This study will assess the initial feasibility of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Thoracoabdominal Branch Endoprosthesis (TAMBE Device) in the treatment of Aortic Aneurysms Involving the Visceral Branch Vessels.
Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is localized structural defects in the arterial wall, whose innate or acquired character is still unknown. This segmental non atheromatous injury, leads to stenosis of the arteries of small and medium caliber. Renal arteries are the most commonly affected with 60-75% of total fibrodysplasia. Three histological subtypes have been described: intimal, medial and peri-medial. They are not mutually exclusive and can be observed in the same patient. This is a rare blood disease, occurring in children and young adults. In this young population with long life expectancy, these aneurysmal lesion are associated with 10% risk of rupture. To date, no data have shown in the literature that FMD is link to genetic causes, or if there is specific histopathologic lesions for non-atherosclerotic renal artery aneurysms. To answer these questions, Cardiovascular Surgery Unit of the University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, French national reference center for renal artery surgery, in association with the Reference Center for Rare Vascular Disease in Paris, designed the first study for pathological and genetic characteristics of dysplastic renal artery aneurysms in young patients.
Goal directed therapy (GDT) is a technique, which employs a non-invasive cardiac output monitoring (NICOM) device to guide management of circulating blood volume and blood pressure during procedures. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of goal-directed therapy to optimize blood volume and cardiac output during the procedure can improve the outcome of patients undergoing endovascular treatment of a brain aneurysm.
Prospective, single center first-in-man study of use of device for intracranial aneurysm occlusion
Identifying and making a decision about the best health treatment or screening option can be difficult for patients. Decision aids can be used when there is more than one reasonable option, when no option has a clear advantage in terms of health outcomes, and when each option has benefits and harms that patients may value differently. Decision aids may be pamphlets, videos, or web-based tools. They make the decision explicit, describe the options available, and help people to understand these options as well as their possible benefits and harms. This helps patients to consider the options from a personal view (e.g., how important the possible benefits and harms are to them) and helps them to participate with their health practitioner in making a decision. Cerebral aneurysms are common and potentially very dangerous. However, there are important treatment choices that may prevent bleeding and stroke before aneurysm rupture.Current procedural options are clipping and endovascular coiling. The anatomy of most aneurysms is amenable to either treatment. The treatment decisions are not simple, since each choice has its own trade-offs. How the benefits and trade-offs are valued varies across different patients, and, therefore, the right treatment decision needs to include greater patient participation. This starts with better communication of the probabilities associated with the outcomes of each option in terms that can be understood by patients. Equally important is helping the patients clarify their own treatment goals, as well as legitimizing patients' partnership in the decision-making process. Tools (e.g., decision aids) to achieve shared decision-making, are lacking in this area of medicine. We propose to investigate the impact of such decision aids on patient satisfaction and the outcomes of cerebral aneurysm coiling and clipping. Aim 1. To determine whether structured decision aids offered to cerebral aneurysm patients are associated with increased patient participation in the decision making process as indicated by the OPTION score Aim 2. To determine whether structured decision aids offered to cerebral aneurysm patients are associated with improved quality of life and patient satisfaction outcomes immediately preoperatively, and 30 days postoperatively.
A Blind-adjudication Multi-center Phase II Randomized Clinical Trial of Continuous Low-dose Intravenous Heparin Therapy in Coiled Low-grade Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Patients with Significant Hemorrhage Burden. - STUDY IS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED WITH PLAN TO RESUME SOON. NO SAFETY CONCERNS
The present study will investigate the effect of artificially stiffening the aorta by means of an aortic stent on central aortic haemodynamics (CAH). This study will determine whether aortic stenting inadvertently adversely impacts on CAH, thereby providing the rational for subsequent therapeutic intervention to reduce the associated cardiovascular risk.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis to treat an infrarenal aneurysm located in the abdominal aorta. Performance of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis will be judged by separate performance goals.
The study is a non-randomized, multi-center safety and feasibility trial of Aneufix ACP-T5 to treat patients with Isolated type II endoleak in the presence of a non-shrinking AAA sac following an EVAR procedure.
