Preventing leaks with coils before standard aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests whether adding small metal coils (coil embolization) before the standard stent-graft procedure (EVAR) can prevent a common leak (type 2 endoleak) after repair. It may help reduce the need for follow-up procedures for people with large abdominal aortic aneurysms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your abdominal aortic aneurysm is large enough that repair is recommended.
- You are considered at high risk for a type 2 endoleak (a leak that can happen after stent-graft repair).
- You are a candidate for standard EVAR (a minimally invasive stent-graft procedure).
- You have no medical reasons that prevent you from having EVAR.
- Your life expectancy is at least 2 years.

This study compares two ways to treat an abdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the lower part of the aorta). It looks at whether the newer approach works as well as standard EVAR in people whose aneurysm has a wider neck that may be harder to treat.
This trial compares two procedures (ESAR and FEVAR) to repair an abdominal aortic aneurysm in people whose anatomy makes the usual repair hard. It may help find a safer, more durable option for patients with challenging aortic neck features.
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.
This trial tests a new coil system that blocks abnormal connections between arteries and veins (called arteriovenous malformations or fistulas). The coils are placed through a small tube in the blood vessel to stop blood from flowing the wrong way, which may help reduce symptoms and improve blood flow.
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 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.
