Filter by: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.
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.
Standard of care dictates that eligible patients should receive an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening ultrasound. At present, different military primary care physicians utilize different methods at their discretion to ensure their patients get screened—telephone contact; mail-out reminders; referring patients for ultrasound directly from an office visit; as well as other methods—which we will refer to as "usual care". The purpose of this study is to improve screening rates for AAA and determine what notification methods are best at improving screening rates.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of platelet infusion prior to transfer to a vascular surgical department in patients with a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurism.
The Aptus Endosystems STAPLE International Post-Market Registry is intended to expand the clinical knowledge base by including 'real world' subjects.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Positron Emission Tomography imaging can help to predict the evolutivity of AAA treated with endovascular prosthesis.
Male subjects, 65 years of age, living in Oslo, Norway will be invited to be screened for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
