Trial summary

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life threatening condition. If the aneurysm ruptures, the mortality can be as high as 80%. Endovascular aneurysms repair (EVAR) is a minimal invasive procedure and has been widely used on treating AAA. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Image Fusion of Pre-procedural CTA With Real-time Fluoroscopy to Guide Proper Renal and Visceral Arteries Catheterization During Advanced Endovascular Aortic Aneurysms Repair: A Feasibility Study

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life threatening condition. If the aneurysm ruptures, the mortality can be as high as 80%. Endovascular aneurysms repair (EVAR) is a minimal invasive procedure and has been widely used on treating AAA. Advanced endovascular techniques are used to treat patients with more complex pathology by using custom-made devices and additional stents. In order to accomplish the technical success on advanced EVAR, with the current imaging equipment and technique for EVAR procedures (i.e. live x-ray fluoroscopy and 2-D digital subtraction angiography (DSA)), multiple angiograms on the target arteries (arteriograms) are required. Subsequently patients are exposed to higher dose of contrast and radiation, compared to conventional EVAR. This study is to assess the feasibility of proper visceral and renal arteries catheterization using a 3D model obtained from pre-procedural computed tomographic angiography (CTA), fused with real-time fluoroscopy, without contrast injection or angiographic run-offs thus minimizing the contrast use and patient radiation exposure while achieving procedure success during Advanced EVAR.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Using pre-procedural CTA to guide advanced EVAR procedure in people with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA), run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 2 inclusion and 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Nov 2014. 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 Canada. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Kong Teng Tan, MD (416-340-4800 ext. 6166, kongteng.tan@uhn.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Procedure success (time frame: within 1 day). 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 20 Nov 2014.
