Chances in Portal System Flow After Two Bariatric Procedures

Israel0Started 2017-01-01

Plain-language summary

Obesity if a health endemic problem over the entire world. Bariatric surgery is the best chance for those patients with morbid obesity to loss weight and to maintain the loosed weight. Metabolic surgery is the new name for bariatric surgery like sleeve gastrectomy and gastric by pass due to the recognized changes in the homeostasis of the hormonal secretion responsive to the hunger status. After sleeve gastrectomy we observe many patients with thrombus of the portal vein system. This phenomena may be attributed to changes in the portal flow due to devascularization of the great curvature of the stomach. The aim of the study is to compare the portal flow by intra-operative Doppler ultrasound before and after surgery of the two procedures as sleeve gastrectomy and gastric bypass, were the vascularization is not changed by the surgery.

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
