Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal"

Arterial and venous thrombi play an important role in various vascular diseases such as myocardial infarction, stroke, transient ischemic attacks (TIA) and pulmonary embolism. These thromboembolic disorders are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. A non-invasive method for the quantitative and effective detection of thrombi in the whole body has not yet been established. In spite of the available techniques, 30% to 40% of ischemic strokes "cryptogenic" (undetermined cause, the source of thromboembolism is never identified). Possible causes of cryptogenic stroke atherosclerosis include in the aortic arch or intracranial arteries. A plaque in the arch or other large vessels could be an important source of cryptogenic strokes, however, are those difficult to detect by routine methods. The approach of thrombus targeted molecular imaging could identify potentially troublesome plaques early on before they become a dangerous rupture. The hypothesis is that the radiotracer 18F-arterial GP1 and venous thrombi using positron emission tomography (PET) can be made visible. The primary goal is the potential applicability of the substance as a PET tracer for diagnosing thrombi.

Safety and performance of an anti-microbial vascular graft in the treatment of aneurysmal and occlusive disease of the abdominal aorta.

Elective minilaparatomy abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair is associated with a significant number of complications involving respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and central nervous system, and mortality ranging up to 5%. In our study, we tested the hypothesis that intraoperative and postoperative intravenous restrictive fluid regime reduces postoperative morbidity and mortality and improves the outcome of the treatment of minilaparotomy AAA repair.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a major health problem and ruptured AAA is a common cause of death in Europe and North America. A key limitation of contemporary treatment strategies of AAA is the lack of therapy directed at reducing expansion. Although surgical repair is an effective treatment for large AAA, it is associated with significant mortality and morbidity as well as substantial cost. The rationale for this randomized controlled study is to investigate whether treatment with Ticagrelor inhibits growth of small abdominal aortic aneurysms.

This study is a data linkage project within which we aim to model the impact on the NHS AAA Screening programme of a targeted approach to screening by targeting men who smoke. This in-silico study will generate a hypothetical population based on primary care datasets with known outcomes from screening (we know which men have an aneurysm and who do not) to determine the feasibility and safety of this approach.

A prospective clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of the Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System when used in the treatment of subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

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.

A Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of the TriVascular Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System

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.
