Using ultrasound to treat belly artery aneurysms
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests a way to stop blood flow to an aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel) in your belly using a special ultrasound and a tiny injection. It may be an option if you can't have the usual treatment through an artery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have an aneurysm (a bulging blood vessel) in your belly that was seen on a CT, MRI, or special ultrasound.
- Your aneurysm causes symptoms like belly pain, or it is large, growing, or located in a spot that needs treatment — or you are a woman of childbearing age.
- You cannot have standard treatment through an artery because you are allergic to the dye or pregnant.
- You are healthy enough to have an endoscopic procedure, and your blood clotting and platelets are in good shape.
- You have not had prior treatment for this aneurysm.

This study tests a doctor's technique that uses ultrasound to guide pressing on the main belly artery (aorta) to stop blood flow there temporarily. It's done in healthy people to see if the technique is safe and works as expected, which could one day help in emergencies.
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 a new way to treat bleeding varicose veins in the stomach by using endoscopic ultrasound to guide the procedure, for people with liver cirrhosis. It aims to improve how this bleeding is managed.
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 study compares two ways to stop bleeding from enlarged veins in the stomach (called gastric varices). One uses a type of medical glue, the other uses a sponge-like material, both applied during an endoscopic procedure. The goal is to prevent future bleeding and improve outcomes.
