Pre-emptive coil use in aortic repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests adding a pre-emptive coil to block blood vessels that can cause a type 2 endoleak during standard aneurysm repair. The goal is to prevent leaks after the procedure, which may reduce repeat treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a large abdominal aortic aneurysm that needs repair.
- You are at high risk for a type 2 endoleak (a leak that can happen after stent-graft placement).
- You are a good candidate for standard endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR).
- You have a life expectancy of more than 2 years.
- You have no conditions that make EVAR unsafe.
- Your aneurysm size is above the standard repair threshold (usually 5.5 cm for men or 5.0 cm for women).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial looks at adding a protective “fill” during surgery for an aneurysm in the lower part of the aorta, to prevent a specific type of leak called type II. It may help reduce the need for additional follow-up treatments if leaks are less likely to happen.
This study looks at a specific way to fix an enlarged abdominal aorta using a stent (EVAR) plus an added step to block blood flow into the aneurysm sac. It aims to lower the chance of a “type II endoleak,” where blood can keep leaking into the sac after the repair.
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 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 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 study tests two types of coils (i-ED Coil and EDG v4) used to treat arteriovenous malformations (abnormal tangles of blood vessels in the brain). The goal is to see how well they work and if they are safe.
