Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal"

The purpose of this study is to assess the benefits of endovascular repair with Endurant Stent Graft System by documenting overall mortality, complications, the rate of conversion to open surgical repair, and the development and rupture of the aneurysm on a long term, i.e. at 5 years, in a cohort of patients representative of the population treated under real-life conditions of use in France.

Study of the prevalence of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) (> 3 cm) in patients with echocardiography (transthoracic or) during a specific day, with cardiologists in France. This is a cross-sectional epidemiological investigation, assembling evidence from a routine ultrasound screening for AAA at the waning of echocardiograms performed during a specific day. The study will be offered a list of centers selected by the Scientific Committee in the complete list of locations being in France, the subsidiary of echocardiography Echocardiography of French Society of Cardiology. These centers will be 500 in number representative of the French centers, geographically and by type of centers.

This study explore AAA prevalence in OSAHS patients by ultrasound screening and try to analysis risk factors of AAA in OSAHS patients.

The aim of the present study is the evaluation of cardiovascular biomarkers in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) or abdominal aortic occlusive disease AOD) undergoing open (OR) or endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) with regards to short- and long-term outcome. By blood collection and measurement of the serum biomarkers Copeptin, N-terminal- pro Brain Natriuretic Peptide (NT-proBNP), cardiac Troponin I (cTnI), high sensitive Troponin T (hs-cTnT) and C-reactive Protein (CRP) we expect an improvement of patients stratification by assessment of cardiac stress tolerance. Data gathered may help to simplify the decision whether an open or endovascular approach for abdominal aortic repair (OR and EVAR) should be performed. Study Hypothesis: The evaluation of the predictive value of cardiovascular biomarkers (Copeptin, NT-proBNP, hsTnT, cTnI, CRP) improve patient stratification and selection of surgical treatment.

Autoimmune diseases are diseases in which inappropriate immune responses that have the capability of harming host cells play an important role. Evidence suggests that the presence of certain autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systematic lupus erythematosus increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, this evidence is inconsistent for autoimmune disorders and no systematic approach has been previously used to study the relationship between a range of common autoimmune disorders and specific forms of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, intracerebral and subarachnoid haemorrhage, or venous thrombosis. The investigators will use linked electronic health records to investigate whether commonly diagnosed autoimmune disorders are associated with increased risk of CVD development and whether effects differ in men and women and change with age.

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the acute safety of deploying and implanting the Altura Endograft in the treatment of AAA in subjects who are candidates for endovascular repair. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the acute and longer-term safety and performance of the Altura Endograft through 5 years.

The association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has mostly been examined using broad endpoints or cause-specific mortality. The purpose of our study is to compare the effect of alcohol consumption in the aetiology of a range of cardiovascular disease phenotypes.

Aneurysm diameter is an important risk for rupture and related death in affected patients. This study will evaluate whether aneurysms size may even influence post procedural outcomes both in open surgical repair and in end-vascular aneurysm repair. We will retrospectively review clinical data of operated patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. We will consider both open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair procedures in order to assess the influence of aneurysm size at the time of intervention.

This study aims to compare the results of two mini invasive surgical approaches in abdominal aortic surgery: mini lumbotomy with retroperitoneal approach versus mini laparotomy with transperitoneal approach. Respiratory and renal functions and recovery of intestinal transit will be assessed after 30 days. The secondary purpose of this study is to assess the life quality and morbi-mortality at 30 days, as well as at 6 and 12 months.

The sudy purpose is to investigate efficacy and safety of percutaneous endovascular aortic aneurysm repair using INCRAFT stent graft for Korean patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. This study is designed as an investigator-initiated, multi-center, single-arm, prospective registry study. A total of 100 patients who meet all inclusion criteria, but none of exclusion criteria will be enrolled after the implantation of INCRAFT stent graft. The primary efficacy outcome is technical success defined as successful deployment of the stent-graft with no type I/III endoleak, unintentional coverage of visceral aortic branches or internal iliac arteries at the end of the procedure, and with successful removal of the delivery system. The primary safety outcome is major vascular complications at 30 days including. The study subjects will be followed for 12 months.
