New stent technique aims to tame deadly aortic aneurysms without open surgery
NCT ID NCT07141251
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new procedure called BAO-G for people with complex aortic aneurysms (bulging of the main artery in the chest and abdomen). The technique uses off-the-shelf stent grafts to rebuild the artery's branches from inside the blood vessel, avoiding major open surgery. The study will enroll 60 participants across multiple centers to check if the procedure is safe and works well in the short and long term.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BAO-G procedure (using G-iliac system to reconstruct visceral branches during endovascular repair)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this technique could offer a less invasive, safer option for repairing complex aortic aneurysms, reducing the need for open surgery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial with only 60 participants, so results are preliminary. The procedure carries risks like endoleak, branch occlusion, or aneurysm rupture.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Diagnosed with Crawford type III-IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm or complex abdominal aortic aneurysm, with a healthy proximal landing zone (\>20mm length, angulation \<60°) in the descending aorta and maximum aneurysm diameter ≥4cm 2. Scheduled for endovascular aortic repair with commercially available iliac branch devices for visceral artery reconstruction 3. Signed informed consent and committed to protocol-defined follow-up Exclusion Criteria: 1. Acquired language barrier, intellectual decline, cognitive impairment, or mental illness preventing informed consent 2. Uncontrolled autoimmune diseases (e.g., Takayasu arteritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, vasculitis) 3. Prior aortic surgery with stent-graft or prosthetic vascular graft implantation 4. End-stage renal/hepatic/cardiac/pulmonary failure or malignancy diagnosed within 5 years, likely to cause mortality during follow-up 5. Active bleeding or coagulopathy within 6 months (high bleeding risk) 6. Uncontrolled hypertension (resting SBP \>180 mmHg or DBP \>110 mmHg) 7. Uncontrolled diabetes (fasting blood glucose \>16.7 mmol/L) 8. Severe hepatic/renal dysfunction (serum creatinine \>3 mg/dL, ALT/AST \>3×ULN) 9. Concurrent participation in other interventional clinical trials 10. Pregnancy or perinatal status 11. Refusal to sign informed consent
