Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

The goal of this study was to verify the safety and effectiveness of Target Tetra® Detachable Coil in the endovascular embolization treatment of small intracranial aneurysm (≤5mm).

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.

The purpose of this extended study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Branch Endovascular Graft-Iliac Bifurcation in combination with the commercially available Atrium iCAST™ covered stent in patients in a treatment of aortoiliac and iliac aneurysms.

This is a prospective multi-center, single arm, non-randomized study. It is designed to evaluate the safety of the PulseRider® in patients undergoing treatment for bifurcation intracranial aneurysms.

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.

The purpose of this clinical research study is the design of a novel modular hybrid system extracorporeal circulation circuit for open heart procedures that could easily be converted from a closed to a semi-closed circuit according to the indication. This could expand the potential of minimal extracorporeal circulation and could ultimately become the new standard circuit in performing every type of cardiac surgery.

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

The investigators designed a double-blind, randomized placebo-controlled study to determine the effects of dexmedetomidine on the recovery characteristics of patients who were scheduled to undergo endovascular coil embolization.

The Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE) 12-04 study will be a prospective, nonrandomized, multicenter, single-arm evaluation designed to assess the safety and efficacy of the IBE Device in subjects with common iliac artery aneurysms (CIAA) or aorto-iliac aneurysms (AIA).

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.
