  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • Male or infertile female
  • Have signed an informed consent form.
  • Are considered an appropriate candidate for open surgical repair of an abdominal aortic aneurysm.
  • at least one of the following: Abdominal aortic aneurysm >= 4.5 cm in diameter; aneurysm has increased in size by 0.5cm in last 6 months; maximum diameter of aneurysm exceeds 1.5 times the transverse dimension of an adjacent normal aortic segment; saccular aneurysm larger than 3 cm.
  • Have patent iliac or femoral arteries that allow endovascular access to the aneurysmal site with a 17F Delivery Catheter.

Who cannot join

  • A dissecting, acutely ruptured, or leaking aneurysm, or an acute vascular injury due to trauma.
  • A need for emergent surgery.
  • contraindication to undergoing angiography.
  • A Thoracic aortic aneurysm that requires treatment.
  • Presence of thrombus or atheroma in proximal aortic neck covering > 50% of the endoluminal surface.
  • Presence of diffuse atherosclerotic disease in either common iliac artery that reduces the iliac artery diameter to <7mm.
Show all 18Show fewer
  • Congenital abnormalities in which the placement of the stent-graft will cause occlusion of major arterial flow. Such abnormalities should be evaluated(e.g. angiography or CT) prior to treatment.
  • Unstable angina
  • Morbid obesity or other clinical conditions that severely inhibit x-ray visualization of the aorta.
  • Connective tissue disease (e.g., Marfan's or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.)
  • Hypercoagulable state.
  • Contraindication for anticoagulation.
  • Acute renal failure.
  • Active systemic infection.
  • less than 18 years of age.
  • Life expectancy less than 1 year.
  • Current, or anticipated participation within 1 year, in another research study involving an investigational device or new drug (with the exception of participation in the Lifeline Registry of Endovascular Therapy).
  • Other medical, social, or psychological issues that in the opinion of the investigator preclude them from receiving this treatment, and the procedures and evaluations pre- and post-treatment.

About this study

This study was a prospective observational study examined the safety of the TriVascular AAA Stent-Graft System in the elective treatment of patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Specifically, the study will evaluate the safety of the TriVascualr AAA Stent-Graft System, evaluate the ability to deliver the Tri-Vascular AAA Stent-Graft System to the desired location within the aorta, and evaluate the ability of the TriVascular AAA Stent-Graft to exclude the abdominal aortic aneurysm.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants Without a Device Related Adverse Events Within 1 Month of the Study Procedure.

    Device related adverse events included, but were not limited to: Stent Graft Migration, Vessel dissection or perforation, stent graft occlusion, branch vessel occlusion, aneurysm rupture.

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Number of Participants Without a Type I, III, and/or IV Endoleak at 1 Month Follow-up Identified by Computed Tomography (CT).

    A Type I endoleak is a persistent perigraft channel of blood flow that develops due to inadequate or ineffective seal at the graft ends (attachment zones). A Type III endoleak occurs in the midgraft region due to leakage through a defect in the graft fabric or between the segments of a multisegmental graft. A Type IV endoleak is seen on completion of angiography or subsequent contrast studies as any blush of contrast that is presumed to emanate from blood diffusion across the porous graft fabric or through small holes in the graft cause by sutures or stent struts.

    Measured: 1 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants Who Achieve Technical Success of the Stent Graft System.

    Technical success was defined as successful introduction of the delivery catheter into the arterial system at the time of the study procedure and successful delivery/deployment of the stent graft system to the intended location with the absence of device related surgical conversion and intra-operative mortality. Device related surgical conversion is defined as the inability to deliver or deploy the stent graft system, then subsequently surgically treating the patient.

    Measured: Post procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing TriVascular Stent-Graft System in people with Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, run by Boston Scientific Corporation at 7 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Jan 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Jan 2011). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants Without a Device Related Adverse Events Within 1 Month of the Study Procedure. (time frame: 1 month). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Jan 2011.
