Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm"

"Pilot randomized prospective clinical study of the effectiveness of the use of artificial intelligence in determining "safe" clamping zones in the surgical treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms."

This is an intersectional and interdisciplinary screening program in Viborg Municipality, including 67 years old citizens. This observational study will estimate the cost-effectiveness of a combined screening program for the following conditions: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease, carotid plaque, hypertension, arrhythmia, and type-2-diabetes. Furthermore, the incidence of the outlined conditions will be described and so will the result of the intervention initiated (secondary medical prophylaxis, smoking cessation, introduction to nutritionally deficient diet etc.)

This study is set up to assess the feasibility and safety of the clinical procedure using AneuFix in a prophylactic setting at the time of EVAR endograft implantation.

Multicenter US registry study to assess procedure success and long-term (10-year) performance of the HAART 200 and HAART 300 Aortic Annuloplasty Devices when used during aortic valve repair in a routine cardiovascular practice setting.

The aorta distributes cardiac stroke volume into the whole body through its finetuned conductance function, that is propagation and modulation of flow pattern. Physicomechanic properties of the aortic wall assure continuous and homogenous blood flow distribution to organs. The physicomechanic properties of the aortic wall are heterotopic: The collagen/elastin ratio doubles in the abdominal aorta as compared to the thoracic aorta. Malfunction of aortic conduction due to large artery stiffening (LAS) leads to premature wave reflection and excess pulsatility which translate into organ damage in low-resistance beds. The regional heterogeneity of aortic physicomechanic properties and their histomorphological substrate leading to altered regional hemodynamics are not well investigated. Within the PHaRAo population, there is a spectrum of higher and lower risk patients. The aim of this cohort study is to collect prospectively and systematically clinical research data from PHaRAo patients. This cohort study is an open-end observational study to identify master switches in aortic disease

The goal of this project is to establish a biobank of clinical information, DNA, plasma, and aortic tissue samples from patients with cardiovascular disease as well as healthy controls.

The main objective of this study is to utilize Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) to determine tissue stiffness of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). For patients with AAA, MRE is a more sensitive and superior method of determining the risk for rupture of AAA based on stiffness estimates when compared to the current, crude method of assessing risk based on measurement of the diameter of the aneurysm. The investigators will also validate the stiffness estimates against gold standard i.e. mechanical testing and histopathology only AAA patients undergoing AAA surgery.

The Montalcino Aortic Consortium (MAC) will provide the infrastructure to assemble large cohorts of patients with mutations in known heritable thoracic aortic disease (H-TAD) genes, define the phenotype associated with these genes, and determine genetic and environmental modifiers of H-TAD.

The main objective of the CARE-ANEURYSM project is to evaluate inflammation and clotting abnormalities in patients with aneurysmal coronary artery disease in relation to patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm or coronary artery disease (acting as controls).

This is a Prospective Registry study to collect imaging and clinical data both on patients with aortic aneurysm disease undergoing serial monitoring and on patients pre and post-endovascular repair, using ViTAA (The Sponsor) aortic mapping technology.
