About this study

Official title: Post-operative CT Follow up Measurement After Nellix Endoprosthesis Implantation in Patients With Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms.

Multicenter retrospective CT follow up after aortic aneurysm repair using Nellix Endoprosthesis.

Read the detailed description

Rationale:

In patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms the Nellix Endoprosthesis aims to reduce post-operative complications and subsequent re-intervention rates. Using two stents covered with two polymer filled endobags used for sealing and excluding the aneurysm sac. Preliminary results show promising results in reducing these complications. The new endoprosthesis is not only different in treatment but also in follow up imaging. To date it is unknown how the stent, polymer filled endobags and aneurysm appear in CT imaging in short and long term follow up.

Objective:

To assess and describe the normal computed tomography (CT) appearance at 30 days and 1 year after implantation of the Nellix Endoprosthesis.

Study population:

Approximately a total of 100 patients who underwent endovascular aneurysm repair using Nellix endoprosthesis in three different hospitals. The population is comprised of approximately fifty patients from Rijnstate Ziekenhuis Arnhem and twenty-five each from St. Antonius Nieuwegein and St. Elisabeth Tilburg.

Design and methods:

The study is designed as a multicenter retrospective cohort. Using CT-scans from regular follow up dates (30 days and 1 year) imaging will be retrospectively assessed using medical imaging software. Main study endpoints are defined as followed:

  1. Changes in the infrarenal neck morphology (below the renal arteries)
  2. Changes in the thrombus in the aneurysm sac
  3. Changes in the aneurysm wall and geometry
  4. Changes in the cobalt-chromium stent and their lumen
  5. Changes in the polymer-filled endobags Using anonymous patient data a database will be created an securely stored. Patient consent for study participation will be attained before accessing patient files.

Nature and extent of the burden and risk associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness:

The study will not bring an extra burden or risk for patients participating. Patients are encouraged to participate to improve insight for patients with the same disease and might improve health care in the future for this group of patients.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Endovascular Aortic Repair, run by Rijnstate Hospital.

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 1 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 15 Jul 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Changes in the infrarenal neck morphology (below the renal arteries) (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 5 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 15 Jul 2016.
