Study of a synthetic blood vessel for arm or leg injury in teens
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a man-made blood vessel called SYMVESS to repair a serious injury to an artery in the arm or leg. It is for teenagers whose own veins cannot be used, and the goal is to save the limb.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (the patient) must be 17 years old or younger and have reached adult sexual maturity, as determined by the doctor.
- You must have a serious injury to an artery in your arm or leg that needs urgent repair to prevent loss of the limb.
- The damaged part of the artery must be 38 cm or shorter and match the size of the 6 mm SYMVESS graft.
- Your own vein cannot be used for the repair, either because it is not available or because the situation is too urgent.
- You and your parent or legal guardian must agree to the study and be willing to attend all required visits.

This study tests a new synthetic blood vessel called Symvess to restore blood flow after a serious arm or leg injury. It aims to see how well it works in real-life situations and if it is safe for patients.
This trial is looking at ways to treat blood vessel injuries in children caused by accidents or trauma. If your child has a vascular injury from an accident, this study may help find the best treatment.
This trial studies whether a newer “tissue-engineered” blood vessel graft is safe and works well in children who need a specific heart surgery connection outside the heart. It may help by offering a new type of graft, but your team will screen for size and medical factors first.
This trial tests a lab-made blood vessel (called an ATEV) used as a bypass graft during heart surgery. The ATEV is designed for people who don't have enough healthy leg vein for standard bypass grafts, and it may help restore blood flow to the heart more safely.
This trial studies a new stent-like vascular scaffold to improve blood flow in people with symptomatic blockage in the thigh/knee artery. It may help reduce symptoms from narrowed or blocked arteries, but you must meet several artery and health requirements.
This trial tests a new synthetic blood vessel graft that connects an artery to a vein in your arm to create a reliable spot for dialysis. It's for people with kidney failure who need long-term dialysis but can't have the usual fistula made from their own blood vessels.
