Stent repair for abdominal aortic aneurysm with extra sac blockage
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your aneurysm is in the lower part of the abdomen (infrarenal AAA) and is at least 50 mm at its widest point on CT scan.
- Your doctor plans to use EVAR that matches what the study device instructions allow (company IFU).
- Your CT scan shows you are at higher risk for type II endoleak (either many small connecting blood vessels, or not much clot in the aneurysm).
- You are able and willing to follow all follow-up visits and scans; you can give consent and are not pregnant.

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 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 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 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.
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 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.
