Trial summary

Total endovascular repair of the aortic arch represents a promising option for patients ineligible to open surgery. Custom-made design of stent-grafts (SG), such as the Terumo Aortic® RelayBranch device (DB), requires complex preoperative measures. Read more about this study

About this study

Total endovascular repair of the aortic arch represents a promising option for patients ineligible to open surgery. Custom-made design of stent-grafts (SG), such as the Terumo Aortic® RelayBranch device (DB), requires complex preoperative measures. Accurate SG deployment is required to avoid intraoperative or postoperative complications, which is extremely challenging in the aortic arch. In that context, the investigators aim is to develop a computational tool able to predict SG deployment in such highly complex situations. Four patient-specific cases will be performed with complete deployment of the DB and its bridging stents in aneurysmal aortic arch. Deviations of simulation predictions from actual stent positions will be estimated based on post-operative scan and a sensitivity analysis will be performed to assess the effects of material parameters. If good agreement between simulation and reality is obtained, numerical simulations will show their ability to successfully predict the DB deployment in complex anatomy. The results will emphasize the potential of computational simulations to assist practitioners in planning and performing complex and secure interventions.

Read the detailed description

The process of numerical simulation of double-branched device in aortic arch aneurysm involves: (i) aortic arch segmentation with data from the preoperative CT-scan (ii) numerical modeling of the actual stentgraft used to treat the patient (iii) simulation of stentgraft deployment in aortic arch (iv) validation of simulation results based on post-operative CT scan images The goal of this study is to develop a numerical model of stentgraft deployment able to predict the actual deployement of the double branched device in aortic arch aneurysm.

What is being measured

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

  1. In vitro versus stimulation test

    To compare Vascutek in vitro validation test to the simulation of this test, the proportion of fLenestrations where |L3 - L2| and |C3 - C2| are less or equal to 2.5mm will be analysed.

    L3=distal edge of celiac trunk (L) after first simulation, stent-graft deployment in rigid aorta L2=distal edge of celiac trunk (L) after final custom stent-graft design, after in vitro tests

    Measured: Day 0

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Arch Aneurysm, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne at 2 sites in 2 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 18 Nov 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in France, Netherlands. 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?

In vitro versus stimulation test (time frame: Day 0). 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 NCT04244188, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 18 Nov 2023.
