Exclusion of Left Atrial Appendage Thrombus in Emergency Department Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing CT to Assess for Pulmonary Embolus: A Feasibility Study (ELATE-AF)
9. juni 2026 opdateret af: Northwell Health
This study aims to investigate whether a quick, additional CT scan of the heart, performed immediately after a standard CT scan for pulmonary embolism, can effectively detect blood clots in the left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with atrial fibrillation.
Detecting these clots is crucial before certain heart procedures to prevent stroke.
Currently, a different, more involved procedure (Transesophageal Echocardiography - TEE) is often used.
This study will assess if this additional CT scan is feasible, meaning if it can provide clear enough images to identify LAA clots without needing more contrast dye.
The study will involve 60 patients, half receiving an "ungated" CT scan and the other half a "gated" CT scan (timed with their heart rhythm).
The results of these scans will not be used for immediate patient care during the study, but rather to evaluate the CT scan technique itself.
There is no direct benefit to participants, but the information gained could lead to faster diagnosis and reduced unnecessary testing for future patients.

Intervention / Behandling |
|---|---|
|
Eksperimentel: Delayed Un-gated CT Scan Arm
This arm will include the first 30 patients, who will undergo a 60-second delayed, un-gated CT scan to assess the left atrial appendage.
|
Patients already undergoing CT angiography for suspected pulmonary embolism will receive an additional, delayed un-gated CT scan (60 seconds after initial contrast injection) to assess for LAA clot.
No additional intravenous contrast will be given.

Percentage of Indeterminate Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Thrombus Scans
Tidsramme: The overall assessment and statistical analysis of this primary outcome for feasibility determination will be conducted at the study completion, an average of one year.
|
The primary endpoint of this study is to test the hypothesis that less than or equal to 20% of the repeat CT scan (described above) will be indeterminate for the presence or absence of left atrial appendage thrombus.
Additionally, the proportion of indeterminate gated CT scans will be compared to the proportion of indeterminate ungated CT scans.
