Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

The STAT trial aims at comparing coiling versus coiling plus stenting in patients with aneurysms prone to recurrence, that is large aneurysms or recurring aneurysms after previous coiling or wide-necked aneurysms. The primary hypothesis is that the use of stenting in addition to coiling decreases the recurrence rate from 33% to 20% at 12 months as compared to coiling alone.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Endologix Fenestrated Stent Graft System for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal or pararenal aortic aneurysms.

The purpose of this trial is to determine if the Ventana Fenestrated Stent Graft System is safe and effective for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal or pararenal aortic aneurysms.

This study is a multi-center prospective, open label, non-randomized investigation of INCRAFT™ in subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study will enroll up to 60 subjects in up to 7 sites in Germany and Italy.

The objective of this study is to demonstrate that scalp nerve blocks ("scalp freezing"), performed at the end of supratentorial brain surgery, will reduce post-operative pain, opioids side effects, and the time required for post-anaesthesia care unit (PACU)/Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and hospital discharge.

The purpose for this study is to determine if surgery (repair of descending thoracic aneurysm) causes a temporary decrease in the Blood Brain Barrier's ability to remove drugs from the brain back into the blood. The Blood Brain Barrier surrounds the brain and the spinal cord. This Blood Brain Barrier acts as a filter and allows some things to cross into the brain and allows other matter to be removed. Studies have shown the Blood Brain Barrier is affected by inflammation. Functions of the Blood Brain Barrier in animals have been studied. Human studies with multiple causes of inflammation (e.g. Alzheimer's, Epilepsy, trauma and severe infections in critically Hypothesis: Surgically-induced inflammation will temporarily reduce blood-brain barrier drug efflux transporter function in proportion to the degree of inflammation. The investigators anticipate that inflammation-mediated reductions in drug transporter function will be reflected by an increased cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) concentration of morphine (a PGP substrate) and M3G and M6G (MRP1 substrates). The corresponding in vitro studies will allow us to elucidate the mechanism(s) by which inflammation alters blood brain barrier efflux transport of morphine, M3G and M6G.

The purpose of this study is to determine if it is safe and effective to use the TALENT AAA Stent Graft System as a treatment for AAAs in patients who are also candidates for conventional surgical aneurysm repair.
