THORACOABDOMINAL AORTIC ANEURYSM

This study tests a new way to repair complex aortic aneurysms (bulging blood vessels) using special stents. The goal is to see if the BAO-G technique is safe and works well for up to 5 years. About 60 adults with certain types of aortic aneurysms will take part. The approach uses…

This study tests a minimally invasive procedure to treat large aneurysms in the aorta (the main artery) in the chest and belly area. Instead of open surgery, doctors place a fabric-covered metal tube (stent-graft) inside the aneurysm to seal it off. The goal is to see if this app…

This study looks at how safe and effective a custom-made stent graft is for treating complex aortic aneurysms (bulging blood vessels near the kidneys or chest). About 50 people at high risk for open surgery will receive the graft. Researchers will track serious complications like…

This study tests whether doctor-modified grafts can safely repair complex aortic aneurysms in patients who are too high-risk for standard surgery. About 220 participants with abdominal or thoracoabdominal aneurysms or aortic dissections will receive the custom graft. The goal is …

This study compares two ways to treat complex abdominal aortic aneurysms: using a custom-made stent-graft versus one shaped with the help of a 3D-printed model of the patient's aorta. About 100 adults with large or fast-growing aneurysms will take part. The goal is to see if the …

This study tests a stent graft that doctors modify by hand to treat complex aortic aneurysms in patients who cannot use standard FDA-approved devices. About 40 high-risk adults will be enrolled, and the main goal is to see if the graft is safe and works well at one year. The appr…

This study is testing three custom-designed stents to treat complex aneurysms in the main artery (aorta) that standard devices cannot fix. The goal is to see if these less-invasive stents can lower the risk of death, lung problems, and hospital stay compared to open surgery. Abou…

This study compares two ways of using a heart-lung machine during open surgery for a thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm (a bulge in the main artery in the chest and belly). About 236 adults from four hospitals in China will be randomly assigned to one of two bypass techniques. The …

This study looks at how safe and effective custom-made stents are for treating complex bulges or tears in the main artery (aorta). About 760 people with large or fast-growing aneurysms will receive these special stents. Researchers will track deaths, major complications like hear…

This study is testing a stent device (TAMBE) to treat large bulges in the main artery of the chest and belly (thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm). About 100 people will get the device, and doctors will check if it works safely and stays open. The goal is to control the aneurysm, no…

This study looks at whether a low dose of ketamine can lower the amount of strong painkillers (opioids) needed and improve pain control in people recovering from a type of aortic repair surgery called TEVAR. About 30 adults scheduled for this surgery will receive either ketamine …
