Filter by:The goal of this multicenter, observational cohort study is to evaluates the clinical effectiveness of a single-renal scallop custom-made stent-graft (TREO, Terumo Aortic, Sunrise, FL) to treat "hostile" AAA with mismatched renal arteries as actual standard of care in this Vascular Unit The main question it aims to answer are: if a dedicated devices could improve the results in the endovascular treatment of patients suffering to infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurism with a mismatched takeoff of the renal arteries. Participants responding to inclusion criteria will be treated as best clinical practice with a custom made device with a single scallop for the renal artery. The minimum follow-up requested, as standard clinical practice, was: 3-months, 12-18 months- and 5-years CTA; clinical and DUS examination at 6- and 12- and 36-months after the intervention and yearly thereafter. No comparison group was present.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are two separate entities with common risk factors such as hypertension, advanced age, male sex. Atherosclerosis plays an important role in the etiology of both diseases. It has been reported that AAA is more prevalent in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Despite all the evidence, current guidelines do not recommend routine screening for AAA before CABG. Syntax score shows anatomical significance of CAD and is associated with the degree of atherosclerotic load. The investigators aim to investigate if there were any differences regarding AAA prevalence in high-SYNTAX patients versus intermediate/low-SYNTAX patients.
The purpose of this trial is to generate clinical evidence related to key performance outcomes of Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft Systems verses Gore Excluder / Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis in subjects with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Subjects are randomized and imaging collected at all follow-up time points to assess the primary endpoint.
Background: A sub-study of the AARDVARK (Aortic Aneurysmal Regression of Dilation: Value of ACE-Inhibition on RisK) trial indicated a statistically significant association between central blood pressure (BP) variability and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth. The role of anti-hypertensive adherence has not been explored in the context of AAA growth. Objective: To confirm whether higher central BP variability is associated with higher AAA growth rates and to examine the effect of medication adherence on AAA growth rates in a prospective longitudinal cohort study. Methods: Up to 175 patients will be recruited over ten months from two sites with standardised quality control of AAA, BP and antihypertensive non-adherence measurement. Patients (>55 years), with AAAs ≥3cm in diameter (including AAA ≥5.5cm, not proceeding to surgery) will be recruited and undergo AAA ultrasound (US), BP (peripheral and central) and antihypertensive non-adherence measurements every four months (+/- one month) for 24 months. Ambulatory BP variability data will be collected. Data on medication adherence and beliefs around medications will be collected with validated questionnaires. Analysis: Primarily, the relationship between central diastolic BP visit-to-visit variability and AAA growth (estimated by multilevel modelling) based on US measurements and secondarily the relationship between central diastolic BP variability and time taken to reach the threshold for AAA repair (5.5 cm) or rupture.
This is a pilot, prospective, randomized control trial that aim to provide a first estimation of the 3-month post-operative variation in the functional recovery of patients who benefited from an outpatient pre-habilitation program and patients who did not benefit from it.
Automated carbon dioxide (CO2) angiography is considered a safe diagnostic alternative to standard iodinated contrast medium (ICM) for endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), especially in patients with preoperative renal function impairment. Recent literature experiences describe the use of automated CO2 angiography in EVAR. One of the main issues of CO2 angiography is the inability to detect the origin of the lowest renal artery (proximal neck visualization) that was estimated up to 38%. In these experiences, the CO2 automated angiography is usually performed by a 5F pigtail catheter placed at renal arteries level. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of a new automated CO2 injection technique by a 5F introducer (single hole catheter) positioned at the distal level of the proximal neck in detecting both renal arteries in the first diagnostic and completion angiographies.
The aim of present study is to evaluate intraoperative, peri-operative, and post-operative results in patients treated by the ALTO stent graft (Endologix Inc. Irvine, Calif) for elective Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm repair in a multicentric consecutive experience.
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).
This is a Hellenic Registry including both retrospective and prospective subjects receiving the Ovation Alto™ Abdominal Stent Graft System ("Ovation Alto™ Abdominal Stent Graft System Post-Market Study") in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The Ovation Alto™ Hellenic Registry is intended to expand the clinical knowledge base by collecting data on subjects treated with the Ovation Alto™ Abdominal Stent Graft System in actual clinical practice during the first post-operative year.
Multicenter, single-arm retrospective and prospective registry is being conducted to confirm the clinical performance and safety of GORE® VIABAHN® VBX Balloon Expandable Endoprosthesis when used as a Bridging Stent with Branched and Fenestrated Endografts in the Treatment of Aortic Aneurysms Involving the Renal-Mesenteric Arteries.
