Stent procedure for large aortic aneurysms with custom grafts
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a less invasive “through-the-blood-vessel” stent graft procedure for large aneurysms in the main aorta or the aortic arch. It may help reduce the risk of aneurysm rupture while avoiding open surgery for people at higher surgical risk.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a large aortic aneurysm (size and/or fast growth) in the main aorta or the aortic arch
- You can expect to live more than 2 years and can sign consent and attend follow-up visits
- Your blood vessel shape and sizes fit the study’s stent graft plan (doctors must be able to safely place landing zones)
- Your kidney, heart, lung, and overall health must be high-risk for open surgery or meet specific “high-risk” checks
- You cannot have an aneurysm that is already ruptured, or a dissection (acute tear) at the time of treatment
- You are not pregnant/breastfeeding and you do not have certain major infections, bleeding/clotting problems, or metal/allergy issues

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a custom-made stent graft (a mesh tube placed inside the aorta) for people with a large, dangerous enlargement of the aorta that needs multiple branch vessels connected. It may help high-surgical-risk patients avoid open surgery, but it’s only for those who can’t use standard FDA-approved endovascular grafts.
This trial tests a new multibranched stent graft system to treat thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. It may help patients who have an aneurysm that is large, growing quickly, or causing symptoms like pain.
This study tests a specially customized endovascular (through blood vessels) repair for certain large or fast-growing aneurysms near the kidney area or chest-to-abdomen area. It may help people who are higher risk for open surgery and whose anatomy fits the device.
This trial tests a specialized multi-branch stent graft to treat a large or growing aneurysm in the aorta near the chest and abdomen. It mainly looks at safety and whether the stent keeps blood flowing to important arteries.
This trial tests a new stent graft system for treating a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm, a bulging of the main blood vessel in your chest and belly. It may be an option if your aneurysm is large, growing, or causing pain and you are healthy enough for the procedure.
This trial studies a less invasive stent procedure that blocks blood flow into certain large aneurysms in the chest-to-abdomen or upper abdomen area. It may help prevent aneurysm growth and rupture while avoiding the risks of open surgery.
