Filter by:The Phase I safety study is now complete. FDA approval has been granted to proceed to Phase II. The primary objectives of the Phase II study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Anaconda Stent Graft System in subjects presenting with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). The secondary objectives of this study are to assess additional clinical outcomes measurements associated with treatment of AAA using the Anaconda Stent Graft System
The primary study objective, at this time, is to follow out to 5 years post implant the safety of already enrolled subjects who were treated with the UniFit Aorto-uni-iliac (AUI) Endoluminal Stent Graft (the "study device") for the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs).
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the 45 mm TAG device in subjects with aneurysms of the descending thoracic aorta.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate two standard approaches of supplying blood and oxygen to your brain during open heart surgery.
A Descending Thoracic Aneurysm is a bulge in the aorta. The aorta is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from your heart to organs in the rest of your body. Your aneurysm is caused by a weakening in the artery wall. If left untreated, this bulge may continue to grow larger and may ultimately rupture (break open) or extend in size to seriously affect other major arteries in the area. In this Research Study a device will be placed inside your aorta to block the weakened part of the artery wall from the circulatory system. Information will be collected on the performance for the device for 5 years.
An evaluation of the TALENT Aortic Cuff in patients with existing AneuRx stent grafts who have experienced sub-optimal stent graft outcomes and are not deemed suitable candidates for treatment with an AneuRx Aortic Cuff.
The aorta is a large blood vessel that carries blood away from the heart to the organs in the rest of the body. An aneurysm is a weakening in the artery wall that will become a bulge in the aorta. If left untreated, this bulge may continue to grow larger and may rupture (break open) with fatal consequences. Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a life-threatening lesion that has been treated in recent year via endovascular repair. The purpose of this study is to monitor the long term performance of the AneuRx Stent Graft Systems.
The primary objective of this trial is to determine whether the Talent Thoracic Stent Graft, an investigational device, is a safe and effective method of treating thoracic aortic aneurysms (abnormal ballooning of the vessel wall) and other thoracic lesions (dissections, transections, pseudoaneurysms, penetrating ulcers, etc.). The endovascular method is a substitute for the major operation that is performed to treat the lesions.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of the GORE EXCLUDER® Bifurcated Endoprosthesis-Low Permeability in the primary treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The role of teleradiology has far reaching implications for the health of remote and underserved populations. The ability to coordinate radiographic evaluation and diagnosis from a distance has the potential to raise the standard of patient care throughout the world. Perhaps the safest and most cost effective mode of teleradiology today is telesonography. The current project attempts to determine the extent that telesonography improves the standard of care within a rural government-run primary clinic within the Dominican Republic. The work reported herein is intended to compare the use of telesonography to the current standard of sonographic examination (referral to government hospital 60km from target clinic). The study was conducted by randomly assigning 100 patients with clinical indications for sonographic examination into experimental and control groups. Following a 60-day implementation period, the following research questions will be addressed: 1) To what extent does the use of asynchronous telesonography increase the percentage of definitive diagnoses based on the total number of scans (definitive diagnoses / total number of scans)? 2) To what extent does the use of asynchronous telesonography increase the continuity of care for patients? 3) To what extent does the elapsed time between scanning and final radiological interpretation decrease with the use of asynchronous telesonography? This study will also look at the history of telemedicine / telesonography and its dissemination into the mainstream practice of medicine, explore training protocols that may be used to assist others to establish new telesonography programs in a developing nations, and discuss both advances and persistent barriers to the implementation of telesonography programs. Hypothesis: The use of a store-and-forward telesonography system in this setting will increase the speed and number of final diagnoses per scan received by the target clinic and will increase the continuity of care by increasing the number and speed of follow-up appointments to the target clinic.
