Active clinical trials for "Aneurysm"

The purpose of this trial is to assess whether a strategy of endovascular repair (if aortic morphology is suitable, open repair if not) versus open repair reduces early mortality for patients with suspected ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).

The purpose of this study is to attenuate the systemic inflammatory response after Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms, by administration of a single preoperative dosage of Methylprednisolone.

The purpose of this randomized trial was to determine whether renal perfusion with cold blood provides better protection against renal ischemia than perfusion with cold crystalloid in patients undergoing TAAA repair with left heart bypass.

To demonstrate safety and effectiveness of the Endurant Stent Graft in the treatment of Abdominal Aortic or Aorto-Uni-Iliac Aneurysms.

To compare the safety and effectiveness of Pipeline Embolization Device to coil embolization for the treatment of coilable wide-necked intracranial aneurysms

The purpose of this post-approval study is to evaluate the long-term performance of the GORE TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis (TAG device) in the primary treatment of descending thoracic aortic (DTA) aneurysms

A multi-center, randomized clinical trial that will compare endovascular repair with standard open surgery in the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Long and short-term results as well as the cost and quality of life associated with these two strategies for AAA repair will be compared.

The STARZ-TX2 trial (Study of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair with the Zenith TX2(R) TAA [Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm] Endovascular Graft) is a clinical trial approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft in the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms / ulcers.

The primary objective of the CAVIAAR study is to prove that aortic valve sparing for patients with aortic root aneurysms and/or dystrophic aortic insufficiency is associated with a 45% increase of 3 years-survival rate without increased mortality or serious increased morbidity events when compared to mechanical valve replacement. The main hypothesis of this study is that a standardized procedure of valve sparing based on external aortic annuloplasty in patients with dystrophic aortic insufficiency and/or aortic root aneurysm increases survival rate without increased mortality or serious increased morbidity events when compared with patients undergoing mechanical aortic valve replacement.

An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a weakened and enlarged area in the abdominal aorta, which is a large blood vessel in the abdomen. If an AAA ruptures, it can be life-threatening. Research has shown that sedentary individuals are at increased risk of developing AAAs. This study will evaluate the effectiveness of an exercise program at limiting the growth of small AAAs in older individuals.
