ABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM

This study followed 48 people who received the Nellix system, a device that seals abdominal aortic aneurysms from the inside using stents and polymer-filled bags. Researchers tracked how well the device worked right after the procedure and for up to 5 years. The goal was to see i…

This early feasibility study tested a 3D holographic guidance system to help surgeons place stent grafts during endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) for abdominal aortic aneurysms. Two patients participated, and the system was used alongside standard X-ray imaging to confirm correct…

This study tested a specially designed stent-graft for people with abdominal aortic aneurysms (a bulging blood vessel in the belly) that have a difficult shape near the kidney arteries. Fifty patients received the custom device to see if it could safely seal the aneurysm and keep…

This study tested whether giving vascular surgery patients access to a website with educational videos could reduce their anxiety before the operation. 250 patients were split into two groups: one got the videos, the other did not. Researchers measured anxiety using a simple 0-to…

This completed registry followed 300 patients with abdominal aortic aneurysm who were treated with the Nellix® Endovascular Sealing System across 30 international centers. The goal was to see how well the device performs in everyday medical practice, measuring safety and effectiv…

This study looked at 659 patients who had surgery to fix an abdominal aortic aneurysm. Researchers compared two types of scans—CT and ultrasound—to see which one is better at finding problems like leaks or blockages after the repair. The goal was to find out if ultrasound could b…

This study looked at whether placing a mesh during abdominal aortic aneurysm repair could prevent incisional hernias later. Fifty patients were split into two groups: one got mesh reinforcement, the other standard closure. After follow-up, the mesh did not show a clear benefit in…

This study looked back at 268 people who had a wide-neck abdominal aortic aneurysm repaired with the Endurant stent graft. Researchers checked how many needed additional procedures within one year and up to ten years after surgery. They also tracked any leaks around the graft. Th…

This study involved 30 adults undergoing open surgery on the abdominal aorta. Researchers used cameras and CT scans to measure the working space inside the body during surgery. The goal was to create a mathematical model that links a patient's body shape and incision size to the …
