Can a new device prevent aortic aneurysm rupture?
NCT ID NCT03024554
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial is evaluating a new device called the Bifurcated Multilayer Flow Modulator (BMFM) for treating abdominal aortic aneurysms that involve the iliac arteries. The device is designed to be implanted inside the blood vessel to help stabilize the aneurysm and prevent it from rupturing. The study will include adults over 18 with this condition and will track safety and performance over 12 months, focusing on freedom from rupture and aneurysm-related death.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bifurcated Multilayer Flow Modulator (BMFM) – a device implanted to treat aortic aneurysms
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this device could offer a less invasive treatment option for abdominal aortic aneurysms, potentially reducing the risk of rupture and improving patient outcomes.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage trial with a small number of participants, so results may not be conclusive. Risks include device-related complications, aneurysm rupture, or the device not performing as expected.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: Patients must meet ALL of the following criteria: * Age over 18 * Life expectancy \> 12 months * Aortic aneurysms involving iliac arteries * Healthy proximal and distal landing zone * Adequate arterial access * Healthy branches and collaterals (no stenosis or previously treated by angioplasty) * Informed consent understood, signed and patient agrees to all follow-up visits Exclusion Criteria: Patients will be excluded if ANY of the following conditions apply: * Aneurysm rupture, impending or contained rupture * Aortic dissection * Aortic root aneurysm * Pleural effusion * Prior all surgical procedure within 30 days unless procedure is in preparation for device implantation or planned within 30 days post stent deployment * Myocardial infarction or cerebral vascular accident within 6 weeks of treatment * Presence/suspicion of connective tissue disorders, for example, Marfan or Ehlers-Danlos etc. * Contraindications to the anticoagulant or/ and antiplatelet medications * Allergic reaction to a contrast agent * Patient with undergoing or planned chemotherapy * History of bleeding disorder (coagulopathy) or thrombophilia * Shaggy aorta * Takayasu's arteritis * Presence/suspicion of infection (for example: mycotic aorta) * The use of the MFM® with stent-grafts or previously implanted stent-grafts * Pregnant or breastfeeding woman * Patients included in another clinical study
