What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study is a large registry that collects safety and performance data on Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts and cardiovascular patches used in standard clinical practice. It will include about 2,000 patients who need these devices to repair or bypass damaged blood vessels, such as those with aneurysms or dissections. The goal is to track outcomes like operative death, graft leakage, and the need for reintervention to better understand how these devices perform in real-world settings.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts, and cardiovascular patches (devices used to repair or bypass damaged blood vessels)
What this could lead to
If successful, this registry could provide real-world evidence on the safety and performance of these vascular devices, helping guide future treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.
What could go wrong
As an observational registry, it cannot prove cause and effect. Results may be affected by variations in patient care and reporting across centers, and the devices are already on the market, so no new treatment is being tested.
