The Aptus Endosystems STAPLE International Post-Market Registry is intended to expand the clinical knowledge base by including 'real world' subjects.

All subjects diagnosed with a qualifying AAA suitable for elective endovascular repair, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the registry, are eligible for enrollment and should be offered informed consent to participate.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Fortevo EndograftDevice

    The Fortevo Endograft, Main Body and Iliac Lumen Delivery System are indicated for the endovascular treatments of patients with infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms or aortic-iliac aneurysms having suitable morphology for endovascular repair.

Fortevo EndograftAll subjects diagnosed with a qualifying AAA suitable for elective endovascular repair, who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria for the registry, are eligible for enrollment if treated with the Fortevo Endograft.
Receives: Device: Fortevo Endograft

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Technical Success

    The first primary endpoint is primary technical success. It consists of the following items:

    • Successful arterial access
    • Successful deployment of the Fortevo Endograft with secure proximal and distal fixation
    • Absence of type I or III endoleaks
    • Patent Fortevo Endograft without significant twist, kinking, or obstruction

    Measured: Within 24 hours of the Index procedure

  2. Major Adverse Events (MAE)

    The second primary endpoint is associated with the safety profile of the device, and is defined as the percent of patients experiencing one or more of major adverse events (MAE) within one month of implantation. MAE are defined as any one of the following events:

    • Death
    • Myocardial Infarction
    • Stroke (excludes TIA)
    • Renal failure (excludes renal insufficiency)
    • Respiratory Failure (excludes COPD or pulmonary complications)
    • Paralysis (excludes paraparesis)

    Measured: Within 1-Month of Implantation

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Clinical Success and Safety of the Fortevo Endograft and Heli-FX EndoAnchor System components

    Clinical Success is defined as Successful Deployment of the Fortevo Endograft at the intended location and the absence of:

    • Death as a result of aneurysm-related treatment
    • Type I or III endoleak
    • Fortevo Endograft infection
    • Fortevo Endograft thrombosis
    • Fortevo Endograft dilatation by 20% or more in diameter
    • Fortevo Endograft migration by 10mm or more at the proximal neck at 6-M and 12-M
    • Loss of Fortevo Endograft or Heli-FX EndoAnchor System integrity
    • Aneurysm expansion by 5mm (or more) in maximal diameter at 6-M and 12-M
    • Aneurysm rupture
    • Conversion to open repair

    Measured: 1-Month, 6-Months and 12-Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal and Aorto Iliac Aneurysm, run by Medtronic Cardiovascular at 9 sites in 6 countries.

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 13 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 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 9 sites in Germany, Spain, Canada, Greece, Italy and 1 more country. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Medtronic terminated the study since Foretevo product was no longer marketed). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

Technical Success (time frame: Within 24 hours of the Index procedure). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01276249, which also lists 2 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 2 Nov 2021.
