Filter by:This study aims to gather real-world clinical data demonstrating the continued safety and performance of the a marketed stent graft (Zenith® Alpha Thoracic Endovascular Graft [ZTA]) and collect longer term follow-up to better understand clinical outcomes associated with the expected lifetime of the device.
The goal of this registry is to evaluate the semibranch in branched endovascular aortic repair, which is a new tool in endovascular branched aortic repair.
To determine the safety and effectiveness of IMPEDE-FX RapidFill to increase the percentage of subjects with shrinkage of the abdominal aortic aneurysm sac when used as an adjunct to on-label endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) stent graft treatment in trial subjects considered candidates for elective EVAR.
The goal of the prospective observational study is to evaluate the immunological background of inflammatory response often seen after open thoracic aortic surgery. Patients scheduled for this type of procedure will undergo a series of blood testing (preoperatively, and several times postoperatively). The blood samples will be used for a wide scale of immunological tests to better evaluate potential differential markers against infection. A control group will include patients with active infective endocarditis (preoperatively). The main question is if there is a biomarker able to determine a difference between sterile systemic inflammation and infection after thoracic aortic surgery. The second question is if there is a difference in dynamics of evaluated biomarkers between sterile postoperative inflammation and active endocarditis.
This is an Early Feasibility Study to evaluate the usability, safety and functionality of 3D holographic guidance, navigation, and control (3D-GNC) as an adjunct to and confirmed by fluoroscopic imaging to be used with Cook Zenith Flex AAA Endovascular Graft.
The purpose of this randomized clinical trial is to treat patients with small to mid-sized abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA), maximum diameter of 3.5 cm to 5.0 cm, using a locally delivered, single-dose endovascular treatment. The main question the study aims to answer is to demonstrate efficacy of the product for stabilization of these small to mid-sized AAA.The study will compare the treatment group to the typical standard of care for these patients, surveillance. All subjects will be followed at designated intervals at 30/60 days, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months with continued follow-up annually for up to 5 years.
An abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a pathological dilatation of the aorta in the belly which can rupture leading to bleeding within the belly. To prevent rupture elective surgery can be performed. Endovascular repair (EVAR) is a surgical intervention whereby a stent is inserted into the AAA to prevent it from further growth and rupture. Standard AAA management has several drawbacks. To start: maximum AAA diameter is used to determine upon timing of elective repair but is imprecise in predicting the risk of rupture resulting in an unmet clinical need. Secondly, EVAR outcome and complication occurrence remain unpredictable due to poor prediction ability of computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) utilised in the follow-up protocol. Lastly, patients and physicians are being repeatedly exposed to cumulative radiation toxicity. All these drawbacks could be solved by trading the standard imaging modalities by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Within the MARVY, advanced MRI techniques are used to find out if standard imaging techniques could be replaced by MRI in three phases of the AAA management (surveillance, surgery planning and post-operative follow-up). The two most important MRI techniques that will be used are 4D flow MRI and dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE) MRI which give respectively information about the blood flow within the AAA and perfusion of the aortic wall.
The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to compare single shot rectus sheath blocks of liposomal bupivacaine/bupivacaine mixture to bilateral rectus sheath catheters infused with ropivacaine (standard of care at our facility) in patients undergoing vascular surgery with an open mid-abdominal laparotomy incision. This study will examine the difference in the highest, lowest, average, and current pain scores reported at the end of 24-48 postoperative hours using the brief pain inventory-short form (BPI-SF). Participants will be randomized to either receive a single dose of liposomal bupivacaine/bupivacaine mixture intraoperatively at the end of surgery through bilateral rectus sheath blocks (LB/B group) or to receive the standard of care ropivacaine intraoperatively at the end of surgery through bilateral rectus sheath blocks with the insertion of bilateral RS catheter for continuous ropivacaine infusion plus repeated daily boluses (Catheter group; standard care). They will be assessed for a difference in postoperative pain scores, opioid consumption, hospital and PACU length of stay, patient's satisfaction, and quality of recovery. Additionally, we will examine the resources consumed by each intervention, including the medication cost (ropivacaine vs. LB/bupivacaine mixture), block and catheter supply, hospital length of stay, and anesthesia billing time.
The INNER-B-APAC post-market clinical follow-up study is undertaken to demonstrate the safety and clinical performance of the E-nside TAAA Multibranch Stent Graft System used in endovascular treatment of patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.
The treatment of aortic aneurysms is today based on different indicators (diameters, lengths, angles, volumes of the arteries) measured on CT scan images. Several indicators are time consuming and complicatated to measure. They demand training and practice. Nurea is developing a software for automatic measurement of these indicators, PRAEVAorta® 2, to facilitate and assist the physician in his clinical routine. The purpose of this study is to compare the analysis realised by the software PRAEVAorta® 2 with the analysis realised by the healthcare professional on retrospective CT scan images. Contrasted and non-contrasted, pre-operation or post-operation CT scans from 50 patients will be analysed. The main objectif is to validate the accuracy of the software by demonstrating its adequacy to the standard method of analysis. The second objectives are the following: - Evaluate the security of the software PRAEVAorta® 2 - Evaluate the unanticipated risks related to the use of the software - Validate the accessory PRAEVAorta® Web We make the following assumption : 90% of the patients show 90% of adequacy to the healthcare professional analysis
