Custom stent grafts for aortic aneurysms in high-risk patients
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests custom-fitted stent grafts for patients with aortic aneurysms who are not good candidates for open surgery or standard stent grafts. The grafts are modified by the surgeon during the procedure to match your specific anatomy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have an aortic aneurysm in the abdomen or chest that is large, growing, or causing symptoms.
- You must be considered high risk for open surgery due to age (over 75), health conditions like COPD or heart failure, or past abdominal surgeries or radiation.
- You must not have a standard, FDA-approved stent graft available for your condition.
- You must be 18 or older and willing to follow up for at least 2 years.
- You must not have a life expectancy shorter than 2 years, active infections, or allergies to stent materials.

This study looks at a specialized, customized stent graft to treat certain aneurysms (bulges) of the aorta in people who may be considered frail. It’s meant to see how well the device works and how safely it can be used in patients who fit specific aneurysm patterns.
This study tests a specially customized endovascular (through blood vessels) repair for certain large or fast-growing aneurysms near the kidney area or chest-to-abdomen area. It may help people who are higher risk for open surgery and whose anatomy fits the device.
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 studies different custom and modified stent-grafts (tiny metal-reinforced tubes placed inside the aorta) to repair difficult aortic aneurysms and dissections. It aims to see which approach best fits your aortic shape and helps keep blood flowing safely.
This trial tests a doctor-modified stent-graft to fix an aneurysm in the part of the aorta just below the kidney arteries. It may be an option if standard devices cannot be used or are not available in time.
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.
