NCT07224230
This single-arm FDA-monitored protocol intends to broaden endovascular device applicability using physician-modifications in patients who A) Have anatomical conditions not amenable to endovascular repair using currently marketed grafts in the United States. B) Are at high risk for open surgical repair. C) Are high-risk subjects with previously placed endovascular devices and have developed failure of their previous devices. The use of physician-modified endografts aims to shift the seal zone proximally above the celiac artery in order to treat their complex or thoracoabdominal aneurysms in a minimally invasive fashion. These patients are considered too high risk to survive open surgical repair and do not meet anatomic criteria for the Gore Thoracoabdominal Multi Branch Endoprosthesis, which is currently the only FDA approved device in the US to treat these aneurysms. The primary objective is to evaluate safety and effective of physician modified endografts in the treatment of thorax-abdominal aneurysms and complex aortic aneurysms. For primary safety endpoints, mortality and major adverse events (MAE) will be analyzed at 30 days or in hospitalization (if this exceeds 30 days). Primary endpoints include the following: 1. Mortality related to primary aortic disease 2. Aneurysm rupture 3. All cause mortality For primary effectiveness endpoints, treatment success will be analyzed as the proportion of patients to achieve treatment success at 12 months. Treatment success is defined by a composite endpoint, which includes all of the following criteria: Technical success (defined as successful delivery and deployment of the physician modified endograft with perseveration of those branch vessels intended to be preserved, freedom from type I or type III endoleak, freedom from stent graft migration, freedom from aneurysm enlargement \>5mm, freedom from aneurysm rupture or conversion to open repair. Secondary objectives of the study include assessment of individual safety and effectiveness endpoints as follows: technical success, procedure success, mortality, major adverse events - specifically renal, cardia, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, and neurologic. Each endpoint will be analyzed separately. Secondary endpoints will be individually analyzed at 4-8 weeks, 6 months, and annually at 1,2,3,4, and 5 years. Secondary endpoints to be analyzed are the following: 1. Evidence of Aortic Disease Progression: Monitoring for aneurysm growth \> 5 mm from baseline measurements. 2. Device Failure: Evaluation of device performance, including migration \> 10 mm, device degradation, and loss of device integrity. 3. Endoleaks: Monitoring for the occurrence and classification of endoleaks as outlined in the clinical outcome definitions. 4. Secondary Interventions: Description and analysis of secondary interventions aimed at treating branch vessel stenosis, occlusion, or embolization. 5. Significant Lifestyle-Limiting or Disabling Complications: Assessment and reporting of complications resulting in significant impairment of daily life, such as stroke-induced paralysis (paraplegia). 6. Cardiac Dysfunction: Monitoring and analysis of cardiac events, including myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, and cardiac ischemia requiring intervention. 7. Renal Events: Evaluation of renal complications, including the need for dialysis, deterioration of renal function, and renal failure. 8. Mesenteric Events: Description and classification of mesenteric complications, such as ischemia and the need for surgical resection. 9. Respiratory Events: Monitoring for respiratory complications, including respiratory failure and prolonged intubation Secondary endpoints will be individually analyzed at 4-8 weeks, 6 months, and annually at 1,2,3,4, and 5 years
NCT07184723
Symptomatic non-ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysms (snrAAA) remain a clinical challenge due to limited evidence and heterogeneous definitions and management strategies. Unlike ruptured AAAs, snrAAA lack large-scale population-based studies, primarily due to inconsistent application of standardised medical classifications (e.g., ICD-10) and international variability in definitions, diagnostic approaches, and treatment protocols. Optimal diagnostic pathways, preoperative risk assessments, and treatment strategies remain poorly defined, with minimal guidance from existing guidelines. This study aims to conduct a multinational cross-sectional online survey with optional retrospective validation to assess current opinions on an institutional scale regarding the definition and management of patients with snrAAA in Europe. All European vascular centres offering elective and emergency AAA repair are eligible to participate. Multiple survey entries from the same institution are not allowed. Centres are also invited to participate in a retrospective observational validation, reporting diagnostic and therapeutic details of their last five snrAAA cases.
NCT06710938
This study is designed as a single-center, prospective, single-arm, open-label, exploratory study. The objective is to evaluate the feasibility of Thoracoabdominal Artery Stent Graft System for endovascular treatment of Thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (TAAA).
NCT06884397
Abdominal aortic aneurysm, a condition characterised by an increase in the diameter of the aorta, can be treated either surgically or endovascularly. In the latter, an endoprosthesis consisting of a metal spring covered with an impermeable fabric is inserted through an artery and deployed inside the aorta. This new method appears to be less invasive than surgery, but its long-term results are not yet fully understood. As a result, patients who have undergone this treatment are monitored by their surgeon to ensure that there is no endoleak. Several research teams have proposed analysing medical images to predict this risk of endoleak. Doctors are now trying to use artificial intelligence to automate the analysis of these images.

