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 study tests whether a surgeon-customized stent graft is safe and effective for treating complex, high-risk or hard-to-repair aortic aneurysms. It may help people who are at higher risk for open surgery or have aneurysms that previous treatments could not fully fix.
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 trial tests a specific bridging stent graft used with a main stent graft to treat complex abdominal aortic aneurysms. It may help if you need a stent to keep blood flowing to your kidneys or other organs during aneurysm repair.
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 trial tests two ways to create a new opening (fenestration) in a stent graft so blood can still flow to your left arm when the main artery in your chest needs repair. It is for people with aortic disease that affects the area near the left subclavian artery.
