Measuring heart and breathing effects on abdominal aneurysm repair
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how your heartbeat and breathing affect the shape of an abdominal aortic aneurysm before and after treatment with a special stent. It may help doctors plan better treatments for people with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an abdominal aortic aneurysm that is not causing symptoms.
- You are older than 65 years.
- Your doctor has already decided that you need treatment for the aneurysm.
- Your aneurysm is shaped in a way that allows the use of a special stent called Treo.
- You have at least one kidney artery and one other artery in the belly that can be stented.
- You can hold your breath for 10 seconds.

This study uses a hand/eye pressure test (tonometry) and an ultrasound scan (duplex ultrasound) to see if they can predict future heart or blood vessel events in people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) who are planning elective surgery. It may help doctors choose the safest follow-up and treatments for you after repair.
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 uses special imaging to better measure how the aorta wall behaves in people with an enlarged aorta (an aneurysm) and in some people without an aneurysm. Results may help doctors understand aneurysm risk and plan care more precisely.
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 tests a special stent graft (a fabric tube placed inside the artery) that has openings (fenestrations) to fit around other blood vessels. It is for people with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who need a custom-fit repair to keep blood flow normal.
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.
