Can Real-World data improve vascular surgery outcomes?
NCT ID NCT04545502
First seen Aug 20, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Patients who require treatment, or have already received treatment within the last 5 years, with the following commercially available Terumo Aortic knitted and woven grafts and cardiovascular patches: * Gelsoft Plus - Straights and Bifurcated * Gelsoft Plus - Extra-Anatomical * Cardiovascular Patches - Gelseal, Gelsoft and Thin Wall * Gelweave - Abdominal, Thoracic and Thoracoabdominal * Gelweave - Valsalva This is a non-interventional study and therefore only patients who would normally receive treatment with a Terumo Aortic devices as part of standard treatment at the participating institution can be enrolled.
