300 patients tracked to see if aortic stent holds up over time
NCT ID NCT06094127
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 300 people who already received a Zenith® Alpha Thoracic Endovascular Graft to treat a thoracic aortic aneurysm or ulcer. Researchers are checking how well the device works and how safe it is over the long term, especially looking at deaths related to the aortic disease. The goal is to gather real-world data to confirm the device's performance over its expected lifetime.
