Preventive sac sealing during AAA stent placement
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether sealing the “sac” of an abdominal aortic aneurysm during a standard stent procedure can prevent future problems. It may help some people by reducing leakage after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are over 18 years old
- Your abdominal aortic aneurysm is about 55 mm if you are male, or 50 mm if you are female
- You are scheduled and suitable to have EVAR (a stent placed through blood vessels)
- Your aneurysm is not ruptured (not an emergency bleeding aneurysm)
- You are willing to join the study

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 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.
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 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 study compares two ways to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the lower part of the aorta). It looks at whether the newer approach works as well as standard EVAR in people whose aneurysm has a wider neck that may be harder to treat.
This trial tests a new device called Aortoseal™ that is used during a stent-graft procedure to help secure the graft to the artery wall. It may improve the seal and help prevent the graft from slipping.
