Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if high-dose PUFA supplementation in patients undergoing EVAR for infra-renal AAA reduces the peri-operative inflammation.
The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and performance of Relay Pro and Relay NBS Pro devices in humans having thoracic aortic pathologies. Clinical results will be used to apply for the CE certification.
The vascular surgery is a highest risk procedure when considering postoperative complications associated with the cardiovascular system. The leading clinical presentation is acute hemodynamic decompensation. However, one of the possible pathomechanisms might be repolarization disturbances. Many of perioperative risk factors of cardiac complications are modifiable. The identification may help in the global perioperative risk reduction. Aim: The aim of the study was an identification of the factors which may release clinically overt repolarization disturbances. Methods: The study group consisted of 100 patients, diagnosed with abdominal subrenal aortic aneurysms or peripheral arterial disease scheduled for an elective "open" vascular surgery procedure. The authors investigated whether age, gender, comorbidities or some perioperative factors (including hemodynamic, metabolic or genetic) were related to the occurrence of clinically concealed repolarization disturbances or clinically disclosed cardiac complications in postoperative time up to 30 day and one year after vascular surgery procedure.
This study evaluates the effects of an eHealth tool and psychosocial support on anxiety, depression and health-related quality of life in patients undergoing surgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Participants in the intervention group will receive access to the eHealth tool and structured follow-up with a contact nurse, the control group will receive standard of care.
Fluoroscopy is traditionally used for guidance of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR). In order to minimize exposure to radiation and nephrotoxic contrast medium, it is possible to generate a navigation road map by registering the intraoperative images with preoperative computed tomography angiograph (CTA). In modern hybrid operating rooms, several commercial solutions for this exists today (e.g. Siemens Syngo iPilot, Phillips Vesselnavigator). In order to register (fuse) the preoperative and intraoperative imaging to each other, a registration algorithm has to be applied. Sufficient accuracy of this algorithm is crucial, for if it fails the road map cannot be used for intraoperative navigation. The purpose of this study is therefore to evaluate two different 3D registration algorithms with regard to registration accuracy.
We will demonstrate the validity of measurements with a low-dose, EKG-gated CT without contrast in the ascending aorta evaluation, compared with the current Angio-CT measurements.
To determine the safety and efficacy of the BMFM® kit in the use for the endovascular treatment of aortic aneurysms involving iliac arteries. The BMFM® kit is an adaptation of the aortic MFM® to the aortoiliac bifurcation morphology. It should be noted that the aortic MFM® has CE mark approval for the aortic aneurysm treatment.
Exercise testing is commonly being used in patients before surgery to test their overall fitness. One group it is being used in is patients who have an enlarged blood vessel in their stomach. This is known as an abdominal aortic aneurysm. The exercise test used is known as a cardiopulmonary exercise test as it looks at both heart and lung function at the same time. Whilst this test is commonly used there have been no studies (to date) which have looked at how reliable this test is; this means how well the investigators can obtain the same (or very similar) results after multiple tests. The investigators would like to test this reliability both between patients and the clinicians performing the testing.
A prospective clinical evaluation of the effectiveness of the Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System when used in the treatment of subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA).
This study will evaluate a randomized comparison of direct versus snare techniques for cannulation of contralateral gate during an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure. This information will be used to determine if primary snaring is superior to retrograde cannulation in decreasing procedural time and radiation exposure.
