The Mechanical of Characterisation of Human Saphenous and Popliteal Vein

Study Description
Brief Summary:
Non-interventional study aiming to ascertain the mechanical properties of human saphenous and popliteal vein tissue.

Condition or disease
Peripheral Vascular Diseases

Detailed Description:

The aim of this study is to mechanically characterise saphenous and popliteal vein segments that have been deemed waste following varicose vein procedures, lower limb amputation and lower limb bypass surgery.

By characterising the stress-stretch relationship of the vein vessel wall, treatment techniques can be better understood. Mechanical device design can be bteer informed and the the suitability of vein as a conduit for bypass and AVF procedures can be assessed.

Study Type : Observational
Estimated Enrollment : 50 participants
Observational Model: Case-Control
Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
Official Title: The Mechanical of Characterisation of Human Saphenous and Popliteal Vein
Actual Study Start Date : January 21, 2019
Estimated Primary Completion Date : January 21, 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : January 21, 2022
Arms and Interventions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. The identification of vein tissue mechanical distension and stretching properties. [ Time Frame: 2 years ]
    Vein tissue will undergo inflation-extension testing and unilaxial testing. The vein tissue will be cross-sectioned and rings of venous tissue will be mechanically characterised according to the properties exhibited.


Biospecimen Retention:   Samples Without DNA
Human saphenous and popliteal vein tissue segments deemed waste following varicose vein procedures, lower limb amputation and lower limb bypass surgery.

Eligibility Criteria
Layout table for eligibility information
Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older   (Adult, Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Sampling Method:   Probability Sample
Study Population
Study population will consist of individuals under the care of a Vascular Consultant. Patients will be asked to participate if they are going for a procedure in which there will be vein tissue waste that would usually be discarded in the operating theatre. The procedures of interest are Varicose Vein Procedures, Lower Limb Amputation and Lower Limb Bypass Surgery.
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or Female patients aged 18 years or older
  • Patients undergoing varicose vein procedures or;
  • Patients undergoing lower limb amputation or;
  • Patients undergoing lower limb bypass surgery

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients unable to give informed consent
  • Seriously ill/unconscious patients
