Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety differences between intracranial support catheter and guide catheter for stent-assisted embolization in the treatment of unruptured intracranial aneurysms in the anterior circulation.
The HERCULES trial is a Randomized controlled clinical trial designed to prospectively compare endosuture aneurysm repair (ESAR) to standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) clinical outcomes in treatment of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) in subjects having wide proximal aortic neck diameters (≥ 28mm and ≤ 32mm).
The study objectives are to assess safety and effectiveness, measured acutely and at the 30-day visit after implantation of the Valiant Captivia physician fenestrated Stent Graft. Clinical utility measures throughout the procedure and until discharge will be assessed
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) are two separate entities with common risk factors such as hypertension, advanced age, male sex. Atherosclerosis plays an important role in the etiology of both diseases. It has been reported that AAA is more prevalent in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Despite all the evidence, current guidelines do not recommend routine screening for AAA before CABG. Syntax score shows anatomical significance of CAD and is associated with the degree of atherosclerotic load. The investigators aim to investigate if there were any differences regarding AAA prevalence in high-SYNTAX patients versus intermediate/low-SYNTAX patients.
In this prospective randomized controlled trial, the subjects will be assigned to group transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) and group control (no intervention). The postoperative outcomes including NIHSS (National Institute of Health stroke scale) score, morbidity and mortality will be evaluated during hospital stay and by one year after surgery.
The objective of this study is to generate contemporaneous clinical data to facilitate a reasonable comparison of the performance of the FRED™ X™ device with the performance of the FRED™ device. The data generated from this study will be compared to the safety and effectiveness of the FRED™ device by meeting the same performance goals (PGs) established for the FRED™ pivotal study.
The purpose of this trial is to generate clinical evidence related to key performance outcomes of Endurant II/IIs Stent Graft Systems verses Gore Excluder / Excluder Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis in subjects with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms. Subjects are randomized and imaging collected at all follow-up time points to assess the primary endpoint.
Background: A sub-study of the AARDVARK (Aortic Aneurysmal Regression of Dilation: Value of ACE-Inhibition on RisK) trial indicated a statistically significant association between central blood pressure (BP) variability and abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) growth. The role of anti-hypertensive adherence has not been explored in the context of AAA growth. Objective: To confirm whether higher central BP variability is associated with higher AAA growth rates and to examine the effect of medication adherence on AAA growth rates in a prospective longitudinal cohort study. Methods: Up to 175 patients will be recruited over ten months from two sites with standardised quality control of AAA, BP and antihypertensive non-adherence measurement. Patients (>55 years), with AAAs ≥3cm in diameter (including AAA ≥5.5cm, not proceeding to surgery) will be recruited and undergo AAA ultrasound (US), BP (peripheral and central) and antihypertensive non-adherence measurements every four months (+/- one month) for 24 months. Ambulatory BP variability data will be collected. Data on medication adherence and beliefs around medications will be collected with validated questionnaires. Analysis: Primarily, the relationship between central diastolic BP visit-to-visit variability and AAA growth (estimated by multilevel modelling) based on US measurements and secondarily the relationship between central diastolic BP variability and time taken to reach the threshold for AAA repair (5.5 cm) or rupture.
This is a pilot, prospective, randomized control trial that aim to provide a first estimation of the 3-month post-operative variation in the functional recovery of patients who benefited from an outpatient pre-habilitation program and patients who did not benefit from it.
Observational, prospective, cohort study to evaluate, by an opportunistic screening program based on vascular ultrasound, the prevalence and characteristics of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) and Popliteal Artery Aneurysm (PAA) in a female population as well as the prevalence and characteristics of PAA in male population.
