Summary

This trial will test whether endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aneurysms improves visceral function.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with rapidly growing thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, measuring at least 5cm or twice the normal diameter. Candidates must have anatomy suitable for Zenith® p-Branch™ or similar endovascular grafts and be willing to follow the study's schedule. Exclusions include severe contrast allergies, ruptured aneurysms with hypotension, incompatible vessel anatomy, and certain material sensitivities.
What is being tested?
The study tests how well kidneys and abdominal organs function after repairing thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms using branched stent grafts like Zenith® p-Branch™. It aims to assess risks of rupture and suitability of patients' anatomies for this minimally invasive procedure.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to materials in the stent graft (stainless steel, nitinol), complications from the procedure such as bleeding or infection, kidney damage due to contrast used during imaging studies, and general risks associated with endovascular surgeries.
