Summary
This trial is looking at whether branched and fenestrated-branched stent grafts are safe and effective for treating patients with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms. The study will enroll patients consecutively and compare outcomes between different types of stent grafts.
See full description
Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms needing branch vessel preservation, who are not pregnant and have a life expectancy over 1 year. Candidates must be at high risk for open surgery due to other health issues and agree to follow-up exams. Exclusions include active infections, certain allergies, unmanageable contrast media hypersensitivity, unstable angina, or participation in another trial.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The safety and effectiveness of Cook Medical's branched and fenestrated-branched endovascular stent grafts for preserving vital arteries in patients with thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysms are being tested. This non-randomized study involves off-the-shelf and custom-made devices.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to the device such as movement after placement, blockage of blood flow through the graft or branches leading to organ damage or loss of limb function; infection; allergic reactions; bleeding; or clotting.
