Filter by:Prospective, non-randomized, , multicenter study with two independent arms: - Primary Study Arm - TAAA and Pararenal aneurysms requiring only TAMBE System. Hypothesis-driven analysis. - Up to 65 additional subjects may be implanted in Continued Access Phase under the Primary Study Arm only - Secondary Study Arm - TAAA requiring TAMBE System and CTAG Device(s). Non hypothesis-driven analysis. Minimum: 122 implanted subjects. Maximum: 202 implanted subjects with up to 65 additional subjects implanted in Continued Access (Primary Study arm)
As potential biomarkers of pressure-related aortic damage, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of aortic aneurysm because of the important role they play in connective tissue homeostasis. In particular, a significant reduction in initially elevated serum MMP - 9 concentrations, compared with healthy controls, demonstrated after the aortic repair in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm implies MMPs pivotal role in aortic aneurysms. Besides, due to an active degradation and repair processes taking place in the vascular wall governed by the balance between MMP enzymes and their inhibitors, MMP - 9, expression of which is predominantly associated with disruption of aortic elastic fibers, can also be detected in the serum of healthy subjects. Indeed, mechanical stress-induced upregulation of genes and their products stimulate MMP expression in the vascular wall, which is responsible for extracellular matrix degradation. Herein, it was hypothesized that reducing the acceleration rate of aortic pressure (aortic peak dP/dt) may decrease the mechanical stretch on the aortic wall which, may in turn, reduce the expression and serum levels of MMP-9.
Patients having a planned open surgery of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and enrolled in the study will be randomized the day of the surgery in 2 groups: - Arm 1 : Patients with aortic clamping with pre-conditioning - Arm 2 : Patients with aortic clamping without pre-conditioning Patients will be then followed, during 60 days after surgery.
The BIOMArCS-AAA study aims to investigate the associations of (temporal patterns of) blood biomarkers with aneurysm growth in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA), with particular attention to biomarkers that have demonstrated prognostic value for adverse disease outcomes in coronary artery disease and biomarkers for the main genetic pathways associated with AAA.
A prospective, multi-centre, objective performance criteria clinical trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Stent Graft System manufactured by Lifetech Scientific (Shenzhen) Co., LTD. for the infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm.
The objective of this post-market clinical follow-up study is to evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients receiving PhotoFix as a patch within a vascular repair or reconstruction procedure.
The primary outcome of this study was the evaluation of the efficacy of TAP block on pain intensity following open abdominal aortic surgery.
The primary purpose of this study is to assess the use of the TAAA Debranching Stent Graft System to repair thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in patients having appropriate anatomy, as measured by device safety, effectiveness, costs of delivery of aortic surgery care, and patient quality of life domains. Additionally, the study will assess technical success and treatment success at each follow-up interval.
Populational abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) pilot screening programme performed by duplex ultrasonography in population born in 1952 in health areas depending from Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau in Barcelona. Descriptive data analysis and cost-effectiveness study will be performed.
Although open repair (OR) is currently reported as the gold standard of treatment, fenestrated endovascular repair (FEVAR) is being increasingly applied for the treatment of proximal abdominal aortic aneurysms (p-AAA) such as hostile-necked, juxta-, para- and supra-renal aortic aneurysms.1 Nevertheless, advantages of FEVAR in terms of lowering postoperative complications, should be balanced with the need of both complex device configurations and operators with large endovascular expertise. The aim of this study is to report the experience of Data from patients treated will be prospectively collected. All post-operative results will be recorded. Major adverse event (MAE) are defined as the presence of one of the following: all-cause mortality, bowel ischemia, myocardial infarction, paraplegia, respiratory failure, stroke and renal insufficiency. Furthermore, the pre-operative contrast-enhanced computed tomography scans (CTA) of all patients, stored in the hospital PACS, will be analyzed on the dedicated workstation with OsiriX software (Pixmeo sarl, Bernex, Switzerland) currently employed in our Unit for imaging assessment. Patients will undergo standard control with the execution of a Doppler ultrasound and creatinine serum levels at 1, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months. A CTA will also be performed at 12 months as per standard clinical practice. of p-AAA treatment.
