Summary
This trial is testing a new operation to fix aortic aneurysms that involves placing a stent-graft over the aneurysm.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with aortic arch aneurysms larger than 6cm, symptomatic of any size, or at high risk of rupture. Candidates must be able to consent and follow the study plan, have a life expectancy over 2 years, and not suitable for open repair surgery due to high mortality risk.
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of using an endovascular bifurcated stent-graft to treat aortic arch aneurysms. The procedure involves placing this special tube inside the artery without open surgery.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include complications related to the device like movement after placement, blockage or infection; reactions from contrast material used during implantation; and general risks associated with minimally invasive procedures.
