Preventing a common leak after AAA endovascular repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial looks at adding a protective “fill” during surgery for an aneurysm in the lower part of the aorta, to prevent a specific type of leak called type II. It may help reduce the need for additional follow-up treatments if leaks are less likely to happen.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an aneurysm in the infrarenal (below the kidneys) aorta that has no symptoms
- Your planned surgery is high-risk for developing type II leaks after repair
- Your anatomy must fit the specific EVAR (endovascular repair) device the doctors plan to use
- Your life expectancy is at least 2 years, and you’re 18 or older
- You can give written consent and follow study instructions

This study looks at blood and/or scan markers to better understand abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). It may help doctors predict risks and guide follow-up or treatment choices.
This study looks at a specific way to fix an enlarged abdominal aorta using a stent (EVAR) plus an added step to block blood flow into the aneurysm sac. It aims to lower the chance of a “type II endoleak,” where blood can keep leaking into the sac after the repair.
This trial tests adding a pre-emptive coil to block blood vessels that can cause a type 2 endoleak during standard aneurysm repair. The goal is to prevent leaks after the procedure, which may reduce repeat treatments.
This early study tests a new device that lines the aneurysm sac (the outer wall) during standard stent-graft repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm. It aims to see if the lining helps prevent the aneurysm from growing or leaking over time.
This trial compares early surgical repair (using a stent) against regular monitoring for women who have a small abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see which approach leads to better outcomes.
This trial tests a special technology (IOPS) to help guide a tube-like device into the opposite leg during standard aneurysm repair. It may help people with a common type of abdominal aortic aneurysm who are getting a standard treatment.
