Aortic aneurysm, familial abdominal, 1

This study follows 1,200 people who received special fabric tubes (grafts) to repair or replace damaged arteries in the neck, belly, or legs. Researchers want to see how well the grafts work over time and how often problems like blockages or infections happen. It is an observatio…

This study tests a new device called Rapidlink, used during open surgery to repair or replace blood vessels in the chest. It involves 150 adults already scheduled for aortic surgery. The goal is to see if the device reduces major complications like stroke or death. Participants w…

This study tests a special balloon that uses shockwaves to crack calcium buildup in the iliac arteries, making it possible to deliver large aortic stents. About 40 adults with severe aortic disease and hardened arteries will be enrolled. The goal is to see if this approach is saf…

This early study tests a device called the A3-Shield, which is implanted to stabilize the neck of a small abdominal aortic aneurysm. The goal is to see if the implant is safe and can prevent the aneurysm from expanding. Twelve adults with small, symptom-free aneurysms will receiv…

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 …

This study tests an artificial intelligence software called Aorta AIM that automatically measures the size of the aorta from CT scans. The aorta can enlarge over time, leading to serious health problems, and accurate measurement is key for monitoring. Researchers will compare the…

This study tracks 300 adults with aortic disease to measure how their condition impacts quality of life, fatigue, mental health, and ability to work. Researchers will use questionnaires over 12 months to gather data. The goal is to better understand these challenges and help desi…

This study is creating a large biobank of blood, DNA, plasma, and tissue samples from 15,000 people with and without heart and aortic diseases. Researchers will use this information to better understand conditions like aortic aneurysm, heart failure, and bicuspid aortic valve. Th…

This study installs a 'black box' recording system in hybrid operating rooms to capture and analyze errors during vascular procedures. Researchers will study how teamwork, leadership, and the environment affect surgical performance and patient safety. The goal is to identify high…
