Custom stent-graft for large chest and belly aneurysms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a special stent-graft, custom-shaped by your doctor to fit your aneurysm while keeping blood flow to important organs like your kidneys and stomach. It's for people with large aneurysms in the chest and belly who cannot safely have open surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years old or older.
- You have an aneurysm in your chest and/or belly aorta that is large enough (at least 5.5 cm in belly or 6.0 cm in chest) or at high risk of tearing.
- Your doctor says you are at high risk for traditional open surgery to fix the aneurysm.
- You are willing to be in the study for 5 years and follow the check-up schedule.
- You do not have certain serious health conditions (like an unstable heart condition, blood clotting issues, or recent major surgery) that would make the procedure unsafe.

This trial tests a custom-made stent graft (a tube that reinforces the aorta from inside) for patients with large aortic aneurysms who may be too sick for traditional open surgery. The goal is to prevent rupture and complications while avoiding major surgery.
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 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.
This study tests a doctor-modified stent graft to treat a type of abdominal aortic aneurysm (just above the kidneys). It may be an option if your aneurysm is large, growing, or causing symptoms, and standard devices aren't suitable.
This trial tests whether a specially built stent-graft made for your anatomy can be done safely and effectively for complex aortic disease. It may help people who are too risky for open surgery or who cannot wait for a standard custom device to be made.
This trial tests a custom-made stent graft (a mesh tube placed inside the aorta) for people with a large, dangerous enlargement of the aorta that needs multiple branch vessels connected. It may help high-surgical-risk patients avoid open surgery, but it’s only for those who can’t use standard FDA-approved endovascular grafts.
