Clinical Trial Summary

This retrospective monocentric comparative study aims to assess the efficacy of preoperative ischemic conditioning, in preventing anastomotic leakage in esophageal cancer surgery. Two groups were included : a surgery-alone group (control group) and a PreopAE group (study group) treated with an embolization procedure before esophagectomy. Collected data included patient characteristics, embolization procedure details, surgical outcomes, and postoperative complications.

The primary outcome was the efficacy of preoperative ischemic conditioning in preventing anastomotic leakage, assessed through CT scans. Secondary outcomes included analyzing safety of ischemic gastric conditioning, hypertrophy of the gastroepiploic artery in embolized patients and comparing hospital stay length and postoperative mortality.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Measurement of the effectiveness of preoperative ischaemic conditioning in reducing anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing oesophagectomy.	Radiological confirmation by thoracoabdominal CT scan with oral contrast showing dehiscence of the oesophagastric anastomosis will be sought.	Day : 90
Secondary	Measurement of the effectiveness of preoperative ischaemic conditioning in reducing anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing oesophagectomy.	Dehiscence confirmed by the surgeon during a repeat operation will be sought.	Day : 90
Secondary	Measurement of the effectiveness of preoperative ischaemic conditioning in reducing anastomotic leakage in patients undergoing oesophagectomy.	Endoscopic confirmation of an anastomotic leak will be sought.	Day : 90
Secondary	Safety of ischemic gastric conditioning	Safety of ischaemic gastric filling will be analysed on the basis of imaging and data recordings.	Day : 90
Secondary	Hypertrophy of the gastroepiploic artery	Hypertrophy of the gastroepiploic artery in embolized patients will be analysed on the basis of imaging and data recordings.	Day : 90
Secondary	Comparing hospital stay length	Hospital stay length will be analysed on the basis of data recordings.	Day : 90
Secondary	Comparing postoperative mortality	Postoperative mortality will be analysed on the basis of data recordings.	Day : 90
