Filter by:An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a weakened and enlarged area in the abdominal aorta, which is a large blood vessel in the abdomen. Large AAAs (>55 mm diameter) carry a high risk of rupture, a surgical emergency that often leads to death due to severe internal bleeding. It has been suggested that regular exercise training might limit the rate at which AAAs develop. However, little is known about the safety and effectiveness of exercise training in these patients. This pilot study will examine the feasibility of supervised aerobic exercise training for patients with small AAAs (30 to 49 mm diameter). The investigators hypothesize that exercise training will be safe and useful for patients with small AAAs.
The purpose of the study is to compare two different types of imaging techniques to identify endoleaks. Following the endovascular procedure, subjects are seen at one month to have computed tomographic angiography (CTA) to confirm the graft is not leaking (endoleak). CTA is the standard imaging technique used to identify endoleaks. This study will investigate if the image technique color duplex ultrasound with contrast enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is a good tool to identify endoleaks too.
Cumulative radiation dose, cost, contrast induced nephrotoxicity and increased demand for computed tomography aortography (CTA) suggest that duplex ultrasonoraphy (DU) may be an alternative to CTA-based surveillance. The investigators compared CTA with DU during endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) follow-up. Patients undergoing EVAR have radiological follow-up data entered in a prospectively multicenter database. The gold standard test for endoleak detection was CTA. DU interpretation was performed independently of CTA and vice versa.
The purpose of this program of research is to determine whether curcumin, a natural health product, can prevent acute kidney injury and other complications after elective AAA repair. If proven safe and effective, curcumin is an inexpensive intervention which can be readily applied to almost 50,000 AAA repairs performed worldwide each year. New knowledge about this intervention may also guide its use in other surgical and medical settings to prevent complications to the kidneys, heart and other organs.
This proposal is for the pilot study that will inform the conduct of a larger prospective randomized controlled trial to guide perioperative work up and the cost/utility of CTCA (high definition CT coronary angiography.)
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.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm(AAA) occurs when the infrarenal aorta expands to a maximal diameter of 3.0cm or greater. Although AAA may asymptomatic for many years, almost one third eventually rupture if left untreated. Several randomized trials showed that ultrasonographic screening for AAA could reduce the frequency of acute operations and AAA-related mortality. However, all of randomized trials were performed in Western countries. There was no randomized trials for AAA screening in Asian countries. This randomized, controlled trial is to analyze the benefits of screening old population for AAA in Korea.
The current study is designed to clarify the neuroprotective effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on the patients underwent intracranial aneurysm surgery.
The study will compare clinical and angiographic outcomes in patients receiving Hydrocoil aneurysm treatment versus patients receiving non-HydroCoil aneurysm treatment.
The current observational evaluation is designed to evaluate the performance of the Axium™ MicroFx™ Detachable Coil System for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms in the real life practice.
