Predicting heart injury after laparoscopic tumor removal

Risk Identification and Prediction of Myocardial Injury After Laparoscopic Pheochromocytoma/Paraganglioma Resection:A Ambispective Cohort Study.

Observational Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT05752773

This study looks at patients having laparoscopic surgery for certain tumors to see what factors might lead to heart injury afterwards and to create a way to predict these risks.

What this trial studies

This observational study focuses on patients undergoing elective laparoscopic resection of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. It aims to identify risk factors for myocardial injury following the procedure and to develop a predictive model for such injuries. The study will enroll 700 patients, combining retrospective and prospective data, and will analyze vital signs and other factors to enhance the prediction accuracy. Participants will be monitored for 30 days post-surgery without any additional interventions.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients scheduled for laparoscopic resection of pheochromocytoma or paraganglioma.

Not a fit: Patients with a history of congenital heart disease, prior cardiac surgery, or elevated troponin levels prior to surgery may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved prediction and prevention of myocardial injury in patients undergoing laparoscopic tumor resections.

How similar studies have performed: While similar predictive models have been explored, this specific approach to myocardial injury prediction in laparoscopic tumor resections is relatively novel.
