New chimney graft study aims to fix tricky aortic aneurysms without open surgery
NCT ID NCT03320252
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a special chimney graft technique for people with a type of aortic aneurysm that is hard to treat because it is close to the kidneys. The goal is to see if this method is safe and works well in everyday medical practice. About 150 adults will take part, and researchers will track major complications and how well the repair holds up over time.

Inclusion Criteria: * Subject is ≥18 years old * Subject is scheduled for primary treatment of the juxtarenal aortic aneurysm with a short infrarenal neck (i.e. no revision subjects) * Subject is able and willing to comply with the protocol and to adhere to the follow-up requirements * Subject has provided written informed consent * Subject is an eligible candidate according to the currently available Endurant II/IIs instructions for use for ChEVAR * Subject has a juxtarenal aortic aneurysm with a short infrarenal neck (definition of juxtarenal aortic aneurysm with a short infrarenal neck will be in accordance with commercially available Endurant II/IIs instructions for use for ChEVAR). Exclusion Criteria: * Subject is participating in a concurrent study which may confound study results * Subject has a life expectancy ≤ 2 year * Subject has an aneurysm that is: * Suprarenal or pararenal * Isolated iliofemoral * Mycotic * Inflammatory * Pseudoaneurysm * Subject requires emergent aneurysm treatment, for example, trauma or rupture * Subject has previously undergone surgical treatment for abdominal aortic aneurysm * Subject is a female of childbearing potential in whom pregnancy cannot be excluded * Subject has a known hypersensitivity or contraindication to anticoagulants, anti-platelets, or contrast media, which is not amenable to pre-treatment * Subject has a creatinine level \>2.0 mg/dl (or \>176.8 μmol/L) and/or is on dialysis * Subject has an active COVID-19 infection or relevant history of COVID-19. Relevant history of COVID-19 is defined as availability of a positive COVID-19 test with sequela or hospitalization for treatment of COVID-19.
