Comparing two ways to guide a wire in standard aortic aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new technology that may help doctors place a guide wire more easily during a standard procedure to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulging, weakened area in the main artery in the belly). It aims to see if this technology makes the procedure safer or more effective for patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 40 years old or older.
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is not causing symptoms and has not ruptured.
- Your aneurysm is located below the kidneys (infrarenal) and is suitable for standard EVAR (a minimally invasive repair using a stent-graft).
- You are not pregnant.
- You have not had a dissection (a tear in the artery wall), a connective tissue disorder, an infected aneurysm, or an aneurysm caused by injury.
- You are not scheduled for open surgery or a more complex endovascular procedure (like fenestrated or branched EVAR).

This study looks at how the heart and large arteries change after endovascular repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in your belly). It may help doctors understand if the repair improves heart function and vessel stiffness over time.
This study compares two approaches for women with small abdominal aortic aneurysms: repairing it early with a minimally invasive procedure (EVAR) versus monitoring it with regular scans. The goal is to find out which approach leads to better outcomes and quality of life.
This trial tests a new device (Nectero EAST) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms without major surgery. It may be an option for people with a medium-size aneurysm who have not had prior repair.
This study compares two commercially used stent graft devices to treat an enlarged abdominal aorta (AAA). It aims to see which device works better and is safer over follow-up visits.
This trial is testing whether adding a step that blocks blood flow into the aneurysm sac during the standard EVAR repair helps prevent complications later. The goal is to make the repair more durable and reduce the need for repeat procedures.
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.
