About this study

Official title: Medical and Economical Evaluation of Endovascular Therapy of Complex Aortic Aneurysms (Para- & Supra- Renal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms, Type 4 THORACO-Abdominal Aneurysms) by Fenestrated & Branched Stent-grafts

The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the perioperative mortality severe morbidity and the costs of endovascular versus conventional surgical repair of pararenal, supra-renal and type 4 THORACO-abdominal aortic aneurysms.

The primary goal of the study is to demonstrate a significant drop in 30-day mortality and life threatening morbidity in the endovascular arm of the study. Our hypothesis, derived from the literature, that the average 30-days mortality is 3% after endovascular repair and 10% after open surgery justifies the design of a prospective study between endovascular therapy (250 patients (amendment) treated in 8 University hospitals with significant experience of the technique) and open repair (660 similar patients analyzed form the national database of the MOH).

The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the perioperative mortality severe morbidity and the costs of endovascular versus conventional surgical repair of pararenal, supra-renal and type 4 THORACO-abdominal aortic aneurysms.

The primary goal of the study is to demonstrate a significant drop in 30-day mortality and life threatening morbidity in the endovascular arm of the study. Our hypothesis, derived from the literature, that the average 30-days mortality is 3% after endovascular repair and 10% after open surgery justifies the design of a prospective study between endovascular therapy (250 patients (amendment) treated in 8 University hospitals with significant experience of the technique) and open repair (660 similar patients analyzed form the national database of the MOH).

In-hospital morbidity are similarly expected to be lower in the endovascular group. We also wish to demonstrate that endovascular repair does not represent a significant over-cost, as compared to open repair. The cost of the implantable medical device (IMD), of follow-up screening, and of eventual repeated interventions should be compensated by a reduced stay in intensive care unit ICU, and by a reduced in-hospital length of stay.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Aneurysms, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 3 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 19 Oct 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

30-day postoperative mortality (time frame: 30-day postoperative). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01168037, which also lists 4 linked publications.

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 19 Oct 2017.
