Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the use of the TAAA Debranching Stent Graft System to repair thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in patients having appropriate anatomy, as measured by device safety, effectiveness, costs of delivery of aortic surgery care, and patient quality of life domains. Additionally, the study will assess technical success and treatment success at each follow-up interval.

An open label, prospective, multicentre, single-arm, post marketing study evaluating the safety, technical feasibility, and efficacy of the eCLIPs™ Family of Products for the treatment of bifurcation intracranial aneurysms.

In this study, patients will be observed who receive an E-liac Stent Graft for treatment of isolated iliac aneurysms or an E-liac Stent Graft in combination with one of the following AAA stent grafts: E-tegra Stent Graft, Endurant AAA Stent Graft, Zenith AAA Endovascular Graft, Gore Excluder AAA Endoprosthesis for treatment of aorto-iliac aneurysms. Objectives of this post-market registry are: Primary: To prevent the risk of rupture and death by the treatment of common iliac aneurysm with an iliac branched stent graft (E-liac, JOTEC) Secondary: Evaluation of safety and feasibility of the E-liac Stent Graft System used in endovascular treatment of uni- or bilateral aorto-iliac or iliac aneurysm.

Prospective, single arm, multi centre study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Contour Neurovascular SystemTM in the treatment of intracranial aneurysm (IA)

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is an enlargement or ballooning of the main artery supplying high pressure blood from the heart to the body. AAAs may continue to stretch until they burst (rupture) causing 7000 deaths per year in the United Kingdom (UK); 2.1% of all deaths in men over 65. Planned repair before rupture is critical and the National AAA Screening Programme (NAAASP) is being introduced to identify AAAs in men before rupture. Screening will identify over 9000 men per year with a previously undiagnosed AAA. More than 90% of screen detected AAAs are small, do no require repair, enter ultrasound follow-up (surveillance) and may benefit from exercise to improve fitness before repair. Over 4000 elective AAA repairs per year are performed in the UK and it has been suggested that exercise training and weight loss may reduce mortality and complications of AAA repair. This pilot study will examine the feasibility of supervised exercise training for patients with AAAs and determine the optimal duration of training to achieve worthwhile improvements in fitness.

After a thorough review of the existing literature as well as a review of our own practice, the investigators have concluded that the decision to treat patients undergoing aneurysm repair with levetiracetam has reached true clinical equipoise. In other words, the investigators cannot favor a decision to either administer or not administer this drug in these patients based on the existing information. The utility of anti-epileptic prophlaxis in the perioperative period for patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm repair remains a common practice that is not supported by the current literature that includes retrospective analyses as well as prospective trials for similar but not identical types of patients. The investigators propose to settle this dilemma by performing a prospective randomized trial in patients undergoing aneurysm repair in order to definitively determine if the common practice of perioperative antiepileptic drug administration has any utility. The study will be extended to June 2024 to allow for a 5 year follow up of the last enrolled patient in June, 2019.

Prospective, single center first-in-man study of use of device for intracranial aneurysm occlusion

The study aim is to determine if periodic online cognitive exercises (Lumosity) improve memory function in ruptured cerebral aneurysm patients with disabling baseline memory deficits within the first 24 months after rupture. Half of the subjects will be randomized to use Lumosity-designed online cognitive exercises and half will serve as an active control group performing online crossword puzzles.

This is an EU sponsored trial and independent of the US trial registered under Clinicaltrials.gov ID NCT02009644. The purpose of this registry is to gather clinical data on the safety and performance of the TREO Stent-Graft in patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms. The registry is part of TREO's EU post-market surveillance plan providing long-term systematic clinical follow-up.

AneurysmFlow R1.0 is an approved (i.e. CE labeled, 510k, Health Canada), software tool intended to provide relevant information on the blood flow in a cerebral aneurysm and its parent artery based on angiography. It calculates the Mean Aneurysm Flow Amplitude (MAFA) ratio to measure the volumetric flow rate quotient before and after Flow Diverter Stent (FDS) implantation in the region of interest. The current study is a prospective, single arm, observational, multicenter cohort study to assess the prognostic value of the MAFA ratio for predicting full aneurysm occlusion 12 months after flow diverter placement.
