Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm"

The primary hypothesis is that a tailored programme of genetic and imaging screening of first- and second-degree relatives of patients affected by non-syndromic forms of thoracic aortic diseases will identify individuals at risk of death from these conditions. These individuals would constitute specific population of patients, requiring dedicated imaging surveillance and/or earlier prophylactic aortic surgery.

This is a prospective, controlled observational trial of patients undergoing clinically indicated cardiothoracic computed tomography (CT), including pulmonary or aortic angiography and coronary CT angiography (CCTA).

After endovascular treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm, lifelong imaging follow-up is needed to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment. One parameter in this follow-up is endoleak, which is leakage of blood into the aneurysm sac. The aim of this study is to investigate the value of magnetic resonance imaging using Vasovist as a contrast agent for the detection of endoleaks.

To compare the aortic pulse profile before and after stent-graft implantation to prove that endovascular AAA repair using non-compliant stent-graft changes the aortic pulse profile.

This project seeks to determine if certain anatomic factors, specifically tortuous and non-conformable iliac arteries, may predict device complications, including seal zone failure, type III endoleak, and occlusion. Approximately 400 subjects from 5 academic centers across the United States, Europe, and Asia will be included in this study. Various markers of pre- and post-treatment iliac anatomy will be measured using CT imaging, and clinical events will be reported by academic centers. The relationship of imaging data to patient demographics will then be assessed alongside anatomic and demographic predictors of non-conformability.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repairs registered in the hospitals administrative database of the National Health Service from 2000 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed regarding demographics (age and gender) and type of repair (open surgery [OS] or endovascular repair [EVAR]). Rate and mortality were compared among three time periods: 2000-2004, 2005-2009 and 2010-2015.

The primary objectives of the LIFE Study are to demonstrate the clinical and cost benefits associated with using the Ovation® Abdominal Stent Graft Platform under the least invasive conditions defined in the Fast-Track EVAR protocol. The key elements of the Fast-Track EVAR protocol include: appropriate patient selection, bilateral percutaneous access, no general anesthesia, no ICU admission post procedure, and next day discharge.

This is a French Registry mandated by the French National Health Authority assessing long-term (5-years) safety of the GORE® Excluder® Endoprosthesis in the treatment of infra-renal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA).

The main aim of this study will evaluate differences in serum levels of tryptase in study population. Will be selected a number of 350 patients hospitalized for coronary heart disease.

The LUCY Study is a prospective, consecutively enrolling, non-randomized multi center post-market study to evaluate the low profile (14F) Ovation® Abdominal Stent Graft Platform when used in the endovascular treatment of female patients.
