Compassionate Use Treatment for a Single Patient With a Custom Made Branched/Fenestrated Endovascular...
Complex Abdominal Aortic AneurysmThe FENESTRATED AAA ENDOVASCULAR GRAFT WITH THE H&L-B ONE-SHOT™ INTRODUCTION SYSTEM is neither commercially available or available as part of a clinical trial. IRB approval of this protocol was requested so that Cook, Incorporated may apply to the FDA for approval for one-time use of this patient-specific device for compassionate use for patient AO. It is a custom made endovascular device consisting of4 fenestrations for the celiac, SMA (superior mesenteric) and left and right renal arteries.
Compassionate Use of the Incraft® AAA Stent Graft System
Abdominal Aortic AneurysmTo treat patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms requiring endovascular repair outside of the clinical protocol through compassionate use.
Talent Aortic Cuff Stent Graft System Compassionate Use Registry
Abdominal Aortic AneurysmsAn evaluation of the TALENT Aortic Cuff in patients with existing AneuRx stent grafts who have experienced sub-optimal stent graft outcomes and are not deemed suitable candidates for treatment with an AneuRx Aortic Cuff.
Development of Novel Imaging Markers Predicting the Progression of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Using...
Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)Study purpose: This study will investigate anatomical factors associated with increased risk of major adverse aorta-related event and accelerated growth of abdominal aneurysm based on 3-dimensional analysis of CT images. Study design: a multicenter single-arm prospective observational study. Subject: patients with small abdominal aortic aneurysm with maximal diameter of 30-50 mm (n=323) Methods: Patients diagnosed with small AAA based on CT will be enrolled after considering inclusion and exclusion criteria and prospectively followed clinically and with CT at 1 year. Primary endpoint: Major adverse aorta-related events (death, aortic rupture, or aneurysm growth >0.4 cm per year) at 1 year Secondary endpoints: 1) clinical events : death, aortic rupture, aneurysm growth >0.4 cm per year, surgical or endovascular repair 2) Changes in CT parameters of aneurysm: diameter, volume, wall shear stress
Social Deprivation and Initial Presentation of 12 Cardiovascular Diseases: a CALIBER Study

The Effect of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening on Mortality in Asian Population
Aortic AneurysmAbdominalAbdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) occurs when the infrarenal aorta expands to a maximal diameter of 3.0cm or greater. Although AAA may asymptomatic for many years, almost one third eventually rupture if left untreated. Several randomized trials showed that ultrasonographic screening for AAA could reduce the frequency of acute operations and AAA-related mortality. However, all of randomized trials were performed in Western countries. There was no randomized trials for AAA screening in Asian countries. This randomized, controlled trial is to analyze the benefits of screening old population for AAA in Korea.
Pro-inflammatory Cytokines in Blood From Orthopedic Surgery Compared to Abdominal Aneurysm Repair...
Aortic DiseasesOsteoarthritis1 moreThe purpose of this study is to investigate the contents in blood sampled from surgery site during hip replacement compared with blood sampled from abdominal aortic surgery. Is there any difference in pro-inflammatory cytokines (IL-1beta, IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α), complement activation (C3a)?
Serum Uric Acid Levels and Onset of Cardiovascular Diseases: a CALIBER Study
Stable AnginaUnstable Angina11 moreSerum uric acid level is a commonly measured biomarker. The association between serum uric acid level and the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases has been observed in some studies, while others showed controversial results. Estimation of this association may help to predict cardiovascular outcomes and may guide new treatment strategies. The hypothesis is that increased serum uric acid level is associated with a range of cardiovascular diseases.
Aorfix Intelliflex First in Human Study
Aortic AneurysmAbdominalThe First In Human (FIH) study is a long-term, single center, non-randomized study established by Lombard Medical, Inc. to collect "on-label" data in the clinical setting on patients undergoing endovascular repair with IntelliFlex™, the latest generation of the Aorfix™ AAA Flexible Stent Graft Delivery System, for treatment of abdominal aortic and aorto-iliac aneurysms in anatomy where the aorta in the aneurysm neck is bent through an angle between 0° and 90°.
Fluid REsponsiveness and Arterial ELASTANCE in Patients With Septic Shock or After Aortic Surgery...
ShockSeptic7 moreThe MostCare system, thanks to the Pressure Recording Analytical Method (PRAM; Vygon, Padua, Italy), provides new hemodynamic parameters of the cardiovascular system. The PRAM method is a noncalibrated pulse contour method which requires only an arterial line (radial or femoral). This method has been validated in various clinical conditions. Among the collected parameters, some are well known and used daily care in Intensive Care Unit (ICU), i.e. cardiac output (CO), arterial pressure, heart rate, stroke volume (SV). Others such as arterial elastance (Ea) or dicrotic pressure are more recent and merit further investigation to determine their interest in clinical practice. To date, it is rarely used to adapt therapies, mostly because of a lack of knowledge regarding the evolution of these parameters. The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between the evolution of Arterial Elastance and fluid responsiveness after a 250 mL fluid challenge of crystalloids in 5 minutes in patients with either septic shock or in the postoperative course of a major vascular surgery. Patients will be considered fluid responders if an increase >10% of the stroke volume is observed .
