Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

This registry was created to assess management parameters of patients treated for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage in Switzerland. All Swiss hospitals with a neurosurgery department, an intensive care unit and an interventional neuroradiology team that treat neurovascular emergencies participate in the registry. Clinical parameters are entered into a common database. This database will provide (1) a nationwide assessment of the current standard of care and (2) the outcomes for patients in Switzerland including neuropsychological assessments.

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 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 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 purpose of the Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ Post Approval Study (PAS) ("Pipeline™ Shield PAS") is to collect on-label use data in patients undergoing treatment for intracranial aneurysms (IA) using the Pipeline™ Flex Embolization Device with Shield Technology™ ("Pipeline™ Shield Device") in a real-world post approval setting within the United States.

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.

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).

Magnetic resonance elastography is a novel non-invasive MRI technique to obtain stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, etc. In this imaging technique a person is laid in an MR scanner and a paddle (plastic drum) is put on the area of interest to send sound vibration via a speaker placed outside the scan room which is connecting plastic drum via a plastic tube. These vibrations are scanned using MRI to estimate the stiffness of soft tissues such as liver, heart, kidneys, breast etc.

The main purpose of this study is to define the complex genetic and pathogenic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and other forms of aortopathy and/or aortic valve disease by identifying novel disease-causing genes and by identifying important genetic modifiers for aortic and aortic valve disease severity.

Intracranial aneurysm is the main cause of subarachnoid hemorrhage, and the incidence of subarachnoid hemorrhage in Chinese population is about 5%. The intervention of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is controversial because of its great harm after natural rupture and bleeding, and about a quarter of patients still have poor prognosis through existing invasive treatment methods. How to accurately determine the instability risk of unruptured intracranial aneurysms is the key to resolve this controversy. In previous studies, the stability of intracranial aneurysms involves many characteristics, and the sample size is small. Most of them are retrospective studies and studies on the status after change (rupture/growth). Therefore, the relevant risk factors are not clear at present, and there is still a lack of reliable prediction model. Based on the above facts, this study proposed based on the national hundred regional medical institutions set up the network registration platform of unruptured intracranial aneurysms, real time and openness of Internet, through the way of case resource sharing build unruptured intracranial aneurysm queue, collecting clinical characteristics, imaging features, hemodynamic detection of biological samples and the results of the analysis data, And observe them for two years. The artificial intelligence platform of Tonglian Medical Health was used to integrate and analyze and learn all the data, and then the risk factors related to the stability of intracranial aneurysms within two years were obtained, and the stability prediction model of unruptured intracranial aneurysms was constructed. This study will build the largest network registration platform and population follow-up cohort of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in China, and put forward a prediction model for the stability of unruptured intracranial aneurysms by integrating the multi-dimensional factors of intracranial aneurysms, so as to provide a powerful auxiliary judgment tool for the clinical decision-making of this disease.
