Filter by:Background: Aortic stent-graft is useful to occlude intimal tear and prevent further dilatation of the false lumen in patients with aortic dissection. The long-term benefit of aortic stent-graft in patients with uncomplicated distal aortic dissection has not been well demonstrated, especially in patients at high risk of aneurysmal change and death. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to evaluate long-term clinical benefit of stent-graft insertion performed just after the acute phase into the descending thoracic aorta in patients with distal aortic dissection and at high risk of aneurysmal change of the dissected aorta.
AIDA Study is a prospective, multicentre, randomized, controlled clinical investigation with patients undergoing median laparotomy for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) repair. The primary objective of the clinical investigation is to test the hypothesis that insertion of an Optilene® Mesh Elastic mesh - a monofilament, light-weight, large pore sized, polypropylene mesh manufactured by Aesculap AG - is superior to suturing alone and will reduce the hernia formation rate within the first 2 years. A reduction from 30% to 10% of the patient population is assumed.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Endologix Fenestrated Stent Graft System for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal or pararenal aortic aneurysms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of deploying and implanting the Altura Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Endograft in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms in subjects who are candidates for open surgical aneurysm repair.
To investigate whether limb remote ischemic preconditioning (LRIP) has protective effects against intestinal and pulmonary injury in patients undergoing open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.
The primary goal of the study is to assess the safety and performance of the Treovance device in subjects with infrarenal aortic aneurysms, specifically to evaluate if the diseased pathology can be treated with an acceptable adverse event rate and that the device performs as expected. The results of this study will permit the establishment of endpoints and clinical design for a subsequent U.S. trial.
To define any changes in whole body oxygen consumption that occur following major vascular surgery (open aortic aneurysm surgery; endovascular aortic aneurysm repair; and infra-inguinal lower limb revascularisation procedures).
This study is a continuation of the pivotal trial studying the safety and efficacy of the Relay thoracic stent-graft system to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms. Efficacy is being evaluated by the device-related adverse event rate of endovascular repair (via the Relay thoracic stent-graft) through 1 year. Safety is being evaluated by comparing major adverse events through 1 year in subjects treated with the Relay thoracic stent-graft to those who underwent surgical repair.
A prospective study conducted in Japan to collect confirmatory peri-operative and 30-day information on use of the Zenith LP AAA Graft.
Renal colic is a common (1300 visits per year at our institution) and painful condition caused by stones in the kidney and ureter, and can be mimicked by life threatening conditions such as a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This can create clinical uncertainty. Emergency department targeted ultrasound (EDTU) is performed by an emergency physician at the patient's bedside, and has been shown to be accurate, safe, and efficient. We have shown that EDTU can accurately identify hydronephrosis, which is a predictor of complications of kidney stones. A normal formal ultrasound (US) predicts an uncomplicated clinical course. We will assess the accuracy of EDTU for the diagnosis of hydronephrosis, and when normal, whether patients can be safely discharged.
