Stent graft shows promise for tricky aortic aneurysms
NCT ID NCT06972095
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looked back at 268 people who had a wide-neck abdominal aortic aneurysm repaired with the Endurant stent graft. Researchers checked how many needed additional procedures within one year and up to ten years after surgery. They also tracked any leaks around the graft. The goal is to see if this device is a good option for aneurysms with challenging neck shapes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Endurant stent graft (a mesh tube placed inside the aorta to reinforce the weakened area)
- What this could lead to
- If results are good, this could confirm that the Endurant stent graft is a safe, lasting option for people with wide-neck aortic aneurysms.
- What could go wrong
- This is a retrospective review, not a controlled trial, so it can't prove cause and effect. Results may not apply to all patients or newer devices.
