To determine the safety and effectiveness of IMPEDE-FX RapidFill to increase the percentage of subjects with shrinkage of the abdominal aortic aneurysm sac when used as an adjunct to on-label endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) stent graft treatment in trial subjects considered candidates for elective EVAR.
In the spirit of improving patient safety and quality of healthcare in our region, the Dallas-Fort Worth Hospital Council Education and Research Foundation (Foundation) and Baylor Research Institute sought and obtained federal funding support (AHRQ grant) to develop an Abdominal Aortic Aneurism (AAA) surgery registry in North Texas. Participating centers will directly benefit from this project and will have access to a de-identified version of the registry data through their collaboration. These data may be used for quality improvement initiatives and/or to conduct your own research. In summary, this effort represents a substantial investment (with no costs to facilities) in improving outcomes for patients with AAA.
The Zenith®Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft Clinical Study is a clinical investigation approved by the US FDA to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft in the treatment of abdominal aortic and aorto-iliac aneurysms.
Standard of care dictates that eligible patients should receive an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) screening ultrasound. At present, different military primary care physicians utilize different methods at their discretion to ensure their patients get screened-telephone contact; mail-out reminders; referring patients for ultrasound directly from an office visit; as well as other methods-which we will refer to as "usual care". The purpose of this study is to improve screening rates for AAA and determine what notification methods are best at improving screening rates.
The purpose of this study is to compare acute technical outcomes of the Talent AAA Stent Graft system versus Cook Zenith Endograft at two high volume institutions, Albany Medical Center and St. Peter's Hospital in Albany, NY. The investigators are comparing the two devices as part of the evolution of endovascular repair (EVAR) for AAAs. The Zenith AAA Endovascular Graft received FDA approval on May 23, 2003, the Talent Abdominal Stent Graft System on April 15, 2008.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Talent Endoluminal Spring Graft System, an investigational device, to treat abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The treatment population will include patients with an abdominal aortic aneurysm who meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. All patients in the treatment population will undergo post-procedure follow-up evaluations at one (1), six (6), and 12 months and annually thereafter up to five (5) years post-procedure.
The objective of this clinical study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Cordis Endovascular Quantum LP™ Stent Graft System.
A multi-center, randomized clinical trial that will compare endovascular repair with standard open surgery in the repair of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). Long and short-term results as well as the cost and quality of life associated with these two strategies for AAA repair will be compared.
The Aortoseal Endostapling System is indicated in patients undergoing, or having undergone, treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) with an endovascular graft to provide enhanced fixation and apposition to the aorta.
The purpose of this research study is to look at whether an investigational imaging agent, 64Cu-DOTA-ECL1i, used during Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/ Computed Tomography (CT) scanning, can help to identify conditions that place patients at an increased risk for AAA rupture. The study is also looking more closely at cellular, molecular and inflammatory properties of the aortic wall. Having the ability to identify markers that predict AAA progression/expansion and risk for rupture could allow the physician to manage patients in a more individualized, personal way.
Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a degenerative vascular disease, which is typically asymptomatic until rupture, resulting in high mortality. AAAs are more prevalent in men over age 65, though rupture is disproportionately higher in women. Due to nonlinear and unpredictable aortic dilatation, it is challenging to predict the AAA rupture using clinical diagnostics based on morphology. No medical therapy is used clinically to treat AAA, and there is an unmet need for clinically translatable, molecular biomarkers of AAA disease activity for surveillance and patient-specific management. The goal of this proposal is to develop a new approach for the diagnosis and targeted therapy of AAA.
Eligible subjects in this study will have either a known abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) or because they do not have an AAA (control group). The purpose of this research study is to further study, through FEA, changes that occur in the mechanical properties of the aortic wall. The investigator will compare two radiotracers, 18F-FDG and 11C-PBR28 to determine if one provides more useful and reliable information about inflammation. 18F-FDG and 11C-PBR28 are radioactive drugs that will be used for imaging during the PET-CT scan. The investigator will also compare the results describing the mechanical properties of the AAA wall to the degree of inflammation in that wall as determined by PET-CT imaging to define new and better predictors of AAA growth and/or rupture.
This study will evaluate a randomized comparison of direct versus snare techniques for cannulation of contralateral gate during an endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR) procedure. This information will be used to determine if primary snaring is superior to retrograde cannulation in decreasing procedural time and radiation exposure.
The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess and evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Treovance Stent-Graft with Navitel Delivery System in subjects with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms (AAA).
This study was designed to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of ACZ885 on aneurysmal growth rate in subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA). The purpose of the study was to provide data to enable decisions regarding the further development of ACZ885 for subjects with abdominal aortic aneurysms. The design of this study addressed the primary objective of evaluating the change in aneurysmal size in subjects with AAA as a result of treatment with ACZ885.
This post-market study is approved by the US FDA to evaluate the long-term safety and performance of the Zenith® Fenestrated AAA Endovascular Graft.
The objective of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the Endologix Nellix® System for the endovascular repair of infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
As endovascular procedures become more complex, there is a growing need for 3D image overlay to assist with device guidance and placement. Currently, a 3D image is typically created intra-operatively using 3D rotational angiography (3D-RA) or cone-beam CT (XperCT). This 3D image may then be overlaid on live fluoroscopy to provide 3D guidance information (Dynamic 3D Roadmapping). Philips Healthcare multimodality overlay products allows registration of a pre-acquired MR/CT or 3D rotational image to live fluoroscopy.
A prospective, non-randomized, multi-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Aptus Endovascular AAA Repair System compared to an open surgical repair historical control group in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA).
The goal of this project is to establish a biobank of clinical information, DNA, plasma, and aortic tissue samples from patients with cardiovascular disease as well as healthy controls.
Registry for Endovascular repair of abdominal aortic aneurysm performed primarily by Interventional Cardiologists
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis to treat an infrarenal aneurysm located in the abdominal aorta. Performance of the GORE® EXCLUDER® Conformable AAA Endoprosthesis will be judged by separate performance goals.
This is a Prospective Registry study to collect imaging and clinical data both on patients with aortic aneurysm disease undergoing serial monitoring and on patients pre and post-endovascular repair, using ViTAA (The Sponsor) aortic mapping technology.
In this research, the investigators are looking at the effects of a drug called metformin may have on the growth of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA)s. AAA is an abnormal enlargement of the aorta, which is the large artery in the abdomen (stomach area). The enlargement of the aorta carries a risk that it will rupture and cause life-threatening bleeding in the abdomen (belly). In this study the investigators hope to learn how metformin is associated with the enlargement or change in size of the AAA in study participants. Smaller studies have suggested that metformin may reduce the rate at which aortic aneurysms enlarge. This study will test this question: does metformin prevent AAAs from growing larger?
This extended investigation is to provide continued physician access to the device and collect confirmatory safety and effectiveness data.
The Zenith® Low Profile AAA Endovascular Graft Clinical Study is a clinical trial to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith® Low Profile AAA Endovascular Graft used in conjunction with the Zenith® Spiral-Z® AAA Iliac Leg Graft to treat abdominal aortic, aortoiliac, and iliac aneurysms.
