Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT07078383Recruiting
Study of the Rapidlink device for aorta repair
This trial tests a device called Rapidlink that helps repair blood vessels branching off the aorta during open heart surgery. It may be an option if you need open surgery to fix your thoracic aorta.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03536312Recruiting
Surgery versus monitoring for enlarged ascending aorta
This trial compares two ways to treat an enlarged (bigger) ascending aorta: having surgery now versus careful imaging follow-up (surveillance). It may help you and your care team decide which approach lowers the risk of serious problems for aneurysms in a specific size range.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–79 - NCT04746677Recruiting
Stent repair for complex aortic problems when standard options fail
This trial tests whether a specially built stent-graft made for your anatomy can be done safely and effectively for complex aortic disease. It may help people who are too risky for open surgery or who cannot wait for a standard custom device to be made.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT04875429Recruiting
Study of a fenestrated aortic graft for certain aneurysms
This study checks how well a specially designed aortic graft (a fenestrated device) works for people with specific types of enlarged or fast-growing aortic aneurysms. It may help confirm whether the device is safe and effective for preventing aneurysm problems.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05378347Recruiting
Compare two aortic stent graft types for AAA
This study compares two commercially used stent graft devices to treat an enlarged abdominal aorta (AAA). It aims to see which device works better and is safer over follow-up visits.
Springfield, MassachusettsAges 20 years+ - NCT02050113Recruiting
Custom endograft repair for complex aortic aneurysms
This trial tests custom-made and doctor-modified grafts to treat complex bulges in the aorta (the body’s main artery) or the part going into the pelvis. It may help people who cannot use standard approved devices or who need treatment urgently because waiting is unsafe.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT00583817Enrolling by invitation
Endovascular repair for thoracic aortic aneurysms and dissections
This study tests whether repairing an enlarged or tearing (dissection) thoracic aorta using a catheter-based procedure can be safer for people who are high-risk for open surgery. It uses specialized stent grafts placed through blood vessels to seal the problem and prevent complications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07019454Recruiting
Custom stent graft for aneurysms near the kidneys
This study tests a doctor-modified stent graft to treat a type of abdominal aortic aneurysm (just above the kidneys). It may be an option if your aneurysm is large, growing, or causing symptoms, and standard devices aren't suitable.
Springfield, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04005976Recruiting
Genetic study for inherited aortic disease
This trial is for people with inherited (family-run) aortic enlargement or aneurysm caused by a specific DNA gene change. It uses genetic information to guide more precise care, which may help tailor monitoring and treatment for you and your family.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05004051Recruiting
Monitoring before and after aortic aneurysm endovascular repair
This registry study tracks how patients do before and after an endovascular procedure to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm. It also looks at how aneurysms are measured over time, which may help improve follow-up care.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06658730Recruiting
A study to check long-term safety of a Gore thoracic stent graft
This registry study tracks patients who have or will receive a Gore thoracic stent graft to see how well the device performs over time. It helps doctors understand the device's long-term benefits and any possible complications.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05800743Enrolling by invitation
Stent grafts for high-risk ascending aorta problems
This study tests a new stent graft placed through the groin/back to treat problems in the ascending aorta (and sometimes the arch), usually when open-heart surgery is considered too risky. Doctors will check whether the device is safe and works well over time, including imaging and a long follow-up.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05064540Recruiting
Testing a new EVAR approach for unruptured AAA
This trial studies an endovascular (through blood vessels) repair technique for an unruptured enlarged artery in the belly called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It may help doctors compare outcomes using a randomized approach and structured follow-up.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT06001918RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a new aneurysm treatment device
This trial tests a new device (Nectero EAST) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms without major surgery. It may be an option for people with a medium-size aneurysm who have not had prior repair.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 21–85 - NCT06218875Recruiting
Registry for GORE EXCLUDER aneurysm treatment
This registry tracks how well the GORE EXCLUDER and Iliac Branch devices work for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms over time. It's a way to gather real-world data to help doctors and patients make better treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06549348Recruiting
Aortic repair study using less radiation
This study tests a new way to guide a complex aortic surgery (fenestrated endovascular repair) using less or no radiation. It may help people with aneurysms who need repair involving the arteries that supply the liver, gut and kidneys.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07026877Recruiting
Stent graft study for abdominal aortic aneurysm
This study tests a special stent graft (a fabric tube placed inside the artery) that has openings (fenestrations) to fit around other blood vessels. It is for people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who need a custom-fit repair to keep blood flow normal.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT01524276Recruiting
Registry to track outcomes of Medtronic medical devices
This is a follow-up registry that collects information from people who have (or will receive) an eligible Medtronic device. It helps the company and doctors better understand how the device works in real-world use.

What taking part in a aortic aneurysm study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there aortic aneurysm clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 18 recruiting aortic aneurysm studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a aortic aneurysm study in Massachusetts?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a aortic aneurysm trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
