About this study

Official title: Observational Prospective Study of Individuals with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) to Monitor AAA Growth and Rupture Risk.

The Triple-A Barcelona Study (TABS), is a new hospital-based longitudinal study recruiting consecutive individuals with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) in Barcelona. Individuals that have at least one measurement of the abdominal aortic diameter, either by computed tomography scan or by ultrasound, along with anthropometric, clinical information, and blood samples for most follow-up visits are recruited.

Read the detailed description

The Triple-A Barcelona Study (TABS) is a prospective longitudinal registry started in 2019. All individuals identified incidentally with AAA, defined as those with dilation in infrarenal abdominal aorta with a diameter greater than 30 mm13 that visit the Vascular and Endovascular Surgery Units of Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau and Hospital del Mar (Barcelona, Spain) from 2020 to the present are invited to participate to the project. Patients who did not consent to participation were not considered for enrollment. Upon enrollment, participant's medical history was carefully reviewed, and all previous measures of aortic diameter and available clinical information was included retrospectively in the database. All participants have at least one measurement of the abdominal aortic diameter, either by computed tomography scan (CT-scan) or by ultrasound along with anthropometric and clinical information, and blood samples for most follow-up visits. The first measurement was considered as the baseline. All measurements following the baseline measurement were used until aortic repair or rupture, or death. Individuals that were excluded from surgery after they exceeded the surgical threshold (due to concomitant pathology, AAA anatomy or patient rejection to surgery) were also considered for inclusion, and their retrospective data, if existing, was recorded. All patients were asked for an informed consent to participate in this study, and to be included in a clinical database. Type B dissections that progress to AAA, saccular aneurysms, mycotic aneurysms, visceral aneurysms or thoracic aneurysms were excluded. Aortic diameter was assessed using either ultrasound or CT-scan images.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by Fundació Institut de Recerca de l'Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau at 1 site in Spain.

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 2 inclusion and 5 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2025. 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 Spain. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Maria Sabater-Lleal, PhD (+34932919000 ext. 8167, msabater@santpau.cat), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Abdominal Aortic diameter (time frame: baseline, through study completion (every 2 years on average), pre-surgery). 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 14 Feb 2025.
