Custom stents for aortic aneurysms: how do patients fare?
NCT ID NCT01937949
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tracks 200 people with complex abdominal aortic aneurysms who receive a custom-made stent graft to reinforce the weakened artery. Researchers measure survival, major complications (like heart attack or stroke), and quality of life using a standard questionnaire. The goal is to understand how well this minimally invasive treatment works in the short term.
