Early repair vs. monitoring for women with small abdominal aortic aneurysm
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are female and at least 50 years old.
- You have a small abdominal aortic aneurysm (4.0 to 5.4 cm in size).
- Your aneurysm is in a location suitable for a specific type of stent repair (called EVAR).
- You are not too frail (scoring less than 7 on the Rockwood frailty scale).
- You have not had previous abdominal aortic surgery.

This trial is testing whether some EVAR (aneurysm repair) procedures can be done safely without a special blood pressure monitor called an arterial line. It includes standard cases and excludes people with certain heart conditions, high blood pressure, or complex artery problems.
This study looks at how the heart and large arteries change after endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in your belly). It may help doctors understand if the repair improves heart function and vessel stiffness over time.
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 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.
This trial tests a new device (Nectero EAST) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms without major surgery. It may be an option for people with a medium-size aneurysm who have not had prior 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.
