Aortic aneurysm stent study pulled before it began
NCT ID NCT00488696
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study planned to test a branched stent-graft for treating aneurysms in the aortic arch, a high-risk area near the heart. The goal was to see if the device could be safely placed and hold up over time. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.
