What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Endurant Chimney Graft TechniqueDevice
Medtronic Endurant II and Endurant IIs Stent Graft Systems and balloon-expandable covered stent graft systems approved for use in the renal arteries. These devices will be utilized in a chimney graft configuration.
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

- All-cause mortality
- Bowel ischemia
- Myocardial infarction
- Paraplegia
- Procedural blood loss ≥1000 cc
- Renal failure
- Respiratory failure
- Stroke
Measured: through 30 days post-index procedure
The primary performance endpoint is defined as the proportion of subjects who have technical success at the time of the index procedure and are free from secondary interventions through 365 days.
Measured: Index procedure and through 365 days
Secondary outcomes (4)
Clinical Succes

Measured: Index procedure and within 30-days post-index procedure
Secondary safety endpoints

- Conversion to open surgery
- Aneurysm related mortality
- All-cause mortality
- MAEs through 365 days
Measured: through 30 days and annually up to 5 year follow up
Secondary imaging based endpoints

- Stent graft occlusion (endograft, chimney graft)
- Endoleak of all types
- Stent graft migration >10 mm (endograft)
- Aneurysm sac expansion ≥ 5 mm
Measured: at 30 days and at annual follow-up until 60 months post-index procedure
Change in renal function
Change in renal function compared to baseline
Measured: at 30 days and at annual follow-up until 60 months post-index procedure

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
An observational study of AAA - Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by Medtronic Cardiovascular at 26 sites in 13 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 6 inclusion and 14 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 26 sites in Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, France and 8 more countries. 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Primary safety endpoint evaluated by proportion of subjects experiencing a Major Adverse Event through 30 days post-index procedure (time frame: through 30 days post-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?
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 Jun 2026.
