Filter by:It is currently unclear what activities aneurysms are involved in at the time of rupture. The aim of the study is to determine the activity performed at the time of aneurysm rupture.
The adverse effects of overnight fasting before surgery have been well-documented in the contemporary literature. Still, due to the possibility of pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents, many clinicians worldwide still employ this practice. On the other hand, the benefits of preoperative oral carbohydrate loading (OCHL) have been shown in various patient groups. Studies examining the usefulness of preoperative OCHL in aortic surgery are lacking. In particular, no randomized control trials have specifically examined the impact of preoperative OCHL on the postoperative course in patients undergoing open abdominal aortic surgery.
Shockwave TEVAR is a nonrandomized, prospective, international, multi-center, PMCF, obervational study. The aim of this study is to evaluate the outcomes of the Shockwave™ Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy Balloon (Shockwave Medical Inc.) in the routine treatment of hostile iliac accesses during TEVAR and F/BEVAR.
This is a multicentric voluntary observational study with a retrospective evaluation of prospectively collected data concerning the treatment of visceral aneurysms with flow diversion stent Derivo Peripher and Derivo 2 (DED, Acandis GmbH) Follow-up will include clinical and radiological (CT) evaluation at least 12 months after the intervention. The enrollment period will be of 54 months (01/01/2020-30/06/2024). Minimum sample size will be of 50 Patients.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study will determine the clinical efficacy and safety of Lymphoblock in the prevention of postoperative retroperitoneal chylo-/lymphorrhoea in patients with open surgical treatment of the thoracoabdominal aorta. It is planned to recruit 138 clinical observations. Efficacy will be evaluated based on clinical and laboratory data.
The goal of this observational study is to find out what factors contribute to a good treatment outcome in patients who have received a stent for their dilation of the main abdominal artery (abdominal aortic aneurysm or AAA). The primary goal of this study is to build a prediction model for abdominal aortic aneurysm shrinkage one year after the treatment.
Open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (OR-AAA) is an operation associated with high morbidity, and has 30-day mortality rates of between 4 and 14%. Post-operative pain management represents a primary anesthetic focus. A better analgesia, in addition to being desirable for the patient, can potentially reduce complications associated with postoperative pain and ensure faster functional recovery. The modern concept of multimodal analgesia involves the association of multiple drugs and/or analgesic techniques to maximize the quality of analgesia and reduce the side effects of the individual methods. In this context, the addition of epidural analgesia (EA) to the intravenous administration of "traditional" analgesic drugs has assumed the role of gold standard in many surgeries, including OR-AAA. Over time, EA has proven to be a better analgesic technique than the use of intravenous opioids alone, however there is much uncertainty regarding its ability to reduce complications, morbidity and mortality of patients. For some time, efforts to research effective, less invasive and safe anesthetic alternatives, have been directed towards the development of multimodal analgesia protocols with the aim of reducing complications and ensuring faster recovery. New approaches to post-operative pain management are emerging, including rectus sheat block (RSB). Currently there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of RSB in pain control after OR-AAA. In this context, the study aims to compare two different post-operative pain management protocols, with the aim of verifying whether the use of RSB can guarantee a non-inferior level of analgesia with reduction of complications compared to AE.
A prospective, observational post-market registry collecting outcomes through a 10-year post procedure follow-up for patients treated with the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis (EXCC Device) or the GORE® EXCLUDER® Iliac Branch Endoprosthesis (IBE Device) as a part of routine clinical practice.
The goal of this observational study is to compare the measurements of abdominal aorta width via palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging in healthy individuals. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is there a measurement difference in abdominal aorta width in healthy individuals as measured by palpation and point of care ultrasound imaging? - Are palpation measurements and point of care ultrasound imaging measurements reliable when performed by physical therapy researchers? Participants will be asked to have their abdominal area be palpated around the umbilicus and will have ultrasound imaging performed over their abdominal aorta area. It is anticipated participation in the study will take less than 15 minutes. Subjects will be asked to return for a repeat visit within 1 month to determine reliability of measurements.
The VASCULAID-RETRO study, within the broader VASCULAID project, aims to create artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that can predict cardiovascular events and the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The study plans to gather and analyze data from at least 5000 AAA and 6000 PAD patients, combining existing cohorts and retrospectively collected data. During this project, AI tools will be developed to perform automatic anatomical segmentation and analyses on multimodal imaging. AI prediction algorithms will be developed based on multisource data (imaging, medical history, -omics).
