gastrectomy combined with a reflux-preventing procedure-to the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), which is the current standard …
Assessment of Adverse Outcome in Asymptomatic Patients With Prior Coronary Revascularization Who Have a Systematic Stress Testing Strategy Or a Non-testing Strategy During Long-term Follow-up.
Due to the lack of randomized controlled trials, the best follow-up strategy of asymptomatic patients after coronary artery revascularization is controversial. A systematic screening of silent myocardial ischemia may help prevent a major acute cardiac event. However, systematic screening strategy is costly and there is currently no evidence that repeated …
Longitudinal Study of Local Ablative Therapy in Oligometastatic Disease
This prospective national multicenter observational and interventional study aims to assess the longitudinal disease trajectory of patients with oligometastatic disease (OMD) who receive local metastasis-directed therapy. Patients with any category of OMD from any non-hematological cancer are eligible for inclusion. Local ablative therapy (LAT) includes surgical metastasectomy, radiotherapy, thermal ablation, …
Neoadjuvant Treatment Modalities in Esophageal Cancer
Esophageal cancer is the most prevalent cancer globally with poor survival outcome. The prognosis with surgery alone is poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. Either neoadjuvant chemotherapy (nCT) or chemoradiotherapy (nCRT) has been shown as efficatious therapy to improve patients outcomes in esophageal or esophagogastric junction …
Lovenox 30 mg Twice Daily (BID) Versus 40 mg Once Daily (QD)
The risk of developing a blood clot occurs in up to 60% of all critical care patients. Many times enoxaparin (or Lovenox) is given to patients who are at a higher risk of developing clots in their legs or lungs. There are two standard doses of enoxaparin that are recommended …
RCT: Early Feeding After PEG Placement
Randomized controlled trial to establish evidence on which to base timing of enteral feeding after bedside PEG placement in ventilated Trauma and Surgical ICU patients.
Comparison of the Outcomes of Single vs Multiple Arterial Grafts in Women
The central hypothesis of ROMA:Women is that the use of multiple arterial grafting (MAG) will improve clinical outcomes and quality of life (QOL) compared to single arterial grfating (SAG). The specific aims of ROMA:Women are: Aim 1: Determine the impact of MAG vs SAG on major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular …
