Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

This is a French Registry mandated by the French National Health Authority assessing long-term (5-years) safety of the GORE® TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis treating diseases of the thoracic aorta.

In this study, patients with large anterior circulation IAs with neck and fundus morphologies amenable to either traditional endovascular treatments using coils or reconstruction with the flow diversion will be randomly assigned to either treatment technique.

The ANCHOR registry is a multi-center, post-market, non-interventional, non-randomized, prospective study. Subjects must sign an ICF prior to obtaining any study specific information. Subjects are eligible to be consented up to 30 days post-procedure. Enrolled subjects will be followed as per local 'standard of care' for up to 5 years post procedure. Study recommended follow-up is per SVS and ESVS guidance.

The study will compare clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients receiving Hydrocoil aneurysm treatment versus patients receiving non-HydroCoil aneurysm treatment.

Inflammation of the blood vessel plays an important role in the development and growth of a dilated abdominal aorta. An elevated blood pressure leads to an increase in inflammation, therefore blood pressure lowering is an important part of the treatment of patients with a dilated abdominal aorta who also have an elevated blood pressure. In the investigators study the investigators compare the anti-inflammatory effects of 2 different blood pressure lowering strategies. The investigators hypothesize that both strategies will decrease inflammation, however the investigators believe the total decrease of inflammation depends on the type of blood pressure lowering medication used.

The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that time on the ventilator and ICU length of stay will be shorter in TAA patients given postoperative sedation with dexmedetomidine compared to those given standard sedation. Secondary endpoints are: requirement for sedatives vasoactive drugs incidence of postoperative delirium and cost analysis.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Penumbra SMART COIL® System, including the WAVE™ Extra Soft Coils (WAVE) as a fill and finish coil, in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms. Imaging will be analyzed by an independent core lab to assess aneurysm occlusion rates and perform a comparative analysis between imaging modalities.

This is a prospective, multi-center, non-randomized clinical evaluation utilizing the PulseRider® Aneurysm Neck Reconstruction Device.

The FIRST study is an observational, prospective, multi-center, international, single-arm, study. The aim of the study is to collect safety and efficacy information on the use of the silk vista and silk vista baby flow diverter in order to assess clinical safety and performance of the device for treating intracranial aneurysms. All patients with intracranial aneurysm ruptured or unruptured, whatever the localization of the aneurysm, and treated with silk vista or silk vista baby, will be consecutively enrolled in the study. The patient's inclusion and follow up in the study will occur as part of their usual standard of care.

Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) result from progressive dilatation of the thoracic aorta and confer a risk for aortic dissection or rupture, which is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. In the Netherlands there are an estimated 200.000 adults with TAA, and annually 600 deaths after aortic dissection or rupture. There are clear differences in the incidence of TAA between men and women, with a higher incidence in men. Little is known on possible differences in outcome between male and female patients with Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm (TAA). Aortic disease is thought to affect men more frequently than women, and aortic growth is different between men and women. Current data suggest that women are at an increased risk of both dying from aortic dissection and having aorta-related complications compared to men (1). The mechanisms for these male-female difference in TAA outcome remain, however, unclear. The timing of preventive surgery is now not different for men and women, but gender-based cut-off values for maximal aortic diameter based on differences in vessel wall composition might be needed.
