Active clinical trials for "Aortic Aneurysm"

Comparison of elective infrarenal aneurysm surgery with open and endovascular technique, respectively, for subclinical ischemic myocardial injury detectable with troponin T and/or 3-channel Holter ECG with ST analysis

This is a prospective, non-randomized, single center, data collection study of patients treated with open surgical repair (OR) for complex aortic aneurysms (CAAs).

The goal of this observational cross-sectional study is to learn about vagal features in patients with syndromic and non-syndromic TAA. The main question it aims to answer is to highlight a functional condition that could help stratify patients with TAA on the risk of aortic complications. Participant will take part by standing in supine position for 10 minutes and during active standing for 10 minutes. In this period of time, it will be possible to acquire the signals continuously and non invasively through recorded non-invasive blood pressure and piezoelectric sensor breathing belt.

In clinical practice a lot of EVAR cases are performed IFU for adverse neck anatomy(6) with acceptable short- and mid-term outcomes, but the long-term durability is currently an issue (7). Neck length shorter than 15 mm and angulation are two of. neck charteristics. that contribute more to define an "hostile neck" (8). The issue linked to the anatomical not feasibility of standard EVAR in patients not eligible for OR can be solved with custom made devices (CMD), but they were limited by high production costs and long time for creations (10-12 weeks)1. Nowadays no one off-the-shelf device aimed to overcome neck hostility in AAA is available on the market. The present study aims at evaluating the anatomical applicability of an off-the-shelf scalloped stent-graft to treat infrarenal AAA with a short and/or angulated neck.

Multicenter, single-arm retrospective and prospective registry is being conducted to confirm the clinical performance and safety of GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis when used as a Bridging Stent with Branched and Fenestrated Endografts in the Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms Involving the Renal-Mesenteric Arteries.

The NEOS-APAC post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to demonstrate the safety and clinical performance of E-vita OPEN NEO in the treatment of aneurysm or dissection in the ascending aorta, aortic arch and descending thoracic aorta.

Multi-arm, multi-center, open label, prospective observational registry designed to obtain safety and performance data on the use of CE marked and custom Terumo Aortic endovascular grafts.

The Zenith® Fenestrated+ Endovascular Graft Clinical Study will assess the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Fenestrated+ Endovascular Graft (ZFEN+) in combination with the BeGraft Balloon-Expandable FEVAR Bridging Stent Graft System (BeGraft) for the treatment of patients with aortic aneurysms involving one or more of the major visceral arteries.

The goal of this multicenter, observational cohort study is to evaluates the clinical effectiveness of a single-renal scallop custom-made stent-graft (TREO, Terumo Aortic, Sunrise, FL) to treat "hostile" AAA with mismatched renal arteries as actual standard of care in this Vascular Unit The main question it aims to answer are: if a dedicated devices could improve the results in the endovascular treatment of patients suffering to infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurism with a mismatched takeoff of the renal arteries. Participants responding to inclusion criteria will be treated as best clinical practice with a custom made device with a single scallop for the renal artery. The minimum follow-up requested, as standard clinical practice, was: 3-months, 12-18 months- and 5-years CTA; clinical and DUS examination at 6- and 12- and 36-months after the intervention and yearly thereafter. No comparison group was present.

Automated carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography is considered a safe diagnostic alternative to standard iodinated contrast medium (ICM) for endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), especially in patients with preoperative renal function impairment. Recent literature experiences describe the use of automated CO2 angiography in EVAR. One of the main issues of CO2 angiography is the inability to detect the origin of the lowest renal artery (proximal neck visualization) that was estimated up to 38%. In these experiences, the CO2 automated angiography is usually performed by a 5F pigtail catheter placed at renal arteries level. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new automated CO2 injection technique by a 5F introducer (single hole catheter) positioned at the distal level of the proximal neck in detecting both renal arteries in the first diagnostic and completion angiographies.
