The identification of the correct risk could lead to a better pre- and postoperative management, that could guarantee a better surgery outcome and a faster postoperative recovery.\n\nTo this day there is no perfect method to correctly estimate this risk. Various studies show that high BNP levels are linked to cardiac events at 30 and 180 days. Further investigations identify different groups, at low, intermediate and high risk, based on BNP levels.\n\nBNP is released by ventricular myocytes in response to a wall distress, due to an increased volume, pressure or myocardial ischemia.\n\nSo BNP plasma levels could be used as a prognostic and diagnostic marker, improving the cardiac risk stratification in patients undergoing surgery and a much more precise management.\n\nThis study is determined to do an evaluation of the correlations between pre- and postoperative BNP levels and the incidence of cardiac events in patients undergoing major vascular surgery.", 'detailedDescription': "Patient's informed consent signature for adhesion at the study will be initially requested. With their acceptance, parameters will be recorded anonymously in the Case Report Form, identified by their initials and a numeric code, until hospital discharge.\n\nThe parameters analyzed will be related to:\n\n* preoperative evaluation: anamnesis, health general conditions, METs, preoperative monitoring, in particularly BNP basal levels;\n* intraoperative evaluation: intraoperative monitoring;\n* postoperative evaluation: BNP and cTnI levels at 24 and 48 hours, and about pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurological and surgical postoperative complications, based on the medical record.\n\nThe data will be transferred on Excel worksheet, utilized for descriptive analysis related at every variable."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Adult undergoing major vascular surgery', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Ability to provide an informed consent\n* Age \\>18 years old\n* Elective abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Emergency surgery\n* Age ˂ 18 years old\n* Creatinine \\>2mg/dl\n* Diseases of ascending aorta, aortic arch or thoracic aorta\n* Chronic atrial fibrillation\n* Patient refusal to provide informed consent'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03926104', 'acronym': 'BNPinVasc', 'briefTitle': 'BNP and Vascular Surgery', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Parma'}, 'officialTitle': 'Evaluation of BNP Values in Major Vascular Surgery', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '39751 del 19/10/2018'}}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '43126', 'city': 'Parma', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'Italy', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Elena Giovanna Bignami, MD Professor', 'role': 'CONTACT'}], 'facility': 'Elena Giovanna Bignami', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 44.79935, 'lon': 10.32618}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Elena Giovanna Bignami, MD Professor', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'elenagiovanna.bignami@unipr.it'}]}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Parma', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'investigatorTitle': 'Clinical Professor', 'investigatorFullName': 'Elena Giovanna Bignami', 'investigatorAffiliation': 'University of Parma'}}}}
