Filter by:The number of AAA-surgeries performed per capita is 3-4 times higher in Innlandet county, as compared to Oslo. The last three years the annual incidence of AAA requiring treatment has been 21.5 / 100 000 inhabitants in Innlandet, as compared to 6.6 / 100 000 in Oslo. The indication for surgery is the same in both regions. In Oslo, a screening program was established in 2011, reporting a prevalence of AAA of 2.6 %, but in Innlandet county all AAA are either symptomatic or incidental findings and the prevalence is unknown. The aetiology of the major difference in AAA prevalence between these two regions has not been previously explored.
Complex endovascular aortic repair in inflammatory and infective perivisceral abdominal aortic aneurysms and thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms (CEVARII) study is a collaborative international effort among vascular surgeons to establish a database on the global experience in the management of INAAs and IAAs. Ethical approval for the study was obtained from the Colorado Multiple Institutional Review Board (COMIRB) under protocol number 23-1533.
The overall objective of the POP-STAR project is individualized surveillance for patients diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysms by means of more precise, patient-specific AAA growth prediction.
A multi-centre population-based open-label randomized controlled trial with allocation concealment and blinded outcome assessment will examine if up to 2g metformin daily slows AAA growth in patients with small AAAs who do not have diabetes.
This is an intersectional and interdisciplinary screening program in Viborg Municipality, including 67 years old citizens. This observational study will estimate the cost-effectiveness of a combined screening program for the following conditions: Abdominal aortic aneurysm, peripheral arterial disease, carotid plaque, hypertension, arrhythmia, and type-2-diabetes. Furthermore, the incidence of the outlined conditions will be described and so will the result of the intervention initiated (secondary medical prophylaxis, smoking cessation, introduction to nutritionally deficient diet etc.)
The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical outcomes and radiation of the use of off-the-shelf and custom-made devices (CMDs) for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal, suprarenal, thoracoabdominal and arch aortic aneurysms in patients having appropriate anatomy. The study consists of three cohorts. The first 2 cohorts are the continuation of the current IDE study. The first cohort is aimed to assess the use of custom-made devices (CMDs) for the endovascular repair of juxtarenal, suprarenal and type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in standard and high-risk patients having appropriate anatomy (Fenestrated-CMD cohort). The second cohort (Type I-III thoracoabdominal cohort) includes standard and high-risk patients with type I- III thoracoabdominal aneurysms that require the use of branched/fenestrated CMDs, or, in selected cases, the Zenith Thoracoabdominal Branch (Zenith® t-Branch™) device. Finally, the third cohort (the Arch cohort) will include 25 high-risk patients with aortic arch aneurysms treated by patient-specific stent-grafts with one to three inner branches or a scallop
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the acute safety of deploying and implanting the Altura Endograft in the treatment of AAA in subjects who are candidates for endovascular repair. Secondary objectives are to evaluate the acute and longer-term safety and performance of the Altura Endograft through 5 years.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate visceral function, after endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms or ascending/aortic arch aneurysms.
The ACRIN 7151 trial will use medical records abstraction data from participants with extracolonic findings (ECFs) reported from the ACRIN 6664 National CT Colonography Trial to: 1) measure incidence of diagnostic imaging, hospitalization, and interventional procedures associated with ECFs reported on computed tomography colonography (CTC), delineated by type of ECF; 2) determine potential predictors of follow-up diagnostic imaging, hospitalization, and interventional procedures, delineated by type of ECF; and 3) evaluate the clinical/pathologic diagnoses associated with indeterminate but potentially significant ECFs. These data can be used to incorporate ECFs into existing models on the cost-effectiveness of CTC in colorectal cancer screening and can potentially be used to develop guidelines for the reporting and management of ECFs.
Male subjects, 65 years of age, living in Oslo, Norway will be invited to be screened for abdominal aortic aneurysm.
