Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the use of a physician-modified Cook Alpha Thoracic Endovascular Graft in the repair of complex aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms and aneurysms secondary to aortic dissections in high-risk patients having appropriate anatomy. The primary intent of the study is to assess the safety and preliminary effectiveness of the device. Additionally, the study will assess renal function, radiation exposure, and quality of life.
The primary objective of this single arm, prospective feasibility study, Impact of Frailty on Clinical Outcomes of Patients Treated for Thoracoabdominal and Complex Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms with Physician-Modified Fenestrated and Branched Stent Grafts, is to assess the use of the physician-modified fenestrated/branched endografts to repair thoracoabdominal and complex aortic aneurysms in subjects having appropriate anatomy, at high risks for open repairs. The primary intent of the study is to assess safety and preliminary effectiveness of the device acutely (i.e., treatment success and technical success), at 30 days (i.e., the rate of major adverse events (MAE)) and at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and annually to 5 years (i.e., the proportion of treatment group subjects that achieve and maintain treatment success). Additionally, this study will assess the degree of patient frailty before and after the aneurysm repair, as well as the association between the preoperative baseline frailty and clinical outcomes detailed above. This will help improve subject selection in identification of high risk patients who would not only suffer poor clinical outcomes, but also experience decline in their functional status.
Observational prospective pilot study to analyze the trajectory of neuroinflammatory protein expression in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in relation to systemic compartment in patients undergoing thoracic aortic surgery. The aim of this study is to identify and unravel the biochemical (neuroinflammatory) pathways involved in postoperative delirium. Patient undergoing thoracic aortic surgery will have an external lumbar drain (ELD) in situ on the day before surgery. This ELD remains in place during and three days after surgery to reduce the risk on periprocedural spinal cord ischemia. Paired measurements of CSF and blood will be analyzed.
In this study, the investigator plan to prescribe Methylprednisolone pulse therapy in Kawasaki disease patients with coronary artery lesions or aneurysm formation beyond acute stage to investigate the role for vasculitis of KD or regression of dilatation.
The aim of this randomized study is to compare the safety and performance of EndoVascular Aneurysm Repair with ESAR using Endurant + Heli-FX™ EndoAnchor™ system and FEVAR using customizable grafts from Cook (Zenith Fenestrated Graft) and Terumo (Fenestrated Anaconda Graft) for the treatment of aortic aneurysms with short aortic neck (4 to 15mm).
In this research, the investigators are looking at the effects of a drug called metformin may have on the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)s. AAA is an abnormal enlargement of the aorta, which is the large artery in the abdomen (stomach area). The enlargement of the aorta carries a risk that it will rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding in the abdomen (belly). In this study the investigators hope to learn how metformin is associated with the enlargement or change in size of the AAA in study participants. Smaller studies have suggested that metformin may reduce the rate at which aortic aneurysms enlarge. This study will test this question: does metformin prevent AAAs from growing larger?
In recent years, many developments have been made to the tools and techniques used to treat IAs via endovascular intervention. Specifically, to the detachable coils themselves. In March 2018, the US Food and Drug administration granted Balt USA 510(k) clearance for the Optima Coil System™. Earlier this year, the list of devices included within the system has expanded to include OptiMAX Complex Super Soft and Complex Soft coils. It consists of coils that come in Standard, Soft and Super Soft profiles and allows for instant detachment from the pusher. The APPLY study is a prospective, single-center investigator-initiated study meant to assess the use of the Balt Optima™ Coil System. The site is looking to enroll approximately 30 subjects over the course of two years. The Optima Coil System™ is commercially available in the United States as such this study is looking for real-world data.
"Study on the effectiveness and safety of the coil system for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms embolization" was sponsored by Zhuhai Tongqiao Medical Technology Co., Ltd. The trial design is: prospective, multi-center, randomized, open, parallel positive control, and non-inferiority test. Purpose: To compare the data obtained by using the coil system produced by Zhuhai Tongqiao Medical Technology Co., Ltd. and the Axium Detachable Coil produced by Medtronic for the embolization of intracranial aneurysms to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of coil system for intracranial aneurysms embolization.
Prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical investigation of the NEXUS™ Aortic Arch Stent Graft System (NEXUSTM) for the treatment of thoracic aortic lesions involving the aortic arch with a proximal landing zone, native or previously implanted surgical graft, in the ascending aorta and with a brachiocephalic trunk native landing zone.
This will be a non-randomized, prospective, observational multi-center research study. Its purpose will be to assess the mortality and outcome of EVAR in patients with rAAA. As mentioned in the introduction, EVAR approach for ruptured bdominal aortic aneurysms is nowdays common clinical practice in many vascular centers , and the main treatment option in Hippokrateio General hospital. The same applies in all future participating vascular centers.
