Laser fenestration study for aortic aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial studies a new laser technique to repair aortic aneurysms in patients who cannot have standard open surgery. It uses a small laser to create openings in a stent-graft for blood flow to the kidneys and other organs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an aortic aneurysm that is large, growing quickly, or at risk of rupture.
- You are not a good candidate for standard open surgery due to health issues like kidney problems, heart conditions, or obesity.
- Your aneurysm is located in a part of the aorta near the kidneys and other important branch arteries.
- You have not had a previous stent or graft that covers those branch arteries.
- You are willing to travel to the study center and attend all follow-up visits.

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 trial tests a device called Rapidlink that helps repair blood vessels branching off the aorta during open heart surgery. It may be an option if you need open surgery to fix your thoracic aorta.
This study checks how well a specially designed aortic graft (a fenestrated device) works for people with specific types of enlarged or fast-growing aortic aneurysms. It may help confirm whether the device is safe and effective for preventing aneurysm problems.
This study tests a special stent graft (a fabric tube placed inside the artery) that has openings (fenestrations) to fit around other blood vessels. It is for people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who need a custom-fit repair to keep blood flow normal.
This trial compares two procedures (ESAR and FEVAR) to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm in people whose anatomy makes the usual repair hard. It may help find a safer, more durable option for patients with challenging aortic neck features.
This trial tests custom-made and doctor-modified grafts to treat complex bulges in the aorta (the body’s main artery) or the part going into the pelvis. It may help people who cannot use standard approved devices or who need treatment urgently because waiting is unsafe.
