NCT ID NCT02050113
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is testing whether custom-made or physician-modified stent grafts can safely repair complex aortic aneurysms in people who cannot use standard devices or undergo open surgery. The grafts are tailored to each patient's anatomy, with small holes to keep blood flowing to vital organs. The trial includes 600 participants with various aneurysm types and connective tissue disorders like Marfan syndrome.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Custom-made or physician-modified stent grafts (devices placed in blood vessels to repair aneurysms)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could offer a safer, less invasive treatment option for people with complex aortic aneurysms who cannot have standard surgery or commercial grafts.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage study with no control group, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include serious complications like stroke, paralysis, or bleeding.
