Personalized CT modeling to plan safer aneurysm stent repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study uses your detailed CT scan to create a personalized computer plan for placing a stent inside your enlarged aorta (an abdominal aortic aneurysm). It may help doctors choose the best stent approach for your anatomy during endovascular repair.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm and doctors recommend EVAR or FEVAR (stent repair through blood vessels)
- Your pre-surgery CT scan is detailed enough to plan the stent (enhanced, thin-slice, and compatible with endovascular planning)
- You can sign informed consent (and understand what the study involves)
- You do not have a reason you cannot receive endovascular (stent) repair
- Your kidney function is adequate (creatinine clearance 30 mL/min or higher)
- You do not have a history of a severe allergy to iodinated contrast used in CT scans
- You have a recent enhanced thin-slice CT scan (not only MRI or a non-contrast CT)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial uses artificial intelligence to study CT scans taken before and after aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR) to predict long-term outcomes. Participants must have had standard EVAR and detailed CT scans both before and within a year after surgery.
This study tests whether a surgeon-customized stent graft is safe and effective for treating complex, high-risk or hard-to-repair aortic aneurysms. It may help people who are at higher risk for open surgery or have aneurysms that previous treatments could not fully fix.
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.
This study uses computer models and artificial intelligence to better understand how aortic stent grafts (TEVAR) work in patients. Researchers will analyze your medical imaging to create a digital copy of your aorta, which may help doctors predict long-term success and improve future patient care.
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.
This trial is looking at how your heartbeat and breathing affect blood flow in an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It uses a special type of stent graft called Treo. The goal is to learn more so doctors can better treat AAAs.
