Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: We aim to include at least 650 patients in a 3-month period. Follow-up data will be recorded up to 1 year postoperatively. Data verification and analysis will request 2 months after study completion. The overall duration of the study will be 6 months

Who may be able to join

  • Patients affected by a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm who received an open surgical repair (aneurysmectomy and aortic reconstruction with a surgical graft) or endovascular repair (with off-the-shelf or custom-made Fenestrated/Branched-Endovascular Aortic Repair - F/BEVAR) between January 2013 and June 2021 at San Raffaele Hospital (Vascular Surgery Unit)
  • Adult patients ≥18 years
  • The patient is able to understand and sign the informed consent approved by the Ethics Committee of the San Raffaele Hospital

Who cannot join

  • Patients treated with a hybrid approach (open surgical retrograde revascularization of renovisceral arteries followed by aneurysm exclusion with endograft)
  • Patients treated with other endovascular techniques besides fenestrated or branched technology (e.g., physician-modified endografts, parallel grafts).
  • Patients with a juxtarenal or pararenal aortic aneurysm
  • Patients treated with F/BEVAR for a visceral artery patch aneurysm after open thoracoabdominal repair

About this study

Official title: A PROpensity Score Matching Analysis on ENDovascular vs Open Thoraco-Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Repair . A Single-center, Retrospective-prospective, Observational Study/ EUnetHTA Core Model

The purpose of the registry is to compare the surgical and endovascular approaches to the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of the study is to compare the surgical and endovascular approaches to the treatment of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms. In particular, the study aims at comparing the short- and mid-term mortality, morbidity and reintervention rate after open surgery or endovascular repair of thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms in comparable cohorts of patients according to preoperative characteristics and evaluating the cost-effectiveness of both techniques, according to the EUnetHTA core model.

The study results will contribute to the creation of a HTA Report regarding endovascular technology to treat thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysms which will be evaluated by the appropriate Health Authorities.

Being tested
Surgical repair, Endovascular repair

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Thoracoabdominal Aortic Aneurysms, run by IRCCS San Raffaele 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 3 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

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?

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?

free survival (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT05266781, which also lists 4 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Nov 2022.
