What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Effectiveness: Composite Success Rate
Composite endpoint of delivery success, absence of Type I/III endoleak requiring intervention post-index procedure, absence of migration (>10mm), and absence of aneurysm rupture or conversion.This composite endpoint is compared to an estimated success rate of 80%.
Measured: 12 months
Safety: MAE (Major Adverse Event)
Percentage (number) of subjects experiencing one or more of major adverse events within the first 30 days post-index procedure compared to the open surgical repair historical group
Measured: 30 days
Secondary outcomes (8)
Safety: SAE (Serious Adverse Event)
Percent (number) of subjects experiencing one or more serious adverse event through 5 years post-index procedure
Measured: 5 years
Effectiveness: Surgical Conversion
Percent (number) of subjects undergoing surgical conversion through 12 months post-index procedure.
Conversion is defined as the patient undergoing open surgical aneurysm repair with partial or complete removal of the study device.
Measured: 12 months
Effectiveness: Aneurysm Rupture
Percent (number) of subjects experiencing aneurysm rupture through 12 months post-index procedure
Measured: 12 months
Effectiveness: Aneurysm Change
Percent (number) of subjets experiencing aneurysm change (defined as increase in maximum diameter of >5mm) at 12 months post-index procedure
Measured: 12 months
Effectiveness: EndoStaple Stent/Fracture
Percent (number) of subjects experiencing an EndoStaple stent/fracture at 12 months post-index procedure
Measured: 12 months
Effectiveness: Prosthesis Migration
Percent (number) of subjects experiencing prothesis migration at 12 months post-index procedure
Measured: 12 months
Effectiveness: Type I Endoleak and Type III Endoleak
Percent (number) of subjects experiencing type I endoleak (inadequate or ineffective seal of graft) or III endoleak (inadequate seal of graft joints or graft rupture) requiring intervention through 12 months post-index procedure
Measured: 12 months

Percent (number) of subjects experiencing thrombosis through 5 years post-index procedure
Measured: 5 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Aptus Endovascular AAA Repair System in people with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA), run by Medtronic Cardiovascular at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Nov 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 May 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Effectiveness: Composite Success Rate (time frame: 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 3 Nov 2021.
