Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to determine if using FloTrac/EV1000 system in neurosurgical patients undergoing craniotomies for aneurysm repair or tumor resection complicated by cerebral edema, or complex spinal surgery including multi-level scoliosis correction, is a more effective way of monitoring fluid.

Vitamin D has been shown to impact prognosis in a variety of retrospective and randomized clinical trials within an intensive care unit (ICU) environment. Despite these findings, there have been no studies examining the impact of hypovitaminosis D in specialized neurocritical care units (NCCU). Given the often significant differences in the management of patients in NCCU and more generalized intensive care units there is a need for further inquiries into the impact of low vitamin D levels in this specific environment. This study proposes a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single center evaluation of vitamin D supplementation in the emergent NCCU patient population. The primary outcome will involve length-of-stay for emergent neurocritical care patients. Various secondary outcomes, including in-hospital mortality, ICU length-of-stay, Glasgow Outcome Score on discharge, complications and quality-of-life metrics. Patients will be followed for 6 months post-discharge.

A prospective clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of the Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System when used in the treatment of subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

This study is a data linkage project within which we aim to model the impact on the NHS AAA Screening programme of a targeted approach to screening by targeting men who smoke. This in-silico study will generate a hypothetical population based on primary care datasets with known outcomes from screening (we know which men have an aneurysm and who do not) to determine the feasibility and safety of this approach.

This is a prospective clinical study of the VasQ external support for arteriovenous fistulas. The device is designed to improve fistula outcomes by optimizing the geometrical configuration of the fistula, influencing hemodynamics, minimizing turbulence and promote laminar flow. All patients will be implanted with the VasQ device and will be followed up for a duration of 24 months.

The scope of this trial is the collection and analysis of effectiveness and safety endpoints, related to the use of the MicroPort NeuroTech Coil Embolization System in the treatment of intracranial aneurysms.

This study of NicaPlant® is conducted in patients who have a subarachnoid haemorrhage. Patients will be randomized in two treatment groups. Both groups will receive the standard of care and the investigational group will receive in addition NicaPlant®. NicaPlant® is tested to reduce the long-term complications of aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH).

The aim of our study is to analyze the immediate and long-term results between patients undergoing hemiarch replacement with ACP under mild hypothermic (30-32 °C) circulatory arrest versus moderate hypothermic (26-28 °C) circulatory arrest. It is hypothesized that circulatory arrest using mild hypothermia (30-32°C) and uSACP will result in complications reduction, during aortic hemiarch replacement, when compared to moderate hypothermia (26-28°C) and uSACP. For this purpose all of the patient population will be randomized into 2 groups. The first group of the patients during aortic hemiarch replacement, mild hypothermia (30-32°C) will be used during circulatory arrest. The second group of the patients during aortic hemiarch replacement, moderate hypothermia (26-28°C) will be used during circulatory arrest.

The purpose of this study is to determine whether the Endologix fenestrated stent graft system is safe and feasible in the endovascular repair of juxtarenal or pararenal aortic aneurysm.

The PRESERVE-Zenith® Iliac Branch System Clinical Study is a clinical trial to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Branch Endovascular Graft-Iliac Bifurcation in combination with the Zenith® Connection Endovascular Stent/ConnectSX™ covered stent in the treatment of aorto-iliac and iliac aneurysms.
