About this study

Official title: Guo's Renovisceral Artery Reconstruction-1: a Prospective, Multicenter, Single-arm Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of a Multi-branched Stent Graft System for Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysm (GUARANTEE Study)

Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of a multi-branched thoracoabdominal stent graft system for thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm.

Read the detailed description

The study is mainly for patients with thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms, and all subjects who signed the informed consent and passed the screening will be enrolled. Patients who meet all the inclusion criteria and don't meet the exclusion criteria will be implanted with multi-branched thoracoabdominal stent graft system. Patients will be followed up at discharge, 1 month, 6 months, 12 months after the implantation.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary safety endpoint: The incidence of Major Adverse events (MAE) within 30 days after procedure.

    Major Adverse Event (MAE) was defined as all-cause death, liver failure, intestinal necrosis, kidney failure, stroke, permanent paraplegia, myocardial infarction, and respiratory failure.

    Measured: Within 30 days after procedure

  2. Primary efficacy endpoint: Success rate of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm treatment 12 months after procedure.

    Successful treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm is a composite index that needs to meet the following indicators at the same time: Immediate technical success (immediate technical success refers to the successful delivery system to a predetermined location, the successful deployment of the system and the safe withdrawal of the delivery system from the body and no type I/III endoleak), no secondary surgical intervention related to thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms 12 months after procedure (due to aneurysm rupture, continuous enlargement, stent displacement, type I/III endoleak, branch stenosis/ Second surgery caused by occlusion) .

    Measured: 12 months after procedure.

Secondary outcomes (10)
  1. aneurysmal enlargement at 6 and 12 months postoperatively

    aneurysmal enlargement defined as a maximum aortic diameter increase of > 5 mm relative to preoperative computed tomography angiography (CTA)

    Measured: 6 and 12 months postoperatively

  2. type I/III endoleak at 6 and 12 months postoperatively

    Measured: 6 and 12 months postoperatively

  3. stent graft migration at 6 and 12 months postoperatively

    Measured: 6 and 12 months postoperatively

  4. renovisceral artery patency rate at 6 and 12 months postoperatively

    Measured: 6 and 12 months postoperatively

  5. reintervention secondary to TAAA progression at 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively.

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively.

  6. delivery system-related complications during the procedure and within 30 days postoperatively, including conversion to open surgery, and any hemorrhage, hematoma, or pseudoaneurysm of the arterial access

    Measured: during the procedure and within 30 days postoperatively

  7. all-cause mortality at 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

  8. TAAA-related mortality at 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

  9. device-related adverse events at 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

  10. severe adverse events resulting in death or serious deterioration of health at 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively

    Measured: 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively
