Endovascular repair for large thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure to repair large or risky aneurysms in the aorta near the chest and abdomen. It may help prevent aneurysm rupture and improve outcomes compared with other possible treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older, and you expect to live more than 1 year
- Your aneurysm is large or growing fast, or it causes symptoms (for example: >5.5 cm, or growth >0.5 cm in 6 months, or symptoms >4.5 cm)
- Your blood vessel anatomy can be treated with the device (access paths and key “landing zones” must be long enough)
- At least one connecting branch vessel is large enough (minimum branch vessel diameter 5 mm)
- Your artery sizes and lengths at the pelvis/leg or lower aorta are adequate (about 15 mm long, with diameter roughly 8–25 mm)
- You are not a good candidate for open surgery, and you can follow required follow-up visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
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 studies whether a minimally invasive (endovascular) procedure can safely treat specific serious problems of the ascending aorta. It may help people who are too high-risk for standard open-heart surgery, but only if their anatomy fits and certain risks are ruled out.
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.
This trial studies a new type of stent graft placed in the chest aorta (from the aortic arch into the descending part) to treat aneurysms or dissections in people who are too high-risk for open surgery. It may help by offering a faster, less invasive repair when waiting for a custom stent would be unsafe.
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.
