Aortic repair study using less radiation
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are scheduled for a specific type of aortic repair that involves arteries to the liver, spleen, gut and kidneys (celiac trunk, superior mesenteric artery and renal arteries).
- You are at least 18 years old and can give informed consent.
- Your doctor expects you to live at least 2 more years.
- The repair will include the main blood vessels to the liver, gut and kidneys, and no more than 4 target vessels total.
- You are not being treated for an emergency (within 24 hours of symptoms), and you do not have a connective tissue disorder like Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

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.
This study uses your detailed CT scan to create a personalized computer plan for placing a stent inside your enlarged aorta (an abdominal aortic aneurysm). It may help doctors choose the best stent approach for your anatomy during endovascular repair.
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 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 studies an endovascular (through blood vessels) repair technique for an unruptured enlarged artery in the belly called an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). It may help doctors compare outcomes using a randomized approach and structured follow-up.
