New stent graft aims to fix aneurysms without major surgery
NCT ID NCT02692664
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a special stent graft (E-liac) to treat bulges in the iliac artery (aneurysms) without open surgery. 71 patients received the device, sometimes combined with other aortic grafts. The main goal was to prevent aneurysm rupture and death. Researchers tracked success by checking for complications like leaks, blockages, or aneurysm growth over 3 years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- E-liac Stent Graft (a device placed inside blood vessels to repair aneurysms)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this stent graft could offer a less invasive way to treat iliac aneurysms, reducing the need for open surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed registry study (71 patients) without a comparison group. Results may not apply to all patients, and risks like graft blockage or aneurysm growth remain.
