First test of A3-Shield device for belly artery bulge
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a new device called the A3-Shield that is placed inside the belly's main artery to support a bulging area (aneurysm) and keep it from growing or bursting. It may be an option for patients whose aneurysm is large enough but not yet causing symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a bulge (aneurysm) in the main belly artery that is between about 3 and 5 cm wide (slightly smaller for women).
- Your blood vessels in the groin must be wide enough for the delivery tube (14 French).
- You must be able to come back to the hospital for follow-up visits.
- You cannot have a ruptured or painful aneurysm, a weak connective tissue disease, or other serious health problems like recent heart attack or stroke.

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 trial tests a new multibranched stent graft system to treat thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. It may help patients who have an aneurysm that is large, growing quickly, or causing symptoms like pain.
This study is testing a new approach to manage abdominal aortic aneurysms (bulges in the main belly artery). It is for people whose aneurysm is larger than 30 mm but does not have certain rare features that require different care.
This trial tests a specialized stent (a small mesh tube) placed inside the chest and belly aorta to treat a thoracoabdominal aortic dissecting aneurysm. It may help prevent the artery from getting bigger or causing dangerous bleeding by supporting the weakened area from inside.
This trial tests a special stent (a small mesh tube) placed in the artery in your pelvis to help keep blood flowing and prevent the aneurysm from bursting during surgery to fix your belly or pelvic aneurysm. It may help you have a safer repair and a better recovery.
This study tests a special stent-graft, custom-shaped by your doctor to fit your aneurysm while keeping blood flow to important organs like your kidneys and stomach. It's for people with large aneurysms in the chest and belly who cannot safely have open surgery.
