About this study

Official title: A Target Trial Emulation for Efficacy and Safety of Antiplatelet Therapy After Endovascular Aortic Repair

This study was a target trial emulation using the National Health Claims database established by the Korean National Health Insurance Service (K-NHIS). 8,325 patients were included.

Read the detailed description

Among these patients, any patients who were prescribed SAPT or DAPT at the date of discharge from the index hospitalization for standard EVAR were defined as being in the SAPT group (N=4,162) and the DAPT group (N=4,163), respectively.

  2. Major or clinically relevant non-major bleeding

    Diagnostic codes in the primary or secondary position and transfusion receipt

    Measured: 1 year after EVAR

  3. Re-intervention or surgery for AAAs

    Re-intervention or surgery for AAAs

    Measured: 1 year after EVAR

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA) and Endovascular Aneurysm Repair (EVAR), run by Samsung Medical Center.

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 7 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 14 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) (time frame: 1 year after EVAR). The study lists 3 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 NCT06876727, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 Mar 2025.
