Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of InCraft® in subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms requiring endovascular repair.

The primary objectives of this study are to determine whether the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System is a safe and effective method of treating abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA's) in those patients considered to be suitable candidates for open surgical repair.

The Zenith® Low Profile AAA Endovascular Graft Clinical Study is a clinical trial approved by US FDA to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Low Profile AAA Endovascular Graft to treat abdominal aortic, aorto-iliac, and iliac aneurysms.

Purpose of this study: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lombard Medical endovascular Aorfix™ AAA bifurcated stent graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic, aorto-iliac and common iliac aneurysms with anatomies including angled aorta, angled aneurysmal body, or both, between 0° and 90°. Study hypothesis: The primary efficacy hypothesis is the proportion of grafts remaining free from endoleak, migration, and fracture at 12 months. Efficacy: The 12 month, all cause mortality rate in the Aorfix™ group will be non-inferior to the 12 month, all cause mortality rate in the Open Control group. Safety: The rates of early serious adverse events between 0 and 30 days post-operative in the Aorfix™ groups will be non-inferior to the early serious adverse event rates between 0 and 30 days post-operative in the Open Control group.

A prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Aptus Endovascular AAA Repair System compared to an open surgical repair historical control group in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

To assess the safety and performance of Aorfix™ Stent Grafts in the treatment of Abdominal Aortic and Aorto-Iliac Aneurysm where a significant degree of vessel angulation exists at the neck of the aneurysm or in the common iliac arteries.

The main risk of aortic aneurysms is rupture that leads to a high risk of death. A preventive surgical treatment is thus needed. In order to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with conventional surgery, an endovascular approach (insertion of an endovascular stent graft)is now widely favored. The main problem of this procedure is the occurrence of endoleaks (persistence of a communication between the aneurysm and the aorta). A new approach is proposed to prevent these endoleaks. The principle is to draw blood from the patient, separate the blood from the platelets, and reinject both platelet rich plasma (PRP) and autologous thrombin, in order to form a platelet gel (PRP + autologous thrombin). Before studying the efficacy of this technique, its safety of use and feasibility must be evaluated.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Cook Zenith Endovascular Graft for the treatment of abdominal aortic (AAA), aortoiliac, and iliac aneurysms.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life threatening disease. There is a consensus to propose surgical repair in patients with a reasonable operative risk when the AAA exceeds 5 cm in diameter. The aim of the study is to compare the mortality and the occurrence of severe general, vascular and local complications in two groups of patients treated by either by open surgery or by EVAR (EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair). The main outcome criteria and the secondary endpoint are respectively the survival without severe complications and minor morbidity.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a localized dilatation of a segment of the aorta artery in its abdominal portion. It affects 1.7% of men aged 65 years and older. In the high-risk population (male smokers aged 65-75 years), its prevalence is estimated to be between 2.8 and 9%. Mortality of ruptured AAAs is high (80% of deaths before hospitalization or perioperatively), whereas mortality of scheduled procedures for unruptured AAAs is less than 5%. AAA screening has been shown to significantly reduce the specific mortality rate in the medium and long term. The French National Authority for Health (HAS) recommends targeted screening for AAA by ultrasound at the radiologist. The target population is male smokers or former smokers aged 65 to 75 years, as well as all persons aged 50 to 75 years with a family history of AAA. Despite recommendations, the rate of access to targeted screening appears low. Ultrasound screening for AAA is a rapid, noninvasive, and reproducible test. It relies primarily on the measurement of the maximum diameter of the abdominal aorta in cross-section. It has been demonstrated that the learning of the ultrasound screening procedure for AAA is very fast and that the performance of non-radiologists trained in this procedure alone is similar to that of radiologists. In addition, new ultra-portable ultrasound devices, inexpensive and with validated performances have appeared on the market in the last few years, making it possible to equip general practitioners (GPs). We propose a simplified care pathway for AAA screening, by equipping GPs with an ultra-portable ultrasound scanner and by training them to perform the screening procedure, which will be performed in the office or at the patient's home, during a usual consultation of general medicine. Our hypothesis is that this new organization will allow better access to screening for the target population, at a lower cost, compared to the current screening method recommended by the HAS (referral of the patient to the radiologist).
