Exercise Tolerance After Venous Recanalization for Post-thrombotic Syndrome (ETERecaVSPT)

May 26, 2025 updated by: University Hospital, Montpellier

Exercise Tolerance After Venous Recanalization for Post-thrombotic Syndrome: ETERecaVSPT

Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is the most frequently observed chronic complication of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), with an estimated cumulative incidence of 20-50%. Endovascular venous recanalization with angioplasty and stenting of obstructive lesions is the recommended treatment option to reduce or correct the symptoms of DVT. However, its impact on the physical capacity and breathlessness of patients has not been fully demonstrated. The heterogeneous evidences of clinical improvement is probably related to the presence or absence of collateral veins developed in these patients with proximal venous obstruction (iliac or iliofemoral with or without inferior vena cava involvement), which ensure the cardiac venous return. The aim of this study is to compare changes in maximal oxygen uptake after endovascular venous recanalization in DVT patients and to evaluate the hemodynamic, respiratory and muscular improvement induced by the restoration of venous flow in the occluded segments.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Enrollment (Actual)

Enrollment

The number of participants in a clinical study. The "anticipated" enrollment is the target number of participants that the researchers need for the study.
22

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Patient eligible for endovascular treatment for post-thrombotic syndrome in a chronic context (6 months after the occurrence of thrombosis, without time limit), after validation of the indication during a monthly medical-radiological PCR (St Eloi vascular medicine team and vascular radiologist performing the endovascular treatment)
  • Age >= 18 years

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindication to the performance of a maximal effort test on a cyclo-ergometer
  • Refusal of consent after information
  • Adult protected by law (guardianship, curatorship)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
VO2 max
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Change in VO₂ max is the maximum (max) rate (V) of oxygen (O₂) the body is able to use during exercise from baseline to 8 weeks. It is measured in liters of O2 per minute
From baseline and 8 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum aerobic power (in Watts)
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximum aerobic power is measured in watts before and after venous recanalization
From baseline and 8 weeks
Isowork power
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
The isowork power is the power output assessed at the V'O2max before recanalization
From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal exercise cardiac output (in litres per minute)
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal exercise cardiac output is the cardiac output assessed by thoracic impedance et peak exercise before and after venous recanalization
From baseline and 8 weeks
Exercise change in Inspiratory capacity (in litres)
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Exercise change in Inspiratory capacity is the change between rest and peak exercise of the inspiratory capacity (the volume between end-expiratory volume and total lung capacity) before and after venous recanalization
From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal exercise capillary volume (in millilitres)
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal exercise capillary volume is the capillary volume at peak exercise assessed by NO/CO transfer before and after venous recanalization
From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal exercise O2 arterial pressure (PaO2, in mmHg)
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal exercise O2 arterial pressure is the oxygen partial pressure in the arterial blood, assessed at peak exercise, before and after venous recanalization
From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal isometric torque during leg extension (in Newton.meters)
Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Maximal isometric strength during leg extension is the maximal torque of the leg extension at 90° knee flexion assessed by a torque sensor before and after venous recanalization

Time Frame: From baseline and 8 weeks
Lower limb extracellular/total water is the water volume int the body compartments in each lower limb, assessed by a segmental bioelectrical impedancemeter before and after venous recanalization
