Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic"

The purpose of this study is to conduct an early clinical evaluation of the Relay Branch System, which will provide initial insight into the clinical safety and function of the device. This Early Feasibility Study (EFS) will assess the safety and effectiveness of the device at the index procedure and at 30-day follow-up. The study will evaluate the delivery and deployment of the device, patency of branches and branch vessels, and exclusion of the aortic pathology. The data will help determine if modifications need to be made to the device, the procedural steps, operator technique, or the indications for use.

The primary objective is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of surgeon modified endografts for the treatment of pararenal and thoracoabdominal aortic pathology in patients who are not candidate for traditional open repair due to comorbid issues and their anatomy is not amenable to commercially available endografts.

Prospective, nonrandomized, single-center, two-arm study to assess the feasibility and safety and to evaluate clinical outcomes of endovascular repair of complex aortic aneurysms (thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and aortic arch aneurysms) in patients at high risk for open surgery.

An investigator-initiated, prospective, consecutively enrolling, non-randomized single institution clinical evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of branched and fenestrated-branched endovascular stent grafts to preserve branch vessels when used in the treatment of patients with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study evaluates non-FDA-approved off the shelf and custom made branched and fenestrated-branched stent grafts manufactured by Cook Medical. The primary objectives of this study are to determine whether fenestrated-branched and branched endovascular grafts are a safe and effective method of treating patients with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms.

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of a multi-branched thoracoabdominal stent graft system for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.

A prospective, single-center, non-blind, non-randomized safety and feasibility study of the hybrid repair of thoracic aortic pathologies requiring repair of the aortic arch proximal to the origin of innominate artery.

The primary objective of this study is to assess the use of a physician-modified Cook Alpha Thoracic Endovascular Graft in the repair of complex aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and aneurysms secondary to aortic dissections in high-risk patients having appropriate anatomy. The primary intent of the study is to assess the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the device. Additionally, the study will assess renal function, radiation exposure, and quality of life.

The physician modified endograft is intended for treating complex, pararenal, juxtarenal and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms requiring coverage of renal arteries, the superior mesenteric artery or the celiac trunk in high-risk patients who do not have an option for endovascular repair with an FDA approved endograft and have an appropriate anatomy. There will be one investigational site with a total of 40 subjects to be enrolled. Time to complete enrollment will be 24 months and the subject follow-up time will be five years from last subject enrollment. The primary safety endpoint is freedom from major adverse events (MAE) at 30 days or during hospitalization if this exceeds 30 days. The primary effectiveness endpoint is the proportion of study subjects with treatment success at one year. The subjects will be followed at one month, six months, one year, and yearly thereafter for a total period of five years. Subjects will be followed up clinically for life. Clinical exam follow up may be phone or video visit with CT scan evaluation and duplex ultrasound as needed. The proportion of treatment group subjects that achieve and maintain treatment success annually to five years will be investigated.

This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of single dose preoperative ferric carboxymaltose in the prevention of postoperative infections and blood transfusions in patients scheduled for cardiac surgery. Half of the patients will receive ferric carboxymaltose and half of the patients physiological saline solution as placebo.

The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes and radiation of the use of off-the-shelf and custom-made devices (CMDs) for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal, suprarenal, thoracoabdominal and arch aortic aneurysms in patients having appropriate anatomy. The study consists of three cohorts. The first 2 cohorts are the continuation of the current IDE study. The first cohort is aimed to assess the use of custom-made devices (CMDs) for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal, suprarenal and type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in standard and high-risk patients having appropriate anatomy (Fenestrated-CMD cohort). The second cohort (Type I-III thoracoabdominal cohort) includes standard and high-risk patients with type I- III thoracoabdominal aneurysms that require the use of branched/fenestrated CMDs, or, in selected cases, the Zenith Thoracoabdominal Branch (Zenith® t-Branch™) device. Finally, the third cohort (the Arch cohort) will include 10 high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysms treated by patient-specific stent-grafts with one to three inner branches or a scallop.
