Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

The Wovex bifurcated dacron vascular prostheses have been available on the French market since 2008. They are mainly used to treat aneurysmal or occlusive aortic diseases. To date, they have not been the subject of a specific clinical efficacy/safety study, unlike other Dacron prostheses used in the same field. We purpose a monocentric, retrospective, consecutive study based on medical data, including all the patients operated for aneurysms or occlusive disease of the abdominal aorta at Dijon Bourgogne University Hospital between 2013 and 2017 and who received a WOVEX bifurcated prosthesis (Wovex® Polyester Vascular Protheses). The objective is to explore the safety (short-term postoperative morbidity and mortality at 5 years) and efficacy (primary permeability, secondary permeability and dilatation of the prosthesis at 5 years) of the WOVEX prosthesis.

Biomarkers can play a vital role in prognosing the perioperative complications in thoracic aorta surgery. The goal of a study is to determine the correlation between intraoperative level of certain biomarkers and total amount of peroperative complications.

The 8-12 fold higher risk for sisters and brothers of patients with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) to develop AAA compared to persons in the population is well known in the scientific community. Recently the value of the screening program for siblings has been analyzed and is shown to be highly cost-efficient, similar to the population based screening of 65-year old men for AAA. Most importantly detection of siblings also adresses and includes women at risk. The adult offsprings to AAA patient would hypothetically bear the same risk of AAA as siblings. This has never been evaluated scientifically due to the practical difficulties in tracking the offspring and inviting them to screening at an age when they are at risk of AAA-disease. In Sweden, the unique multigeneration registry exists which could support such detection, with the possibility to track adult offspring to patients, and investigate the true contemporary prevalence in them. The DAAAD project aims at investigating the prevalence in adult offspring parallel to developing a model for such a selective screening program

Ruptured thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA) represents an emergency medical challenge that needs to be treated promptly. Over the past years different endovascular techniques have emerged such as fenestrated or branched endovascular aortic repair (FB-EVAR). However, FB-EVAR is a technique that uses a custom-made device which needs to be manufactured and this process take months, therefore, it could not be used in urgent settings. Off-the-shelf graft stents are pre-made graft stents, which can be used in urgent cases. A retrospective, multicenter cohort study was planned to include patients who underwent endovascular procedures between January 2015 and January 2022 (85 months) to evaluate the technical and survival outcomes of the use of off-the-shelf stent graft, physician-modified endograft and parallel graft technique in endovascular aortic repair of free and contained ruptured TAAA. Data will be collected anonymously and retrospectively, including patient demographics, risk factors, diagnosis and anatomical details, procedure details and post-operative outcomes.

This clinical study will capture clinical data specific to the performance and safety of the LeMaitre® CARDIAL Dialine II. It is a retrospective, monocenter, post-market safety and performance study. Following the new MDR regulation, this study will allow the clinical data of the prosthesis to be completed in order to renew its CE marking.

We will demonstrate the validity of measurements with a low-dose, EKG-gated CT without contrast in the ascending aorta evaluation, compared with the current Angio-CT measurements.

The purpose of the study is to determine if the dose of contrast (Omnipaque) administered for Computed Tomography Arteriograms (CTA) can be reduced without degradation of image quality. The hypothesis is that there is no difference in image quality using ultra-low dose contrast in CTA exams compared to routine, standard of care dose exams.

The present study will investigate the effect of artificially stiffening the aorta by means of an aortic stent on central aortic haemodynamics (CAH). This study will determine whether aortic stenting inadvertently adversely impacts on CAH, thereby providing the rational for subsequent therapeutic intervention to reduce the associated cardiovascular risk.

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

The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence and risk factors, at the time of the diagnosis of PAD, for asymptomatic carotid stenosis and abdominal aortic aneurysm.
