Trial summary

Aneurysm diameter is an important risk for rupture and related death in affected patients. This study will evaluate whether aneurysms size may even influence post procedural outcomes both in open surgical repair and in end-vascular aneurysm repair. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Correlation Between the Diameter of the Infrarenal Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms Treated With Open or Endovascular Surgical and the Post-procedural Outcomes.

Aneurysm diameter is an important risk for rupture and related death in affected patients.

This study will evaluate whether aneurysms size may even influence post procedural outcomes both in open surgical repair and in end-vascular aneurysm repair.

We will retrospectively review clinical data of operated patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm. We will consider both open surgical repair and endovascular aneurysm repair procedures in order to assess the influence of aneurysm size at the time of intervention.

Read the detailed description

Since the publication by Szilagyi et al, size of aneurysms has been recognized as the predominant risk factor for rupture. In fact, a low risk is associated with small aneurysms, an intermediate risk with medium-sized aneurysms, and dramatically an increased risk with large aneurysms. Current guidelines suggest that the threshold diameter for aneurysm surgery being 5.5 cm for male patients and 5.0 cm for female patients, as measured on the largest section of the aneurysm.

The correlation aneurysm diameter may also have an impact on early and late postoperative outcomes both for open surgery and endovascular surgery. The study by Peppelenbosch N et al. showed that size differences were strongly associated with adverse outcomes during follow-up of patients that underwent endovascular aneurysm repair.

The aim of this is to assess the influence of aneurysm size on the early and late outcomes of open surgical repair (OSR) and endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).

Preoperative patient characteristics, comorbid conditions, aneurysm anatomy and diameters will be retrospectively reviewed in order to correlate with the results of the procedures (OSR and EVAR) and with adverse outcome that may have been occurred during follow up.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Open Surgery Repair GroupIn the open surgery repair group, preoperative patient characteristics, comorbid conditions, aneurysm anatomy and diameters will be matched with outcomes and complications, in the postoperative period, during follow up.
Receives: Procedure: Open Surgery
Endovascular Repair GroupIn the endovascular surgery repair group, preoperative patient characteristics, comorbid conditions, aneurysm anatomy and diameters will be matched with outcomes and complications in the postoperative period, during follow up.
Receives: Procedure: Endovascular Surgery

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation between Aneurysm Diameter and Open Surgery Outcome

    We will correlate outcomes and complications with preoperative aneurysm size.

    Measured: 5 years of follow up

  2. Correlation between Aneurysm Diameter and Endovascular Repair

    We will correlate outcomes and complications with preoperative aneurysm size.

    Measured: 5 years of follow up

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm and Surgery, run by University of Catanzaro at 1 site in Italy.

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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jun 2020. 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 Italy. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Contact Raffaele Serra, M.D., Ph.D. (+3909613647380, rserra@unicz.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Correlation between Aneurysm Diameter and Open Surgery Outcome (time frame: 5 years of follow up). 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 NCT04422054, which also lists 3 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?
