Trial summary

andated when the risk of rupture is low and interventional treatment is offered to patients at high risk of rupture. Rupture risk is driven by aneurysm diameter and growth rate. Aneurysms with diameter greater than 55 mm and/or growth rate greater than 1 cm per year are at high risk of rupture. Read more about this study

About this study

andated when the risk of rupture is low and interventional treatment is offered to patients at high risk of rupture. Rupture risk is driven by aneurysm diameter and growth rate. Aneurysms with diameter greater than 55 mm and/or growth rate greater than 1 cm per year are at high risk of rupture. Open surgery and endovascular treatment are the two types of interventions. Open repair consists in replacing the aneurysmal part of the aorta using a synthetic fabric prosthesis after the abdomen has been opened and the aorta clamped. This invasive procedure is associated with a 3-10% post-operative mortality. Endovascular repair (EVAR) consists in excluding the aneurysm sac by inserting a self-expanding prosthesis (called stent-graft) through very small groin incisions, without abdominal opening nor aortic clamping. This minimally invasive procedure is associated with a significantly reduced post-operative mortality (around 1%) . However, hostile proximal neck anatomy including high angulation is associated with higher rates of type IA endoleak, reintervention and long-term mortality . For this reason, a conformable design of the Excluder stent-graft has been engineered with initial satisfactory results in patients with highly angulated or short necks . However, these satisfactory results have been obtained in carefully selected patients from experienced centers and a tool demonstrating adequate apposition of the Gore ACS is lacking. Study Device Description Numerical simulation has been used successfully to predict stent-graft behavior during FEVAR . Preliminary studies have also demonstrated to applicability of the technology to standard infrarenal devices , including in the setting of very tortuous anatomies9 . The potential of numerical simulation to predict stent-graft apposition of Gore ACS in highly angulated necks appears very promising to enhance patient selection.

What is being measured

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

  1. The aim of the present study is to investigate the accuracy of numerical simulation to predict stent-graft apposition of Gore ACS in highly angulated proximal AAA necks.

    Quantitative neck apposition parameters (including but not limited to malapposition length, width, angle) will be extracted both from numerical simulation and post-operative CT.

    Quantitative values will then be compared Comparison between quantitative neck apposition parameters (malapposition length, width, angle) derived from simulation and the one observed on post-op CT and/ or follow-up CT

    Measured: up to 16 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Vascular Diseases and Surgery, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 4 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 24 May 2024. 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 France. 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?

The aim of the present study is to investigate the accuracy of numerical simulation to predict stent-graft apposition of Gore ACS in highly angulated proximal AAA necks. (time frame: up to 16 months). 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 24 May 2024.
