NCT ID NCT02089607
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is testing a special stent-graft device to repair complex aneurysms in the aorta, the body's main artery. The device is inserted through leg arteries, avoiding open surgery. Researchers will track safety, survival, and quality of life in 760 people over time. The goal is to see if this approach is a safe and effective option for these high-risk patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Zenith Fenestrated-Branched Stent-Graft System
What this could lead to
If successful, this could provide a less invasive way to repair dangerous aortic aneurysms, potentially reducing recovery time and complications compared to open surgery.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a randomized trial, so results may not prove the device is better than other treatments. Risks include serious events like stroke, heart attack, or kidney failure.
