Synthetic vessel for arm or leg artery injuries in teenagers
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new artificial blood vessel, called SYMVESS, to repair severe arm or leg artery injuries in teenagers. The goal is to restore blood flow and prevent limb loss when using the patient's own vein is not an option.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 17 years old or younger and have reached full physical maturity (Tanner stage 5).
- Have a severe injury to an artery in an arm or leg that requires urgent surgery to prevent losing the limb.
- The damaged part of the artery must be short enough (less than 38 cm) to be replaced with a 6mm SYMVESS tube.
- Using the patient's own vein for the repair must not be possible or advisable.
- The patient and their legal guardian must agree to participate and follow the study plan.

This study tests a new blood vessel replacement (called Symvess) in people who have severe injuries to arteries in their arms or legs. The goal is to see if it works safely in real-life emergency settings.
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 tests a new type of artificial blood vessel (graft) for people who need a bypass or replacement of an artery in the belly, leg, or groin. The goal is to see if it works well to restore blood flow when a person's own vein is not available.
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 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 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.