NCT01810250
The Department of Vascular Surgery at Catharina Hospital Eindhoven, The Netherlands initiates the Endurant for Challenging Anatomy: Global Experience (EAGLE) Registry. The aim of this study is to collect clinical information on the performance of the Endurant Stent Graft System for endovascular repair in anatomically challenging aneurysms, and to critically assess whether the current guidelines for anatomic eligibility to endovascular treatment with this system are still applicable. This study aims at creating a database that can be pooled/ compared with the ENGAGE database. This study aims at answering two major questions: 1. Is the technical success rate of successful delivery and deployment of the Endurant (II) similar in anatomically challenging aneurysm? 2. Is the successful treatment rate comparable in anatomically challenging aneurysms, or does treatment of these aneurysms lead to more complications and reinterventions?
NCT03469245
Fenestrated endovascular repair (FEVAR) is nowadays a recognized option to treat juxtarenal, pararenal or suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms in patients at high risk for conventional repair. The technique consists in deploying a custom-made stent-graft (SG) inside the patient aorta. Part of the customization involves cauterizing a hole in SG fabric and reinforcing it with a Nitinol stent ring, thereby creating a fenestration for each corresponding collateral artery. For this reason, preoperative planning is crucial to determine adequate positions of fenestrations, in order to obtain perfect alignment with the collateral arteries of the patient. Inadequate positioning may result in failure to catheterize a collateral artery and subsequent organ damage, increased catheterizing time, increased irradiation dose, endoleaks… The current process of fenestrations positioning for fenestrated anacondaTM SG involves: (i) anatomical measurements on patient preoperative CT-scan by case planners using dedicated sizing software; (ii) designing an initial custom device scheme with its positioned fenestrations, created by engineers with CAD software using the above cited measurements and (iii) validation of fenestrations position by in vitro testing using a SG prototype deployed inside a transparent anatomy model (3D-printed model of patient aorta and collateral arteries). The main limitations of this process are the costs and long SG delivery time.

NCT00522535
Purpose of this study: The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lombard Medical endovascular Aorfix™ AAA bifurcated stent graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic, aorto-iliac and common iliac aneurysms with anatomies including angled aorta, angled aneurysmal body, or both, between 0° and 90°. Study hypothesis: The primary efficacy hypothesis is the proportion of grafts remaining free from endoleak, migration, and fracture at 12 months. Efficacy: The 12 month, all cause mortality rate in the Aorfix™ group will be non-inferior to the 12 month, all cause mortality rate in the Open Control group. Safety: The rates of early serious adverse events between 0 and 30 days post-operative in the Aorfix™ groups will be non-inferior to the early serious adverse event rates between 0 and 30 days post-operative in the Open Control group.

Well-documented health benefits may be achieved through prophylactic screening for cardiovascular disease. The advantages are fewer premature deaths and a reduction in the number of hospital admissions and amputations. Furthermore, hospitals will benefit from the derived reduction in the pressure on surgery and intensive care capacities at vascular surgery departments. It therefore seems extremely relevant to offer joint screening for abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease and hypertension, even if the benefit and costs of such a measure are not currently known. Consequently, the primary objective of the study is to establish the effect and cost-efficiency of a joint circulation screening programme for 40,000 men aged 65-74 years in a randomised, clinically controlled study. The project manager will train six nurses to measure ABI and perform ultrasound scans of the aorta. The nurses form three teams which will each be equipped with a portable Doppler, blood pressure cuff and portable ultrasound scanner. Each team will operate from the hospitals in the Region. Civil registration number (in Danish: CPR), name and address information will be supplied by the Clinical Epidemiological Department (CED), which will also perform the randomisation in groups of approx. 1,000 to avoid too long a period from data extraction to invitation. Half of the randomised subjects will be invited to participate in a circulation examination focused on PAD, AAA and hypertension, while the other half will be controls Men with positive findings are informed and proper preventive actions is taken. Annual controls are offered, and AAA exceeding 5.5 cm in diameter is offered operation. The primary efficiency variables are death, cardiovascular death and AAA-death. The secondary efficiency variables are hospital services related to cardiovascular conditions and costs for such services in accordance with current DRG rates. The entire population, the controls as well as the screening group, will be monitored for a period of 10 years. Information concerning deaths, including date of death, is obtained from the Civil Registration System, information on visits to outpatient clinics and hospital admissions caused by cardiovascular conditions including amputations is obtained from the National Patient Registry. From the Danish Causes of Death Registry information on cause of death is collected. The information is classified with regards to cause; AAA or cardiovascular. The cardiovascular interventions are identified in the vascular surgery database (Karbasen). Major follow-up is performed at 3, 5 and 10 years. A steering and data validation group will be formed including the project manager and a representative from the Clinical Epidemiology Department. Furthermore, a vascular surgeon from each of the two affected departments in the region will participate. Total mortality, cardiovascular and AAA-related mortality and initial cardiovascular hospital service are compared for the two groups using Cox proportional hazards-regression analysis which facilitates description of the risk ratio. The cost-efficiency calculation will be adjusted for quality of life.
